OMG! I pray YOU are never THE NURSE assigned to ME and My FAMILY/FRIENDS.

Congratulations and thank you for an honest, heartfelt story! Much success to you!

Offensive odors!---one of the many occupational/ environmental irritants of health care. I use Lysol disinfectant spray and yeah, we're not suppose to use spray. DON'T CARE!!! Allergic to aerosols but NOT ALLERGIC TO OFFENSIVE ODORS??? I don't work with FUNK & FUNK don't work with me:sour:

I LOVE your salary!!! YOU-GO-NURSE!!!

Welcome to Nursing! Nursing involves people and I LOVE PEOPLE!--- All types of people. Since I work in "the Big Apple" I have the blessings of working with and taking care of all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, cultures---everybody!

Thanks for the invite. I will give it "a shot."

In my opinion, nurses are some of the most well-rounded professionals in the healthcare industry

wish I could hear from someone who has been there, made the change, and give me some kind of hope that there are better options out there that are worth making the change. I just can't see myself doing this forever. I did home care on a free-lance basis during the daytime hours IN ADDITION to working nights because I WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!! And I got it--- less pressure, more independence, more relaxed patients/families---I liked it and did it for about two years. The extra money wasn't bad either. But that was MY CHOICE! YOU DO YOU!---but it takes courage and perseverance to experiment and jump into a Job mix that's not the necessary "tried and true." It's you doing you! Many blessings and much success!

Just give me the night! So I can teach, perform, relax ---take down the facts! Nurse by night Actor- Teacher by daylight These are my rules Don't try to stop me, fools! From beginning to end I'm SHOWBIZRN!

D*** right! If you lack sufficient sleep, patient safety is at risk or is jeopardized! Never mind, your faulty nursing judgment due to impaired cognitive functioning related to your lack of sleep. NEVER risk patient safety due to some " pretentious" or "false" sense of commitment to report to work. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you take care of the patient(s)?

That's what I'm talking about!

I'm serious. I have attained a Masters in Nursing, two nurse certifications but... I WANT MORE!!! Sure---those who know me, freely laugh that I'm SHOW-BIZ honey always ready to make extra money but... I WANT MORE!!! I teach try not to preach yet still... I WANT MORE!!! is this a nurse thing?

Lol!!!!!! I gave-up MED-SURG a loooooooonnnng time ago!

Retirement? I'm ALWAYS going to keep busy but I don't plan on being STRESSED NO-NO-NO! Like the song goes, " This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine."

What you didn't say was whether orbit you have a passion for addictions nursing? I can't give you "a typical day info" but since the opportunity presents itself, GO FOR IT! I have the passion for addictions nursing but none for administration, so I work on the unit and teach. Much success to you!
