WILTW 10/8: Flexed to Tenacity

[quiltynurse56, LPN, LVN]

I have not worked for 4 weeks and am itching to get back I work per diem which makes taking that much time off easy. I have been traveling. An home now and signed a 4 week contract today. Start on Friday..

I'm in week 3 of nursing school and I learned that clinicals are FUN! (so far, at least)

I guess since I'm in school I should have a much longer list of what I've learned this week, but nothing stands out.

I enjoyed clinicals, for the most part also. A few I didn't enjoy. And honestly, the first few months of nursing school were so overwhelming that I couldn't pinpoint exactly what I learned. I know I learned a lot, but trying to explain, not so easy.

So long as you know you are learning you're good

That a patient can have a Hgb of 6 with a recent surgical site that is constantly oozing blood, and none of the 3 physicians "managing" his care want to address it. That had me at my wits end. Thankfully the RESIDENT decided a transfusion was needed.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I REALLY dislike my current employer and am ready to take just about any other job to get out. I seriously considered doing the waitress thing until I am done with school this summer, but I am terrified I won't make enough to keep food on the table. I do have a few job interviews lined up, so I guess we shall see.

Positive vibes for your interview!!! I hope you find the right fit and peace of mind with the next employer.

I too am looking around (for a new job). I am tired of all these changes. Now the new manager is trying to get rid of midshift. If my midshift goes, I go.

Well I wish you luck with your current employer. Job shopping is not fun. Making time for interviews in my crazy schedule really stinks because it means interrupting my sleep, which I already don't get nearly enough of.

Hi everyone. I've been MIA partly due to the loss of the app. More to do with me working now.

Is this the current thread? If not can someone link me to it?
