   I did apply to another job and I was hired into an RN position in a cardiac stress lab--I really like it. The convenience of the day hours is great and I learn tons about cardiology. The problem is...

   LTCnurse11 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Career

   I wanted to hear which people preferred large hospitals and which preferred smaller hospitals. You gave me your input on your smaller hospital, thanks. I hope to hear about work in a large hospital....

3. Rural Hospital vs Large Hospital

   LTCnurse11 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Career

   Hmmm interesting. I wish I would HAVE the opportunity to go other places in the critical access hospital that I work. I've gotten so eaten up by the internal politics that's what I strongly dislike...

   LTCnurse11 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

   All of this---awesome. Just awesome. It absolutely baffles me sometimes that humans are the "intelligent" species. Working EMS, I've seen some stupid crap. A pre pubescent boy who decided to go for a...

6. 12 hour shift

   LTCnurse11 replied to haiman7's topic in General Nursing

   No way. If you work nights it will kick your ass and make you sick. If you like taking up to 9-11 sick patients overnight then maybe it's your thing. Days will seriously kill you if you're working a...

10. Workplace cliques

    LTCnurse11 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep, it is everywhere. I think that in the smaller areas its easier to see because you are one of the few. Larger hospitals are widespread and have more departments and therefore more cultures. I...

11. Workplace cliques

    LTCnurse11 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is so interesting to hear that from another person. I had been working at a very small hospital as a new grad and it was astounding to see how few people it takes to create a "dictatorship". It's...

    LTCnurse11 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My nursing thought process is different than my parental thought process, but for obvious reasons you can't deliver the same care to patients as to your kids. There is some overlap but a divide in how...
