  1. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Really its the way to go as an NP. I hear many nurses that work for someone complain about how they aren't making much or are making similar to what they made as a floor

  2. Is nursing for me?!

    Workitinurfava replied to Krissy86's topic in General Nursing

    Dialysis is all day every day standing for 12-15 hours. It requires bending too. The machines are always beeping so you have to get up and check them. I tried it, I had to be at work at 4am with the...

  3. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I posted about nurses needing more clinical skills but this is what I meant. It should be like how it used to be a long time

  4. What now?

    Workitinurfava replied to Crookshanks24's topic in General Nursing

    Pay your bills, let that be your mindset. You will be more stressed not having money unless you don't have to worry about that and I don't mean relying on someone who can't really help you. I am...

  5. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I had an NP ask me how to fix an order so that it would work for the patient. I literally told her how to do it. She was clueless. I knew based on paying attention to the the changes in doctors order...

  6. I am not good at nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Lostinorlando's topic in General Nursing

    So what you are saying is you are not perfect, and I am so shocked because you are not suppose to ever make a mistake. Are you happy now? I am kidding. If I knew now what I knew back when I started...

  7. I'm having a hard time finding an RN Job

    Workitinurfava replied to nurse0000's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to re-word it to, I can't find a job that won't be free of mental and physical stress. I have worked rehab/LTC, med-surg, psych and nursing homes. I had 30 patients in the LTC/Rehab...

  8. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gardening and yard work because I get to pull weeds, roots, trim dead leaves and start over new. Later I can see the progress of what I have

  14. Unsafe Environment for Graduate Nurse?

    Workitinurfava replied to KMcRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Just to add in, med surg is a beast. You can't send you patients up after so many hours, you have them all day. You seem to have the experience and if the patients aren't all as high level, try to...

  15. Unsafe Environment for Graduate Nurse?

    Workitinurfava replied to KMcRN19's topic in General Nursing

    She does have a point especially about shadowing the next place but the problem with shadowing is you won't see all of the things you will face. It's not until you start working that you see the more...

    Workitinurfava replied to KMcRN19's topic in General Nursing

    They sure are and even using the physician's DEA number is doing the

  17. I don't know if I want to be a nurse anymore :/

    Workitinurfava replied to confusednurse10's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The nursing field is like the shopping mall and the stores are the specialties. There are many stores in the mall, some you will like and some you won't. Have you ever looked outside of a store and...

  18. Quitting during probation/orientation

    Workitinurfava replied to musiklover7000's topic in General Nursing

    I felt this way about medsurg .positions. I tried clinics etc. I am back to mental health. When people tell me they work medsurg, ED or I C U, I'm like great for you. The older I get the less I...

  19. Concerned

    Workitinurfava replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting thing is a nurse can do all of the techs duties and no one would have an issue with it but a tech can't do all of the nurses duties. However I know of an incident to where the tech was...

  22. I hate being a nurse

    Workitinurfava replied to Kmc12's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you can survive you may be happy later on that you took the position, because it can help you get a better position or the one you want. Very few nursing positions are a bed of roses, minus the...

  23. Feeling like I'm not making a difference

    Workitinurfava replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    Do yourself a favor and stop job hopping. If you keep this up, you will regret it and look back at places that you could have stayed at. You are going through some changes and with the wife and baby,...

  24. What might be going on?

    Workitinurfava replied to Bagatha's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sounds sketchy, start looking at other jobs just in-case. I am not trying to make you worry but I hope they aren't looking for an excuse to fire you because they want to bring someone in at a cheaper...

  25. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    They do make it real easy on us by having a task list. All we have to do is follow what is on the list. Everything will drop off the task list if we did things correctly, or so we hope lol. I just...
