It could be worse. Your Nurse manager could be sisters with the HR Director like in my hospital. Talk about trying to get "fair and just"...it just doesn't happen.

What does "pation" mean?

I am an RRT and a RN. I use to work full time as a RT and prn as a nurse. Then I flipped it. I have a great advantage with the knowledge of 2 degrees. I find myself doing both jobs at the same time and it is not uncommon to do so. I work in a 25 bed hosptial (Acute Access) and as a RN or a RT, you will do a lot of everything. I appreciate it. Either way, the education is valuble.

I will work 2 18 and a 12 hour shift in a week and in a row. However, these are not scheduled but rather "open shift incentives". THey can be difficult at times but I want extra money. I would prefer 12 hours.

I really can't see how that would be even feasible for the Hospital. It would cost more money to staff 8 then it would 12 hours due to the increase in staff it would take to staff the 8. I've seen facilities ask the staff a preferance of 8 or 12 hours. Oddly enough, they choose 8 every time. But cost effecient? Very doubtful.

No matter what...take a break. Just kick back from the PC and go out of the room for 15 minutes and then come back in. It will relax you. And do not freak if you go over 75 questions and the PC does not shut off. Just remember to breathe.

I have to agree with what they are saying. I strongly suggest at least 2 years of Med/Surg but with your experience...I would recommend 1 year. You won't regret it and you will have a broader knowledge base for your other position.

:) I have been an RRT and an RN for several years. I enjoy doing both jobs and all at the same time. As far as wages go, RN's get paid more in the long run.
