I like your comment...I work in a very busy ER and have to deal with many staff members that act like children and leave messes everywhere and when I ask them to pick up after themselves ...I'm the one with attitude. So many staff I see come to work...take out the cell phones and start chatting...this job is not supposed to be a social club....we are here to take care of sick patients....sometimes I want to yell..get off your butts and answer the call lights and medicate your patient that's been waiting for their pain meds for hours. I also overhear my fellow RNs complain about their jobs, about management, about minor things....sometimes I have to leave the breakroom bcc it's too much. I know times are changing...times are tough but we are RNs and we're here to do a job and we get paid well to do it. from a RN who also had to vent....lol

To Ruby. I'm sure your one of them.

Stay in CA, the pay here is the highest in the country. Soon jobs will open up bc of the new healthcare plan, there will be a huge demand for RNs, a lot will retire soon. The jobs are out there just keep with it. Although on the down side Hospitals are looking for experienced RNs bc of the high applications being put out there.

to Farmboy: your not ready to be a Nurse. You have alot of growing up to do. you think you will never have to put a foley catheter in a female patient while working in a hospital. A part of being a nurse is helping people no matter what sex they are. were here to do a job and do it while being professional. grow up already..
