  1. LTCSNF RN to Medsurge in a flash. Can I pull this off ?

    anewsns replied to Cisl4him's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I have never traveled and never will. Travelers earn every cent of that really high pay as they are usually walking into very desperate situations. When my coworkers go travel I think they are...

  2. Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    anewsns replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like its a bad preceptor. If you really think you would like the unit I would request another preceptor. Otherwise you could just leave. If you did fine in your last job with no concerns...

  3. LTCSNF RN to Medsurge in a flash. Can I pull this off ?

    anewsns replied to Cisl4him's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should go to a place where you can get a decent orientation first. It's too much of a jump to go straight to traveling, but not a big jump if you can get around 6 weeks orientation. (I've...

  4. Super Unhappy New Grad RN, HELP. Advice needed.

    anewsns replied to Sweetlilcutie1998's topic in General Nursing

    I would continue to work on applications for the easiest jobs but also try to think of something else you may like to do in the future. I graduated in 2010 and some of my classmates are already doing...

  5. Tele vs Step down vs CCU

    anewsns replied to zombie nurse's topic in General Specialties

    Sounds like a stepdown. Do you mean CCU as in critical care

  6. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    anewsns replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    As far as patients not being able to see their records until the doctor has had a chance to talk with them. There are instances when the patient having the report in front of them when they visit the...

  7. Just Feeling Done With Nursing

    anewsns replied to Nurseybl06's topic in General Nursing

    Is SNF your only background? I hated working SNF for the same reasons you mentioned above. The bedside nursing world is rough right now but I still recommend trying at least one other area before...

  8. Anyone with Access Center experience??

    anewsns replied to cutiepie2012's topic in General Nursing

    Is that the same as a transfer center? Like triage of new patients coming into the hospital? That is where I just shadowed and liked it..I think the lack of responses may be from the fact that the...

  9. Return to work

    anewsns replied to moonrose2u's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this is not really within the realm of a neuro nurse since we are dealing with stuff like strokes and brain tumors, seizures and the like. Make sure you are limiting caffeine before bed and...

  10. Do you think you are a "hero"?

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with everyone and when they started calling us heroes, I felt like people just started seeing us as cartoon characters instead of

  11. Return to work

    anewsns replied to moonrose2u's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I kinda hope my coworkers don't need any monitoring or assistance at all, but desperate times call for desperate measures I

  12. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    anewsns replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently patients can't see flowsheets in EPIC so everyone knows. There are also exceptions to notes that could cause the patient to do harm to themselves or others, where doctors and case workers...

  13. First Few Weeks on Unit and Feeling Overwhelmed

    anewsns replied to BDluvsNursing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are so many really good new nurses around me who say the exact same thing in the beginning but grow to really like it after a while. I think you need to just allow yourself to be very lazy on...

  14. Jill Biden, ED.D.

    anewsns replied to Kooky Korky's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think Trump is old news and him and his supporters will eventually fade into the background since more and more people are voting now. We just need to keep people motivated to vote. Beerman is...

  15. Which position would be better?

    anewsns replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    Good call, maybe a day surgery center or urgent care would be

  16. Was I in the Right Here?

    anewsns replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very 3-11 shift thing to say, and I appreciate

  17. Susceptible to Misinformation: Why Do We Believe What We Believe?

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks Nurse Beth! I am soon going to read a book about how belief systems are formed in light of events in recent years. I am curious about all beliefs that are foreign to mine. I do feel that a...

  19. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To be fair, there are a lot of people and situations to be concerned about but the people who want the freedoms also tend to end up being the patients you are talking

  20. I cant be a nurse anymore

    anewsns replied to Cg134357's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe 1:1 with elderly people who need care at home? You may be working more in a CNA capacity but I think some wealthier families pay well. I think being an introvert doesn't mean you need to be away...

  21. Advice please

    anewsns replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I totally get it. Being toward the top or bottom of the totem pole are fairly uncomfortable at any job in my opinion, for the reasons you have

  22. Advice please

    anewsns replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the old job will ALWAYS take you back but I'm not so sure about the new one. You could always stay at the new job and keep in touch with the coworkers you are close to and keep tabs on...

  23. Jill Biden, ED.D.

    anewsns replied to Kooky Korky's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    How is a doctorate in education not worth much if you value medical doctors, who need people who are doctorates in education to educate med school professors? Anyway, everyone already knows she is not...

  24. Advice please

    anewsns replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience yes, big time!! At first I feel like I don't bond with many people and don't even really like anyone. I have had 3 nursing jobs and this happened during both switches. Over time I...

  25. My experience working in a surgical unit (med surg)vs an intermediate care unit (stepdown)

    anewsns replied to Jna2's topic in General Nursing

    This is my experience as well. I used to work in acute rehab which was a med-surg like environment and I felt like there was a lot of patients who were very sick and circling the drain. Switched to...
