  1. Help!! New nurse that hates Med/Surg!

    RK694 replied to M0nk3y007's topic in Nursing Career

    No, it's not the exception. I, too have had multiple jobs and have never had any problems getting the jobs I want. It's just not a big deal anymore - especially given it is in the same

  2. Help!! New nurse that hates Med/Surg!

    RK694 replied to M0nk3y007's topic in Nursing Career

    99.9% of nurses hate med/surg. That's what happens when you're treated like a slave. NEVER stay in a job you hate. Take some courses in medical aesthetics. Add those to your

    RK694 replied to danij040866's topic in Nursing Career

    Excuse me, but this doesn't sound like an AL. AL's don't take "total care" patients. After reading your post a couple times, some of the things you say just don't make sense. 4-5 falls every night? 6...

  8. Taking Job Hopping to a New Level

    RK694 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have a similar background as yours in that whenever I did any kind of direct patient care, I did not last long and quit. I hated it. Fortunately, I do have a couple of other careers and additional...

  9. Why Can't I Get a Job?

    RK694 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You want a job in a hospital doing direct patient care? Why? Given your background, and especially your education, many employers would consider you to be overqualified. In the past when I have...

    RK694 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    RK694 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing
