Deebuzz BSN, RN

Your emotional, physical and mental health will suffer along with your family life. I have finally decided to leave the bedside and I've never felt so happy. At only 25, I felt like I was going to be stuck in this state for the rest of my working lif...

Yes you need to get out of that place. Sadly this is becoming a reality in nursing where we have multi disciplinary teams yet the nurse is responsible for everything. PT, RT,OT all work with pts but it is the nurse who needs to troubleshoot everythin...

I work prn at a similar place and it is the absolute worst when your patients are so dependent and you have to do everything. We have Pca but no phlebotomist, most of these pts veins are so exhausted it takes 2-3 nurses to draw blood. Our pt ratio is...

I have a right to defend my decision as to why I do not like floor nursing, people can agree or disagree this is a discussion. That does not bother me. I don't need nor seek sympathy. I know what works for me and floor nursing doesn't. If you love it...

Home health CM is going to be another endeavor. If I don't like it then I'll just have to move on. That's fine. I'm going with an open mind.

I will be doing CM for a home health agency. Currently I work on a tele floor and pt ratio is anywhere from 6-8 per nurse with only 2-3 pca on a 35 bed unit. I feel I never get time to do anything but my timed tasks which is giving meds because I jus...

Hello dear, as you can tell from this thread there are those that understand your point of view and those who are so negative that they shldve left this CARING profession long ago. Unfortunately, I've been around many coworkers who were just downrigh...

My feelings exactly. People come to the hospital for health care and life saving measures. Why the heck should we have to deviate from that to entertain, make sure the toast is done just right and fill up their water pitcher as soon as they call.

Thank you for your support 😀.This is is the attitude of 80% of people I've worked with as a nurse. Rude, nasty and sarcastic. I'm glad these people work in environments where they have zero unrealistic demands placed on them. Maybe some of these n...

Thank you guys for the support but I'm so flabbergasted as to some of the responses. This is a discussion board and usually you can agree or disagree but for those of you who are negative this is exactly the reason nursing is declining and will conti...

Ruby Vee or should I say Florence nightingale. First of all I was making a general thought of what bedside nursing is for me in my current situation if you don't agree you could've kept on scrolling or don't comment at all..people like you are what w...

I've been a nurse for 1.5 years and I could not wait to get out of the hospital. I did PCU, oncology, and tele and all were pretty miserable most times with tele being the absolute worst. I felt after just a year and a half its way to early to be bur...

I am not playing the blame game in regards to my marriage but if I stay at the bedside it will put a strain in our relationship. Different people have different coping mechanisms. I just so happen to let the negativity affect my mood at times. Wished...

My ultimate goal is to get out completely. It's just so sad to see..while at work all my coworkers can talk about is how unhappy they are and how burnt out their becoming. Plenty nurses on my floor at taking antidepressants. No ma'am I will not go do...

I'm fine dealing with my patients because I really do love some of them, I usually wear a brave face and I don't show my unhappiness when I'm around families or patients. I do believe in keeping a professional demeanor even when I'm fed up. What irks...

Yes I would but on a different level, I won't be providing direct patient care. I don't mind going the the motions of dealing with people. I hate the direct contact I have with nasty patients who don't give a crap about their health and family member...

I come home miserable most days that I work and just want to go to bed in a very depressed state. My husband hates that I bring that negative energy home. There is always that 1 or 2 patients that really tug on your heart and you feel a sense of purp...

Your post resonated with me on a personal level because I am one of those new grads who moved 2000 miles across the country for my first nursing job. I realized that There was no nursing shortage before I graduated and mentally prepared myself to rel...

I am also a new RN on a Cardiac progressive care unit. I am super nervous but so ready to learn..how is your position going do far?

Definately..I would stay there if the pay was better. I feel career wise it's a good move for new grads because you get in they train you and because they have such a need for nurses there after the initial year one can probably specialize in their c...

I agree and I do wish overall the base pay was more but at this point I'm new and more than anything the experience is what I'm seeking so I can move on.

Sanford pays slightly more $23.80 and shift differentials varies from .50c to $2.00 depending on which shift you work....st A. pays 22.79 with $3 differentials so both r in the same ballpark...cost of living is lower in fargo tho so I guess ur pay wo...

Which state are you in now??...yes I really appreciate how everyone has been so accommodating so it is honestly killing me to have to turn one down. The nurse manager said "us new nurses are doing them a favor" I'm like WTH!!! No u guys are doing us ...
