  2. Float Med Surg/Tele RN looking to Switch to ER

    Gooseontheloose replied to Wrestler133's topic in Emergency

    Hey there. I'm totally in the same boat as you! I'm also a float/tele RN and am desperate for a change. I think if you have the desire to try something new, then go for it. I don't know about where...

  3. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    Gooseontheloose replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I say YES to safe staffing. You can't trust hospitals to leave it up to "what works best for them" when it comes to staffing. It's always going to come down to $$ for them and not patient safety and...

  6. ER to Floor...hating it

    Gooseontheloose replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Emergency

    I’d say go for the transfer anyway. I get what you’re saying about your boss and that you just committed, but you have to take care of you first. Floor nursing is great, but it’s never going to...

  8. Float Pool RN looking to transition to ED

    Gooseontheloose posted a topic in Emergency

    Gooseontheloose replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students
