Are there still LPNs looking for work? Or did anyone find places? I know of a place hiring LPNs for some non clinical work.

It is not a bad thing to mention that you like the schedule either. Remember their are also plenty of nurses that DO NOT want five day a week jobs. Also, if you are like me, I felt that I did not have time to effectively manage care for a patient i...

I never got another PM from you....did you find somewhere? I don't know if my PM went through or not....but try AOPD (www.atlantaoutpatientpd.com), AOSC (www.atlantaoutpatient.com), Meridian Mark (don't know website) and Thomas Eye (www.thomaseye.com...

Well, in my area I found it to be higher than hospitals and dr. offices. Most nurses get very generous pay, and you DEFINITELY have time to sit down, eat lunch, and use the bathroom. Plus, getting holidays and weekends off is HUGE! I know some plac...

Sorry I can't help you . I know lots of places looking for RNs (even newly licensed) but not that many for LPNs. Have you tried recruiters and not agencies. Have you tried websites like metroatlantajobs.com or ajcjobs.com ? Also, try applying di...

I also think you should go for it. As a young nurse (your same age) who IS in management, I will say that there will be challenges. I worked for three years in an ASC during, and shortly after getting my degree. I too have started classes for my M...

Seriously consider something outside of the hospital. I currently work in an ambulatory surgery center and LOVE it. I like the fact that I see a patient through from beginning to end-and when they walk out they are happy and healthy. Also, if you...

it was like this at the first hospital i worked in. new grad pay increased more each year to stay competitive with the other local hospitals and cost of living increases. however, each nurse (with experience there) usually got about a 3% raise each...

Find an area that you love...I did the hospital thing for six months(and it was not that bad)...then found day surgery to be where I need to stay. The hours are great, (four days 9s-10s) off every weekend for three days, no holidays, or nights, chall...

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS FOREVER!! I HATED hospital nursing mainly because it wreaked havoc on my new marriage with the crazy schedules and stress. So, after six months I started looking. I found this awesome day surgery position and am loving life...

You should PM me-I can help you if you like. I know some places you might want to check out.

I am the charge nurse in an ambulatory surgery center, and we just hired a nurse for the pre-op area (she is NOT a new grad). She came from ER and ICU and I thought she would be fabulous. Her skills are okay, but she REALLY lacks confidence. She is t...

I knew it was time to move on when management changed and increased our holidays, increased our weekend requirements...and I found out I could work day surgery four tens mon-thurs no weekends or holidays!! HA HA I said goodbye and fast. I did not lik...

..

ASC means Ambulatory Sugery Center...it is basically day surgery. There are many of these places out there and sometimes they are affiliated with hospitals....sometimes they are free standing and associated more with physicians offices. What I like i...

I CAN"T SAY THIS ENOUGH....LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB!!!! I too was just not happy doing hospital nursing, and most of it was due to the politics. I did not want to be this person that griped and complained all the time....UGH!! So, I looked and found......

I quit my first nursing job after seven months for reasons stated above. Always working my butt off and stressed out, seeing little of my husband (and we just got married). So I switched to day surgery...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT...and am not stressed ...

Check out Children's Healthcare of Atlanta...I know the floor I am leaving REALLY REALLY needs weekend option nurses! www.choa.org

There were six of us that started within a couple of months of each other....of those 2 are still there full time (not including me---I went PRN). One girl left during orientation (and wants to change to teaching), I left (and took one with me) to do...

I just left a job for that reason. At the beginning it sounded good, because i tend to like nights better and my husband (we have no children) prefers me on days because then he gets to see more of me....so it seemed like the best of both worlds........

Well....I don't know what to say except...RUN! I now work in an ASC and just learned to circulate and it seems that every day there is a "fire" that i have to put out, but it ends up not being that big of a deal and my job is incredibly NOT stressful...

But.......I just HAVE to say a few things! First of all I only graduated last May and clearly remember what it is like to be in nursing school, also I am not saying by ANY means that I was the "perfect" nursing student. HOWEVER, we have some student...

First of all most of the people that are complaining about the job have valid points....nursing is NOT easy work! However there are so many rewards AND so many different areas that you can go into. For example, I knew hospital nursing was NOT for me,...

I am currently working in an ASC doing pre-op and PACU....they are looking to train me as a circulator....my question is do I want this job? I would ask our full time circulator how she likes it but she literally left in the middle of cases today wit...

ALWAYS let them help....or give them a "job". Sometimes (if I am starting a line or something else that hurts) I give them the "job" of holding their arm, hand etc still. I tell them they can't hurt me, but they can yell or whatever else. The majorit...
