Great advice! Thank you!

Ive been a nurse for 13 years. I began a new job on an oncology floor in January. I love it. Great team work and support (with exception of a few lol). Problem is.....I have stress and anxiety the day/night prior to shift. I dont sleep well, i guess...

Anyone heard of policy in having to give 30 days notice of resignition of RN position on med/surg tele....hospital?

I tried being honest and asking I could call out and use pto for last 2 days. They said no. Wouldn't count the full 30 days. This system is fairly new to area and I drive 50 minutes to and from.

My clinical manager did say she was going to see if they would make an exception for me so there is a possibility they may let me do 2 weeks without penalty. We shall see. Thanks for all replies! Happy Holidays!

Those were my exact thoughts

She gave her 2 weeks and they said just leave now

Floor I'm on is very toxic and negative. Cursing helps cope and let's out stress. Lol. Of course not in front of certain populations.

Reason I am curious is this..........I had applied for an oncology position for which I felt strongly about, however I was too late as the position had already been filled. So I accepted another position at another facility and I have been there for ...

So I was not working for 7 months waiting on a job that I thought would be a good fit for me. I'm on a med surg floor days.....it is horrible. Lack of proper staffing and no support. The total opposite of what was presented to me at the start. I shou...

Lol. Didnt think the previous post went through. Went to interview today and I feel like it went well. She said she will let me know soon. Thanks to everyone for support.

So I have an interview at 330 today with the oncology floor I originally wanted to be on. I'm so nervous about answering questions about my current job and using as a reference. Any ideas?

So an update.....I have an interview tomorrow on oncology. I'm so confused what to do or say about the job I'm currently in......as far as reference and such. Any ideas? Thank you.

All good. Thank you for the support!

Thanks for all replies. The thing is I took 7 months because I needed a change but didnt know what I wanted to do. Also transitioning with a life change of empty nesting. The healthcare system that i applied for and i am currently with seemed wonderf...

What do I tell my current employer? Especially if the new one wants to call for reference? Dont mean to be stupid but dont wanna shoot myself in the foot. I want to do it in the right process.

I am returning to med surg after 8 years of another speciality. I am trying to find good resources concerning IV meds that need to be diluted in NS as well as iv compatability. Can anyone shout out meds that need to be diluted or reference a resource...

Hoping to get some advice please. Hurt my neck and shoulder to the point that any movement or deep breaths cause shooting nauseating pain. I have had this once before along time ago and md prescribed flexeril at bedtime. Have to work tomorrow.........

Thank you for your response. That's what my gut says but I hate calling out. Gotta do what we gotta do I guess. Thanks!

I was just referring to the fact if I would get in trouble for taking flexeril the night before a shift......just opinions

This made me sad due to the fact of a lack of teamwork! Absolutley nothing wrong with hanging to finish. I just had a transfer from ER to me the other day and they had just hung rocephin.......the the other day I had a K+ that I had to leave for nex...

So a bad day of orientation. I've been a nurse for 11 years. Just went back to med surg. Today we had a slightly emergent issue and I was asked to spike and prime tubing with NS. The IV bags I find hard to pop the tubing entry and though i had popped...

Thanks guys for all your response. I appreciate the support!

I work on a med surg tele unit that does that. We all meet at nurse station at a set hour every day. Very helpful in collaboration and communication to produce better pt outcomes.

Yes you guys are right. Just frustrating. I appreciate your words of support. Thank you very much.
