This. We are not like the police or firemand exactly. I am 32 and watch nurses that are 67 still working the floor because honestly they CANT retire. Their pay didn't shoot up every year and I watch nurse be forced to retire from hospitals only to en...

Can you change your status to casual at the hospital to work less shifts sooner? If not either way. You first * take care of you first!

You may feel very satisfied doing a higher lever of care. But detox is mentally and spiritually draining on its own. But perhaps CSS or a higher level of care elsewhere and I really suggest per diem or at most part time if you ever go back to detox....

This. Do they give a notice when they fire people? No. You will be fine. As far as references I'm sure you have three friends you can think of. And lastly next interview if they are bothered by you quitting with no ppe they are not the right pla...

Do not go back. This is an extremely unsafe situation. I work in detox and once worked overnights in a place where I was the only nurse for 32 people at night with lax training and drugs being passed all night by newly hired staff who were high them...

I see older nurses at my job with yearrrrsss of experience that always say " whose gonna hire an old lady?" Ageism unfortunately is real and is probably very discouraging but is it there so know you will deal with it unfair or not.

Honestly i think it may depend on where you live. My mom is a nurse practitioner after working her way up from lpn. In MA everyone is in school. Its very competitive whereas my aunt in north Carolina is a bsn and i feel like the cost of schooling and...

You worked hard for that license dont jeopardize it because you want to start your career. Surely other place you apply to after will know that facility and its reputation. Youll have to learn the right way all over again. Be patient and listen to yo...

I am currently pregnant with my first and my last and before i said i would never have children so i completely understand people that are childless by choice. People will judge you matter what and find a way to belittle you. That man was rude. I do ...
