    EmRN14 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello fellow nurses, I was offered a job as a public health nurse today and I'm torn about what todo. This is something I would love to do but I would be taking a paycut from 23.90 an hour to 20.0 an...

  2. Work from home insight?

    EmRN14 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Question for any nurses out there that may have worked from home or are working from home? I am expecting my first child and my husband and I work the same shift (M-F 8-5). Which would mean we would...

    EmRN14 replied to EmRN14's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for your reply. It is great knowing there are so many supportive and understanding nurses like me out there. I spoke with my husband and we went over the pros and cons to figure out...

  5. Nonsupportive Friend

    EmRN14 replied to jonorato's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That's really too bad. Unfortunately unless your friends are nurses, they have a difficult time understanding the stress that comes from nursing. My husband has a hard time understanding why I am...

  6. Night Shift Survival

    EmRN14 replied to allrncb's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am leaving night shift in a few weeks because I also had a difficult time with my mental well-being, restful sleep, and other health issues. I am so excited to be on days. Maybe after being there...

  7. Changing units - need advice

    EmRN14 replied to Fluffy1turbo's topic in General Nursing

    I would stay where you are to get some experience and then move on to another unit. Home care and SNF's can be very difficult. Home care you have ill patients but no other nurses will be around you...

  8. New Grad RN charge nurse position at a SNF

    EmRN14 replied to VeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad and working as a charge nurse in a SNF will be very difficult. It is a lot of work. I worked my first job at a SNF as a new grad and it was probably the hardest position I had. Not...

    EmRN14 replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a hostess at the Cracker Barrell. Worst. Job.

  10. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    EmRN14 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up!! I got my adn and applied for over 70 jobs until I got an offer. I looked at the interviews as good practice. Once I found a job, it wasn't really something I wanted to do but I knew I...

  11. Public health nurse job offer but will receive paycut...Opinions?

    EmRN14 replied to EmRN14's topic in General Nursing

    This post summed it up. I need to show my husband. lol he just doesn't do nursing so he doesn't get it. Apparently the benefits are better though and the taxes would be less because of where it's...

  12. Public health nurse job offer but will receive paycut...Opinions?

    EmRN14 replied to EmRN14's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I was thinking of going PRN at my current job and maybe doing a couple hours a month. That makes me feel more confident. I haven't made a decision but I feel like having much less stress would be...

  13. Public health nurse job offer but will receive paycut...Opinions?

    EmRN14 replied to EmRN14's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I did not think it was that bad either. If only spouses could experience the stress of nursing at least for a day then maybe they would understand better.

  15. Fetal demise

    EmRN14 replied to IamSecond's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have been wondering the same as I am beginning a new career on the mother-infant unit in a large hospital. I already have a hard time finding the right things to say to patients that are sad so I...

  16. Ethical dilemma

    EmRN14 replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely time for a new career and not a job. Find your passion. Don't work as an MA. Work as an RN like you are credentialed. Working as an MA will not help with your skills and it sounds like...

  17. My DON came to my house today

    EmRN14 replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I feel like the DON coming to your house was highly inappropriate. I would talk to your CEO or someone that would take care of that situation. I would have held the Lasix as well. You did not...
