    Working FT and PRN in different dept. at the same hospital?

    INN_777 replied to DesertSky's topic in General Nursing

    I asked the same question at my hospital where I am full time, since I am PRN at my former employer and it is a tough commute for me. I would rather pick up PRN at my current place of employment. From...

    INN_777 replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I know a few nurses who started as new grads in an outpatient setting and made a good career that way. And those are M-F 9 to 5 jobs. Could a good route for you, considering your scheduling...

    Client vs Patient

    INN_777 replied to srercg's topic in General Nursing

    I have, actually, given this quite a bit of thought over time. I don't like either term. As someone whose first career was business, I hate CLIENT. I think this represents the relationship as...

    Here is from a relatively new nurse (1.5 years - acute care). My answer is YES and NO. Yes, it is stressful, workload is heavy, patients are sick, patients and families are demanding and can be...

    Leaving Bedside Nursing

    INN_777 replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    Seriously? All your patients are unappreciative? All your coworkers are backstabbing? And all the docs disregard concerns? I've been at bedside for almost 1.5 years (2nd career) and, yes, it is a...

    New grad BSN looking for work!

    INN_777 replied to jtupper's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    In my experience employers want to see that you've graduated before considering you. You don't have to pass NCLEX prior to being hired. In your case they might also not be responding because you are...
