Im scheduled to work tue/wed nights then friday day shift. this is not my choice. have anyone ever done this? My instinct says fight this, but its a new job and I dont want to cause trouble. ( sorry for the grammar.typing on my hubbies tablet and not used to it)

how does the ed mess things up? just curious. we do bedside report at the ed i work in. (please excuse grammar)

I know nurses are supposed to be full of customer service and compassion in all, but when we are busy running around with emergenices sometimes we may come off a little short. Tell your grandma not to take it personally. I wonder if people post about waitresses, police men, and teachers being rude. It seems as though nurses are suppose to be perfect.

Many factors are involved. -Poor retention of new grads due to bullying, or culture shock -Not enough good quality preceptors -Ofcourse money -More new grads than jobs out there. I'm just so bless that I haven't been in a situation where I've been an unemployed nurse. I don't know what it is but I never had an issue with finding a job.

As matter of fact. When I was in nursing school, I would take a blank piece of paper and practice signing my name LPN and RN. It was my motivation.

Congrats! It feels so good doesn't it. I still get a tingling feeling when signing my name. Proud RN!!!

I'll be on nights as well, which will be super busy. My main weakness is IV starts and drawing blood. That gives me so much anxiety.

I have very high anxiety myself. I used to take ativan regularly but I stopped because it made me kind of forgetful. Everyone is different thought. I hope I don't break down in the ED. I'm soooo nervous.

Congrats! Not sure what a joint camp is but congrats anyway!

Not another ADN versus BSN thread. Somebody Shoot me. It is simple. I getting my BSN because I need a job. I don't want anyone to have the excuse to not hire me and/or fire me because I don't have it. I got my schedule today and it seemed like a bunch of fluff, but I'm not complaining.

This is me totally. I'm in deep trouble, I see. I will try to hard not to play social work.

I could have written this post! However, I know my heart belongs to OB. I used to do ICU and I'm starting the ED this week. I know this is not what I want but I figure I'd try it for the experience and to put my foot in the door. Lets encourage eachother. I start orientation on the floor next week. I'll let you know how it goes.

I used to me a LPN in ALF, the OP did everything correct. Time is crucial. I don't have time to radio to tell the family member xyz, my nurse brain would have went straight to the emergency. If I saw the family member on the way to the room I would tell them give me a some time as I'm running. I hope that any RN will NEVER prioritize a family complaint over a fall. OP your documentation should be enough to CYB.

I would choose job number 2. Alot of ED and ICU units want medsurg experience.

What does your heart say? You are not burning any bridges as long as you are honest and polite. Let us know what you decide!!!!
