Hi guys! Everyone here always give me such good advice so I wanted to see from others experience. I am accepting a position per diem in a float pool, I would like to get either a part time or per diem home care job as well. I have a few years experience in critical care but am looking for a flexible schedule and to get on a day schedule as I am soon getting married and my husband would like me to be on the same schedule as him. Just wondering if anyone has experience with a particular agency and there pay? If they have on call I heard on call is where a lot of people make money. Just wondering how people's schedule was ? If it was flexible. Any feedback would be appreciative !! Thanks

Any idea on how much you get paid per visit ?? I was looking into an infusion solution company as well !! Thanks so much .. I just didn't know if it would be worth it, trying to save up to buy a house figured that would be good saving money if it would be worth it .. Any idea on how many visits most companies offer per diem RN's ?

I am nurse on a telemetry floor who works night shift 12 hour shifts, so I find myself working only 3 nights a weeks. There is not much overtime or pick up shifts on the floor I work on, I would like to find a per diem or flexible part time job, I am thinking home care? Does anyone have any suggestions, I love in massachuettes (Fall River area) close to rhode island? Any suggestions if I should Persue this or not ? Or a company ?

I just wanted to thank you guys for the feedback !! I appreciate it so much, I did as you guys suggested went to the manager and agreed that the program is overly ambitious with only 8 weeks of training and she would be unable to extend my orientation that it might not be the right setting. I truly didn't feel comfortable and I would never want to put patients at risk, so I accepted a position on telemetry I feel that I will get a good foundation and experience and maybe in time can go back to the unit. I appreciate everyone's advice and positive feedback, I am doing so good on telemetry and really feel more comfortable and confident. Thank you and happy new year !!

I am a recent graduate nurse may 2014, I got accepted into a residency program at a hospital I interned at for critical care right after I passed the NCLEX. Our group consisted of 6 individuals .. We were placed on a med surg floor for initial training consisting of 6 weeks but with classes it ended up being only 4 weeks of actual on the floor training. We were then placed in the ICU for 4 weeks and then switched to CCU for 4 weeks. On the med surg floor I felt so confident that I was really understanding it and received compliments and all positive feedback. Now I finshed my ICU experience I never got any negative feedback but all of a sudden the manager told me I need help with time management and that the preceptor felt like she was prompting me too much .. But honestly I felt that she was so aggressive and wouldn't let me do things on my own I just let her lead and that I am most likely paying for not being assertive enough. Now I am on the CCU side .. I have a crazy preceptor that is the only way to put it, she is very smart and knows more than some doctors but she expects so much from me .. She gets upset if I am not doing something fast enough in non emergent situations mind you and she will rip things out of my hand .. She says she believes I am capable but I lack a basic skill set which I agree there is so much I haven't done yet because I haven't been given the opportunity .. But she is so dismissive of me and will just take control and talk to doctors without including it but then I get negative feedback that I am not taking on the assignment my self ? At this point she has belittled me so much I hate coming into work thinking this was a terrible decision going to nursing school. Is it normal to feel this way ? I think the ICU may not be the place for a new grad .. I don't know what to do ? They don't want to extend our orientation and I don't even think the manger wants me .. The staff seem like they can't be bothered and make terrible comments about us .. Makes it difficult to stay upbeat while at work .. Please help any advice would help
