  1. Should I switch jobs?

    newnurse085 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've been working on a busy mother baby floor for almost 3 months, full time night shift. Mother baby was all I ever wanted during nursing school. I finally got it, and I am conflicted. My body...

  2. Too soon to ask about going part time or to day shift?

    newnurse085 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am a month into my orientation on a mother baby unit. I absolutely love this unit and the job and want to stay here. However, I am working full time nights and have three kids under the age of 5. I...

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for your input. I'd say that I'm definitely not a dissatisfied employee, and the issue is not related to reliable childcare as I have a live in nanny. That being said, I am planning on waiting...

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  5. Too soon to ask about going part time or to day shift?

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Trust me, this is not me. I knew what I was getting into. I'm not sure how many more times i can say that I'm willing to work nights as long as I have to. I know that I have to pay my dues. Which is...

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow that's kind of rude. I have never tried night shift and am just having a problem sleeping during the day which I didn't anticipate. Anyway thanks to you all who posted honest and helpful advice!...

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well I'm definitely glad I got some input on this! I am going to wait to ask about getting on the list for day shift until I'm at least done with orientation and working successfully on my own for a...

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I get what you're saying and like I said above, I'm sticking with the job no matter what and have no intentions of leaving. I accepted it because women's health is all I want to do and being a...

  9. Too soon to ask about going part time or to day shift?

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That is a good point. I would definitely stay regardless. There are two people on the waiting list right now so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to get on there, but certainly don't want to do...

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started nursing school when my son was one, and attended an evening and weekend program so that I could stay home with him. We had class one night a week and clinicals on the weekends. I got...

  14. Best route to get into mother/baby

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for your reply. I will be training with the midwives (all certified with their doctorates), who will show me everything I need to know to assist them properly. I will never be alone with the...

  15. Help me decide please!

    newnurse085 replied to newnurse085's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the advice! You are right...I will definitely be showing by the time I interview for the September internship, if it comes to that. I agree that honesty is the best policy, but I have...
