    Sydryth replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Sydryth replied to Irish_Mist's topic in General Nursing

  5. Exit Interview. Honest or not?

    Sydryth replied to sungrl01's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sydryth replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    Being that I have worked at several large hospitals, I can understand your frustration. Large hospitals are just worried about their cheesy hcaps scores, but you have to realize that effects how much...

  7. "Your job is to make me happy"

    Sydryth replied to Nurse216's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sydryth replied to Fiddlesticks27's topic in Critical Care

    The amount of experience you have behind you gives you a tremendous amount of background to fail back on. It will help the transition that much more. As a ICU nurse, I would much rather have someone...

  11. Should I quit my 2nd job? How many work 2 jobs here?

    Sydryth replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    Sydryth replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been nursing for 10+ years and have worked nearly all aspects of bedside nursing, except L&D and postpartum. Getting and giving a good detailed report on a patient is very valuable in...

  14. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Sydryth replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing
