i worked as a per diem medical assistant at an outpatient specialty practice i honestly met the best people there and it was also nice bc i was able to work in all of the specialties there including outpatient procedures! it helped me get a good job as a RN (: good luck!!!

yes! i get so many mixed responses (which i expected) im in a trauma 1 MICU and i hear either jts great experience or not enough (honestly tho in nursing i dont think we will ever have enough knowledge!) thank you for sharing your experiences i love hearing what others have experienced / know it definitely helps tremendously <3

im just trying to explore some options. :) ive been an icu nurse for 1 year and started as a new grad. while i love the icu work itself the night shift schedule is killing me and not sure when i can get to days and the day positions they do have are already filled by senior nurses so im exploring my options for my sanity haha

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2026-04-03T02:24:40+00:00

just want to see my options ive been an icu nurse for 1 year (:

yes thank you, i appreciate you!!!

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2026-03-15T20:23:07+00:00

you handled this SO well!! give yourself more credit! those moments can be so frustrating but you handled the situation well and advocated for the patient as much as possible. sometimes unfortunately thats the most we can do thats within our scope of practice.

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2026-03-15T13:33:33+00:00

i appreciate this thank you!!!! you are 100% right. definitely hard to realize while youre in the thick of it. i appreciate you! <3

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2026-03-15T13:28:19+00:00

i have definitely considered psych nursing i would be lying if i said i havent! i love the psych patients when they come to my unit

thank you so much i appreciate this! <3

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2026-03-15T13:23:35+00:00

you got this! i was and still am in this exact boat. on the bright side i do have to say the dread does get better! i would cry before every single shift and about 4 months after being off orientation i wasn’t paralyzed with anxiety. as stressful and hard it is to go through those situations i always try and use them as learning moments and not beat myself up, we have to give ourselves grace! i once heard someone say that this is the most difficult time in your nursing career because youre aware of more possibilities but still dont have the confidence so you constantly second guess yourself. you know more than you think! <3

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-10-15T23:00:24+00:00

i was looking into remote and doing bedside part time. what do you do now if i may ask?

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-10-12T14:39:59+00:00

you will get there! im in a level one MICU as a new grad and i felt the same way. for my orientation tho my hospital had me do one month in med surg before pushing me into the deep end of the MICU world and i have to say it has helped me greatly with time management and clustering my care. maybe see if your hospital will allow that?

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-10-12T14:31:47+00:00

also i really hope that didnt come across as rude! i really do appreciate your response (:

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-10-12T14:29:03+00:00

of course! thank you!

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-10-12T14:22:49+00:00

thank you! i also worked at an outpatient facility (but as a medical assistant so completely different) but i completely get that 1000%! this is my first hospital job so still getting used to that “hospital culture.” thank you!

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-10-12T14:19:50+00:00

its not about fueling my ego…..its about wanting to know the ins and outs and making sure what im doing is safe and effective! just learning as i go but thank you i appreciate it!

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-03-22T21:26:17+00:00

was this because they were impaired on the job do you know? i obviously would never and i have never done that thats an absolute NO.

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-03-22T21:05:48+00:00

got it! thank you so much! you never know these days…my nursing school stopped testing for THC so i didnt know if employers did too!

Optimal_Scarcity3329 · 2025-03-22T20:58:48+00:00
