Hello all! I'm an ER nurse and have been for a little over a year just a little older than being a new grad. I took the TNCC course and it was a lot of information and I hear it's harder now than it was in previous years. Thankfully, I passed the TN...

Hello all! My name is Jenna and I've been an ER nurse for 3 years (BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC certified) . I've worked night shift the entire time and I love nights and the ER and the crew I'm with, but it's (working nights) killing my personal life and ...

Definitely! I've had many conscious sedations and codes quite a few times in my career so that's good! Yeah it makes me sad that she wouldn't keep me and took a new grad and from all of my co workers they loved me and my work ethic and I was a good...

Hello all, my name is Jenna. I have been an ER nurse (BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC) for 3 years now and yes, I love ER, it is my baby! However, I have been working nights and it is taking a toll on my person life (marriage life and kids), plus I have Hashim...

Hello all! I have been a night shift ER nurse for over 3 years and I recently got a job offer for day shift as an interventional radiology nurse! It's really exciting, it what's not as exciting is the on-call shift I keep hearing about. From what it ...

Wow!! Thanks so much for the details! Yeah we are a stroke center and we are a 422 bed hospital so pretty big. I think we have about 8 nurses maybe 10. My on call is 4 days a week after my shift from 6p-7a and every other weekend I'm on call. I'm no...

Okay so boss lady cleared it up! I'm on call after my shifts during the week until morning (Monday-Thursday or Friday depending on which day I have off) and I am on call every other weekend (so not every weekend)! The one constant say I get off every...

My hospital sounds like the size of yours and I do believe we are a stroke center. That's what I need to figure out. We do have rad call ins so I need to differentiate and see how much a nurse is really called in. It's hard to say, my manager start...

I totally value the life and work balance which is why I wanted to go to days, but all of this on-call? I just do not know anymore. I did accept the position, but the job is not entirely mine until, I finish the hiring paperwork/drug screen/health as...

Yeah, see? That is rough! If they has maybe like 3-4 on call shifts a month that would be do-able, heck even like 5!, but 8-10? I accepted the job but its not totally mine until I pass the drug screen/hiring papers/health assessment. I wonder if I s...

Ugh, you are smart! I accepted, but the job is not actually mine until I do the hire papers, health assessment, and drug screen. I have a kiddo and my hubby, going days was major and I was happy but with all of this on-call I am not sure. I wonder if...

Thanks so much for your response! Yeah, I mean when would I really have a good amount of time off you know? The pay would be nice, yes, but I was not expecting 8-10 on call shifts a month! Especially since those would be on nights probably or right a...

They do pay time and a half after two hours of being called in and they pay $3.75 to just be on stand by. But still, idk, I accepted the job, but technically do not fully have it until I finish my hire papers and health assessment and drug screen. I ...

I figured. Thanks so much!

Hello all! My name is Jenna and I've been an ER nurse for 3 years (BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC certified) . I've worked night shift the entire time and I love nights and the ER and the crew I'm with, but it's killing my personal life and not good for my he...

Ohh I see. Interesting! Yeah this position is for day shift so I'm hoping it's something like 7p-7a but I'm thinking it'll be like 7p-5p 4 days a week or something. I definitely will have a lot of questions to ask during the interview! Thank you!!

Sounds like a job for an ER nurse who needs a break from the hustle and bustle of ER nursing! It sounds like a good job for a shorter period of time. I would love to work days in that positions! At the same time I would not want to stay long because ...

Also when I mean it's killing my personal life I mean nights LOL NOT the ER! Just wanted to clarify haha

Thanks so much! Love the excellent advice you gave me because I was definitely wondering what kind of questions to ask during the interview process! This is a day shift job, but I'm curious about the hours. Is PACU 3 shifts or is it like a 10 hour sh...

Hey guys. My name is Jenna and I'm 22 and engaged. Before nursing school my fiancé and I were fantastic but a year into nursing school (with a year left) it has been entirely difficult. We both knew it was going to be really hard, but it's to a point...

How many people work and go to nursing school? I have a full time job at the hospital in the ER and I also start nursing school in a few weeks! After attending orientation I was filled with anxiety! Our instructors and the dean urged us to not work a...

Hey guys! I've made a decision to go to grad school in 2017 or 2018. I'm waiting so my husband can pursue his goal to become a fire fighter. I'm an ER nurse with a year under my belt so far and I love it! However, soon I will be ready to advance my...

That does sound fantastic! Thank you for sharing your experience!

I seem to be very interested in the education within the hospital. I think you've made very good points and have given me a great amount of insight in regards to the work you do! Thank you! I went to Grand Canyon University for my BSN and plan to go ...

Wow that's amazing! I hope I am able to do it. I work and my husband works and we have his daughter who is 5 and I am expecting in September so I hope after a year of adjusting I can begin my masters program. I'm nervous, I don't know how difficult t...
