AutumnLeaves MSN, RN, NP

I would LOVE that job!

I understand 100%. Be well.

At the hospital that I am leaving, they give a rock to someone every month and call it "the rock solid award". Have done so for years. It's the same rock, it just gets passed back and forth.

Also check with local pharmacies and department of health-ours here is hiring people for PRN.

Got my second Moderna vaccine Friday,so now @about 83 hrs. I did have some mild fluish symptoms with moderate leg pain,mostly at night.It was less than I expected.

I got the Moderna vaccine on Monday @ 0800. My arm was a little tender after a couple of hours,so I took some Ibuprofen.Worked all day. By evening,my arm was swollen and painful.I felt as if I had chills and a headache all evening but no fever. Yeste...

Thank you very much.Stay safe!

We have a hospital policy that actually states no jeans or shorts when in building. That includes ANY trip into the hospital.

I have sent emails to all my state reps, the Governor and the President.I also contacted all of the local city councilors and the mayor. The only response I got was from the mayor.

We are also testing all surgical patients and finding a lot of positives. However, we still aren't allowed to wear face shields or N95s unless the pt. is positive. We still wear a paper mask for a week @ a time.

We lost a coworker to COVID over the weekend. I am so angry that I could scream.

I also work for a govt. hospital and our union is useless. They don't help us with pay, staffing or PPE.

That is what we are supposed to do where I work. We get one paper surgical mask a week and are only to use the N95 for aerolizing treatments/procedures. I know that some nurses wear the N95 under the paper masks in the ICU,but they have been getting ...

I have now been voluntarily isolated from my friends since early March.My family live in other states and I haven't seen them in months. I am 63,work FT and am exposed to COVID 19 patients. I decided in March that I wasn't comfortable exposing my f...

I apologize. Appreciate your very nice way of pointing out my mistake.

63 Years old.Was a CNA@ 17. LPN after that. Then RN 1984, NP for 14 years, So 40+ years as nurse.

I am 63 years old.I have a clotting disorder,controlled afib and am obese.I have been a nurse for nearly 40 years,I have decades of critical care experience.I work full time. I am so glad to know that I am so expendable,as apparently all of the chr...

Just throwing this out there for comments/opinions. Should health care workers over 60 and/or immunocompromised be working on the front lines, knowing they will be exposed?

Exactly! My non-nurse friends/family don't understand why I wouldn't quit,but they don't support me financially. I had 4 nurse/MD coworkers tell me on Friday that I shouldn't be there.I have been in health care my whole adult life and have never seen...

Yes.Front lines wasn't a good term, we are ALL on the front lines in health care. My question was more about comments/opinions about whether those people should be working or staying home. I realize that most of us have no choice.

Personally, I went to a brick and mortar school with in- person classes and a lot of clinical hours.I had to cut back to 2 sixteen hour shifts on weekends,which put me to 32 hrs ,but I could keep my benefits. It was hard but I made it.

You might also consider the VA. It takes a long time to get a job but they do hire mature nurses.

I have been an acute care NP for a long time. I have had several types of jobs but have never held a M-F day hrs position. The job I have now is inpatient/outpatient-I work for the hospital as the only NP in vascular surgery.My hours vary from day to...
