Does anyone know anything about the dress code at brigham? Is it very conservative? The hospital I work at is very relaxed. We can wear our nose piercings and most of us have visible tattoos.

Leaving the field, for lots of different reasons. But I'm trying to figure out the most tasteful way to go about leaving. I am loathing the idea of being open about it because I don't want to have the conversation about why 1000 times a day, and I don't want people to transfer onto me their doubts (however unintentional that transfer may be) when I explain my various back up plans. Would it be terribly offensive if I only told a select few of my coworkers? Or none? My second question is how long should I give them? In other fields we say two weeks. But nursing is not like other fields as we all know, and I'm an ICU RN. We have contracts with travelers as well as per diems (although it's like pulling teeth to get our upper management to approve them to work). We're not terribly short staffed as we recently "over hired". Thoughts anyone on how to do this gracioulsy while protecting my privacy and peace of mind?

Hi all!! I'm new to nursing and have worked in my hospital for two years. There is a position on another shift available, but they are saying they won't allow me to go to the position because then my shift will be short. Well, duh, it will be short? Is this really my problem? It just doesn't seem fair. But is this really how it goes? Advice?
