Seeing Myself Out

I disliked circulating and preferred to scrub. Unfortunately that made me dislike my OR residency that was only preparing us to circulate and ultimately that and discrimination from a few powerful people resulted me being let go from the OR and the e...

OP, I'm rooting for you. I was a successful nurse for most part working in psych before getting into an OR residency. I probably have ADHD but was never diagnosed, and my residency instructor/preceptor for most of the bad days I worked was likely to ...

Hope things work out for you. If you ride it out I doubt your preceptor will be working on the same unit and on the same shifts all the time, and having different patient loads would keep you out of each other's hair most of the time unless she is of...

Just got accepted into an OR residency. PM me if you want to know more

Tell them you are disinterested in continuing working in psychiatry and would like to change specialties that interest you more personally.

I hope you were joking.

Sorry to hear that. Not everyone fits into the specialty they were hired into right after nursing school, myself included. I think it's completely ok to dislike some nursing specialties and work towards a change. Where are you located? I'm begging t...

What were you asking the nurses to do?

Pulled IV tubing out of the bag of fluids that was still half full.

If I'm a former paramedic I would be a much better nurse today especially dealing with emergencies. Whoever that judges you for being a paramedic is an idiot.

Add security and secretary onto the list too...

did the nap...I mean Niacin smell good in the morning?

Have a phone interview tomorrow. Really anxious.

While some hospitals are better than others, I don't think there will be a place where I like everything. If I am having a good time I probably won't get paid for it.

I don't think I would carry a firearm if my job duties require me to be within the patients' reach and risk any altered or aggressive patients taking it from me and shooting me and others. I'm not a touchy person in everyday life and avoid situations...

I work for an employer that would rather be super short staffed than hiring less than perfect nurses that fit in perfectly into customized molds that have vested administrators and board members; names on them. But that seems to be the case in Califo...

I just put in 2 applications for OR residencies and I'm not counting on it. I have been working in psych for several years and most "real nurses" think I'm too dumb and too clumsy to get trained for anything else. No matter how many rejections I get ...

I'm tired of psych and want try to get into an OR program too. If not I am going to work on completely getting out of nursing.

I live in one of the only few areas in this country where the norm is 8 hour shifts. Spending the same time and money commuting just to get less hours. but I guess it's ok because there are thousands of other nurses doing it.

Been disliking nursing since graduating too.

Male, 265 questions, but passed instead of failing as my instructor predicted because she said it's always the men failing though.

I am unhappy working in psych and probably will go NP if I can't get hired for anything else lol.

My program required at least a 75% cumulative in every course to pass the program. I didn't do many assignments and a good number of my classmates completed bombed individual quizzes, but everyone scored high enough to pass.

Hope you will be happy going back. I dislike both psych and bedside just from nursing school and watching others. But now I work outpatient psych part time, so I just make enough money to pay bills and be left alone to enjoy my life for most of the w...

I work at a clinic. It was a referral from my staffing agency after I completed numerous contracts with them. It's surely repetitive but I don't encounter as many unstable patients compared to an inpatient setting and have more downtime and flexibili...
