    Lunah replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Well I am happy to say I am on my way to being a one-job RN. I gave notice to my teaching job, and they offered to convert me to adjunct rather than part-time, but I declined. I feel like I will get...

    Why do so many nurses work multiple jobs?

    Lunah replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that's my problem - none of my part-time jobs are PRN, they are all scheduled things with deadlines. The teaching jobs had hard weekly deadlines or grading deadlines, and the legal nurse...

    Wrong Department?

    Lunah replied to NNF2015's topic in General Nursing

    THIS is why places remain understaffed. And on what freaking planet is someone with NINE MONTHS of experience a preceptor? First clue that everything is going sideways. My husband (ER resident) keeps...

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

    When I was new to full-time healthcare as an ER tech/paramedic, I lost my voice completely by the end of the third shift. Sore throat, snot, cough, the works. You will build a strong immune system. ?...
