  1. New RN; I want to quit my job already.

    mtngrl replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would def be looking for a new job pronto....I wouldn't be miserable like that to just to get a year in, no way, you will end up severely depressed. Sounds like hospital nursing is not for you....

  2. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    mtngrl replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    I have looked into working for an optometrist but found they require certification to be an assistant. What do you do there and did you have to go back to school? I really can't go back to school...

  3. WHY do I need a BSN?

    mtngrl replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am an RN with my ADN and I have never felt pressured to go back to school. Graduated in 2004, now working at insurance company from home. I do work hard M-F and I sure as heck wouldn't want to do...

  4. lpn to rn? is it worth it?

    mtngrl replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to stay in an office setting I'd stick with LPN. That's a dream job for a lot of nurses. I worked in one as an RN but they did tell me upfront they mostly hire LPN's so my pay was very...

  5. Does nursing really suck that badly?

    mtngrl replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I also might had that in my years as a nurse it seems the nurse that want to do things right and really care are the ones that get burned out and depressed the most. The ones that take shortcuts,...

  6. Does nursing really suck that badly?

    mtngrl replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, it sucks. I have been in it for 10 years. The burden of responsibility is huge and NOTHING in nursing school prepares you for that. Not until you are on your own do you realize that. And I agree...

  7. How do I handle state survey

    mtngrl replied to itsdebraanne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  12. New (great!) job...and yet I still don't want to be a nurse?

    mtngrl replied to freespyryt's topic in Nursing Career

    I know how you feel. I am a worrier as it is so being a nurse was NOT a good idea. I would think about patients my entire weekend off, feeling stressed and thinking what if. I got out of clinical...

  13. Will I ever get over this? Personally or professionally.

    mtngrl replied to DoodabuzzRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nursing is just a scary job in that there's always that huge weight of when you will make a mistake and how bad will it be. It is a job with a huge responsibility...since we are all human and we WILL...

  14. I regret forever not going to medical school

    mtngrl replied to nurse2dr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm thinking some LPN's might take offense to saying your status in life is "so low". What is status anyway? Are you a good person, a good nurse, a good wife,etc? That's what matters. Also, that seems...

  15. No longer a nurse?

    mtngrl replied to withasmilelpn's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I am an RN and my title is Care Coordinator, but that is actually what I do, case management. But if I was a clinical nurse I would not want to be called a care coordinator. I think it would be...

  19. Thinking about Leaving Nursing

    mtngrl replied to cbond's topic in General Nursing

    I would not go to a hospital if you aren't confident in your skills. I doubt many hospitals would give you much orientation being that you are not a new grad. I felt the same way so I eventually got...

  20. Case management stress

    mtngrl replied to cawkazn's topic in Case Management

    Same here!!!! I got out of clinical nursing because I thought that was too stressfull....but wow this is even worse!!! I realize where I have worked over 2 years that we will NEVER get manageable...

    mtngrl replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    mtngrl replied to nervousnurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I would like to do the same thing eventually...get a non nursing job before I go completely insane. I just wonder what I would write on a cover letter. Do you say that you are looking to switch...

  24. I feel like they should change the title of this site to "reasons why my job sucks"

    mtngrl replied to hershdawg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess I am one of the venter's. But for me it is nice to know that other's feel the same way. It is like a support group! I have been in 8 years. I think it takes a certain personality to do well...

  25. Why did I go into nursing?

    mtngrl replied to whydididothis?'s topic in General Nursing

    I felt that way, too, so I have been taking jobs in case management. You usually have to have a few years of some type of clinical work first, though. A lot of insurance companies hire case managers...
