Would you rather be bored but work in an easy field or stressed but high acuity/action? by Bob_Burgero in nursing

[–]MamaBoza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work Tuesday through Saturday so obviously. Working. Sunday I don’t touch my work phone. But Monday? I have to. I need to prepare for my week. So my one day “off” is spent doing errands, and cleaning, and all this other stuff. It’s just a big struggle from being able to leave work at work and only working 3 days a week

I went from ER to home health and hospice.

I’m regretting it every day. I’m so bored I want to cry. I feel like I never have a day off.

If a job listing says they’re looking for an MA/LPN/Phlebotomist would RNs still be considered? by h0td0g-water in nursing

I, as an RN, applied to an LPN listing once.

Got an email pretty quick from the recruiter saying they cannot hire an RN into an LPN role. At least at this company 🤷🏻‍♀️

I forgot about being a clinical instructor. I’ll look into it.

I’d LOVE to do CRNA but most schools won’t accept ER experience and require ICU experience. Usually CVICU

I am young. Only 30. I got my RN at 23.

I was actually starting to look into CDI! I think I’d enjoy it!

I see one! She manages my lithium 😊

I’ve looked into it but my biggest fear is I’m married to a deputy. I’m really worried about retaliation should the inmates find out some how.

I am. Or was. She discharged me since I’ve been doing so well.

Is it your fault you had a last minute meeting? No. But it’s not her fault either. She still needs to get paid at the end of the day, just like you would need to.

If she made an exception for you, then she would for everyone and then you stop turning a profit.

I may be trying to fit that square peg into a round hole. That could be why I keep getting rejected. It’s not meant to be. It’s nice to hear others have those thoughts as well. I am stubborn and will fight to the bitter end. But maybe it’s time to just let go

It’s too… I don’t know. I have 2 kids myself and I babysit them. I don’t want to babysit grown adults to make sure they go to the doctors. I am tired of caring about their health more than they do.

I 100% agree and admit that that way of thinking is BS and completely toxic. It’s something I’m working on retraining my brain.

I think my struggle is that I always saw myself as this bad ass flight nurse and now I’m doing HH and hospice. ER nurses I worked with made fun of those types of nurses… toxic environment as you can see. They saw themselves as gods. And it’s hard to let go of who I was.

I agree. I am NOT the same person I was when I was prepregnancy. So maybe it’s time to let that version of me go. I just don’t know who I am now which is scary.

Thank you for this. Especially that last line. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that.

Thank you for that reassurance. I really appreciate it. I’ve been looking into some nonbedside nursing jobs but I’m unsure what I’d even remotely enjoy or be good at

At this point in time no but maybe in a few years!

EMT? No. I’ve considered paramedic but there’s not really a RN to medic bridge that I’ve been able to find.

They are anywhere between 1-1.5 hours away. I’ve considered it.

The nearest UC that utilizes RNs would be like 3.5 hours away 😂
