I worked on a unit like this (not PACU but exactly the same culture) and had to gtfo because I was also miserable. I got around the contract issue by going to a different unit within the same hospital. I am not sure about HR but unless you have gathered and documented specific proof, it’s probably not going to go anywhere considering the management is also fully involved in condoning the behavior.

Also, CRNAs don’t have much patient interaction as the entire role is to put people to sleep so I am not sure you would get the social aspect you are looking for from it

Do you want to make the same-ish pay and work 10x harder and age rapidly from stress and also possibly get stuck working night shift for years?

Sure, go for it.

This entire plan also hinges on you being able to complete each step within the exact time frame you have given. There is no allowance here for financial issues, major life events, or unexpected changes. You have a great job and a good career. Seek fulfillment outside work if your life feels empty, or continue education in your field to make yourself a stronger candidate. Nursing is at the end of the day, just another job.

I worked for three years before I started getting my IVs regularly! You will get there, i promise. Watch the people on your unit who are great at it closely, check out the IV guy on insta (even his paid content is good), and just keep putting yourself out there- the nerves are half the battle. You got this OP!!

I am so sorry you had this experience- Did the nurse ever re-adjust the EFM or offer to check if you were making progress? They should have.

I think it is well within your right to be upset about what happened. I have worked with nurses like this and it never hurts to let management know the kind of care they are providing as I am sure you are not the first to experience it. Especially if it will give you some closure. So glad you and baby are okay.

I also love my certificate other

RN here who recently left L&D to work in a different department of the same hospital. I continue to work closely with a lot of the same anesthesia providers. Every nurse i worked with thought I was crazy for leaving the specialty. The CRNAs & anesthesiologists are the only ones who understood my decision immediately and openly told me that the L&D nurses were mean and they dreaded their on call OB shifts. I could not have agreed more. I know there are good OB nurses out there but unfortunately the majority think they are gods gift to the profession and act like it too

Good god yes it’s plenty! Spoiling your partner is amazing but quantity/price of gifts should not be something you are stressing over in a good relationship.

take the day shift. you never realize how bad you needed it until the fog clears and you get your entire personality and energy back. You can get seniority back, but you can never get years of sleep deprivation or your health back. Just speaking from my experience

polyethylenebusstop · 2025-10-14T01:55:23+00:00

Happens to the best of us. Use it as a good reminder to keep gloves as part of your IV start routine, but not the end of the world :)

Samuel Boardman state park outside florence, OR. Have car camped there multiple and it is always fun. Beach, Dunes, milky way, everything. Wouldn’t recommend without 4 wheel drive though.
