Did you ever receive feedback from anyone else that works at CVS/coram? Did you end up taking the position? Thanks.

Did you ever find a work from home job? I recently started a WFH position. It’s definitely different I work M-F 7-3:30 but my schedule will change once I’m done training. Pros not having to experience the pre shift anxiety while working in the hospital. Being at home and getting to do your job and clock out without feeling like did I forget to chart x, y and z? I guess it depends on the individual. I am enjoying it while I can. These jobs are hard to come by.

Oh wow! It sounds very similar to my new wfh position for a major insurance company. thank you! Yes I’m sure it’s not stress free but working a 12 hour shift literally had me physically and mentally exhausted! Also the fact that I won’t have anxiety as to whether or not one of my two very sick patients will code during my shift. I did enjoy all my experiences but working ICU during covid literally was a lot for me. I’m excited for this new journey in my nursing career. I appreciate your insight! ?

These are excellent points and definitely need to be considered for this type of job. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad it worked out for you. I am definitely giving this job a shot. It’s true hospitals are always hiring and I a solid few years of ICU under my belt. I do agree with you with 4 days off depending on how badly the 3 12s kicked my rear I’d be sleeping or too grouchy to do anything. It’s nice not working weekends, holidays and late nights. What is your position now if you don’t mind me asking?

My children are school age and I have relatives that watch them when I worked my 12hr bedside shifts if my husband was working too. That is not an issue it’s just more of actually enjoying the job and different schedule. Thanks for your insight.

I have been in an ICU nurse for a few years now and got offered a similar position to yours. Did you end up taking the wfh job? If so how are you liking it? thanks

How did you end up adjusting to 5 days a week? Did you end up liking this job? ?

My children are young and both go to school so that’s not an issue. Main concern is going from bedside 3-12 hour shifts, to M-F non bedside job.

Thank you! I needed to read that.

Need some insight from other nurses that work from home as a nurse or work a non-bedside job. I got offered a WFH position however it comes with a pay cut. I’ve worked in a busy ICU the last 2.5 years and COVID really burnt me out as a nurse. I do want low stress, and work from home sounds very appealing just not sure if it’s the right move as it is also a Monday-Friday job no nights weekends and paid holidays (office closed) I have small children and want to enjoy them and the pay cut isn’t really a problem. Would this be career suicide? Thanks

Hi, my background is in critical care for close to 2 years now. Anyone leave the hospital setting as a bedside RN to urgent care setting? I have been offered a clinical manager position at the urgent care and wondering if there are any other nurses who left the bedside to start a new role such a the one listed above? Thanks

I’m a relatively newer nurse. I just reached my one year mark as an ICU nurse. I do feel burnt out and something very personal happened that really motivated to look elsewhere. I feel I needed a change for my wellbeing. I got offered an RN position in an outpatient surgery center primarily vascular procedures. It’s a salaried position, 4- 10 hour shifts no weekends, no call and they close for most major holidays. Anyone here work a similar schedule or come from a similar background? Change can be good but also very nervewracking. Some insight would be helpful. I’m a little iffy with a salaried job I’ve always been hourly. 

Is it a hipaa violation for a nurse to be talking about a patient (that wasn’t assigned to them) that has been discharged over a month ago? Without giving too much info here’s a little backstory.... patient came in for x diagnosis over a month ago.. the patients relative which we didn’t know at the time got hired onto our unit. I was told from another nurse (not sure how she even knows this info) “did you know so and so is going to be working with us?... the relative (she gave the name) was here for *insert diagnosis* turns out the new hire found out that the nurse had informed everyone that x patient (which is the relative) was in here for x diagnosis. can the nurse who started bringing up the new hires relative get in trouble? Sorry for any confusion just don’t want to insert too much info but get some insight.

A new grad program started in June 2019 and I could have been a part of it and thought my director would vouch for me but I think it’s because they’re short nursing assistants but quite honestly I’m over it I didn’t complete nursing school and pass nclex to stilllll be a CNA. I see all these other folks I’ve gone to school with get their RN positions. Thanks for your advice. I gave my notice to HR.
