  1. How do you decompress?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to BarrelOfMonkeys's topic in General Nursing

    A tension pneumo? I would go for the second intercostal space along the midclavicular

  2. Advice for changing specialties

    Seeing Myself Out replied to 40isthenew30's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you have extensive experience that's relevant to almost every hospital specialty. You will do great and anywhere is lucky to have

  3. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    Yet there is nothing I can do about the concerns of potential employers. By simply trying to leave psych and apply for other specialties, it is already a red flag that they picture me doing the same...

  4. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I offended many people who work in psych or look up to it. I have no resentment against the specialty itself but I am unsatisfied that having worked in psych is preventing me from given a...

  5. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    Within nursing I always hoped to end up working in ER, ICU, or possibly OR. But it's not likely to happen living in a high paying part of California where nurses from out of state are moving in and...

  6. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding, to the general population the only acceptable career changes from nursing are MD or NP. If we try to get our feet wet in anything else we are automatically labelled as

  7. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    One of the nurse managers I had came from dialysis and eventually went back to it. It sounds interesting to me yet I am concerned that it has no experience that is seen as applicable to other...

  8. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    Got bills to pay and I applied to a fair share of non-nursing jobs to take a break or gain experience towards my non-nursing interests but couldn't get hired because they think I should stick with...

  9. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    You're entitled to your own opinion. Fair

  10. Taking travel job, hoping for perm offer. Too risky?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to jlambirt's topic in Travel

    Just remember if they are offering a permanent job to almost anyone traveling/working as registry there, there must be some kind of catch. Get to know a few people who have worked worked there for a...

  11. Tell me about your orientation

    Seeing Myself Out replied to JennyPARN's topic in Psychiatric

    Is your hospital one of the Aurora Behavioral Health hospitals by any chance? I was a traveler at one and had one day of redundant classroom instruction with new hires but had 2 shifts of orientation...

  12. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    I work part time so I am not married to my job and I have plenty of time to explore my non-nursing options/interests and make a career out of one of them

  13. Am I the *******?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying that because I'm labelled as a psych nurse or because I am a crappy friend? Either way I am impressed with your ability to diagnose mental illness on a forum. You will do great starting...

  14. Seeking Advice

    Seeing Myself Out replied to lcc010's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any coworkers that witnessed you taking temperatures at anytime you have been working there? It's definitely a law suit if they truly accused you of falsifying documentation when you...

  15. The Time of My Life

    Seeing Myself Out replied to malenurseNTX2019's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dont give up. In my nursing program most of the predecessors who failed the NCLEX on their first go happened to be male, and one of the instructors that I respect as a person and eventually a friend...

  16. RN switching specialties....indecisive, unmotivated?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Offthehandle's topic in General Nursing

    Im sorry about your situation. I am in a similar boat but with psych as my specialty right after nursing school. At an interview for an OR new grad job I was asked "what's wrong with psych" and...

  17. Notice of resignation

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Shyloe's topic in General Nursing

    Unlikely but possible. I believe if your wife explains her situation before the schedule for the month is finalized the nurse manager should understand as long as there is a two week notice at the...

  18. Resignition Timeline?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a traveler agency and I have been working per diem for them since Jan of 2018. I just got offered a permanent part time job and Im not sure how long I should continue working for the agency...

  19. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is probably why the nursing profession is pushing for everyone to be very specialized and a year or two into almost all specialty means getting pigeonholed. When I went into nursing people talk...

  20. Responding to psych patient requests/comments

    Seeing Myself Out replied to elizabethgrad09's topic in Psychiatric

    I always tell the patients that they should take care of themselves before others including their family, friends, and

  21. New grad psych

    Seeing Myself Out replied to ashkay's topic in Psychiatric

    Depends on the job market of the area you live you may not be able to switch from psych once you have worked in psych for a while. I live in California and I have been trying to get a med surg job for...

  22. How long did it take you to find out your dream specialty?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to hp131071's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing in particular. Really tired of micromanagement and difficult coworkers but that can happen anywhere within and outside of nursing. Just really dislike how working in psych keeps me from doing...

  23. New nurse getting dumped on. Ready to switch.

    Seeing Myself Out replied to NewNurse1997's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain, and I am sorry you are having a such hard time. At the same you should be proud that you're trusted to take care of patients that sick. As a psych nurse I can't even get into non...

  24. Never let a recruiter tell you can't get into the ICU Speciality

    Seeing Myself Out replied to WindycityICURN's topic in General Specialties

    Haha, I couldn't even get into

  25. How long did it take you to find out your dream specialty?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to hp131071's topic in General Nursing

    Still haven't after 6 years. Stuck in psych with nothing else that will take me including new grad programs. No longer working as a nurse full time or seeing nursing as my career. I want out
