I just finished my orientation on a mixed PCU/ICU unit and I'm not sure I'm loving it there enough to stay. I left a med surg unit I had been on for about 8 months for this new job. The med surg unit I was on was certainly busy and had its issues with staffing occasionally (as many med surg units do). However, my coworkers there were wonderful, I worked day shift, and although I was busy I felt competent and confident in my work. I even started precepting new grads which scratched this teaching itch I've had for a while too. My manager was very complimentary of me, saying I had what it would take to be a charge nurse and even replace her someday. On this new unit, I work nights (for the first time) which has flipped my life upside down, it makes me feel like a ghost of a person and I wish so bad I could work day shift. I've oriented to day shift at my new job and I don't know if I'd even want to do that based on how busy the workload is for the ICU patients. Plus most shifts I'd get a

I plan on applying to jobs as soon as I pass my NCLEX.. I graduated 7 yrs ago & was recommended to take a refresher course which I will look into. Despite that, I’ve heard that people still have a difficult time landing their first gig. I’m pretty much a nomad so wouldn’t mind looking outside of my state since it’s a busy city. I don’t feel like travel nursing would be a good place to start if I’d even be applicable, knowing I need to regain my clinical knowledge. I have friends/ family in CA, CO, UT & FL so I’d consider those states first. I also have friends / family in CT & NY but I don’t know if I can handle winters there anymore. Any recommendations on states that seem to hire nurses easily without people on the inside ? submitted by /u/NervousRhubarb5772 [link] [comments]
My nursing career so far hasn’t been super consistent in one area. I started out on a step-down unit on nights for 6 months but didn’t do well at this job and realized critical care was NOT for me. I went to a med-surg oncology floor on nights for 7 months and liked that way better, but struggled a lot with nights and with a long commute. I then worked in an outpatient gyn onc clinic for about a year and a half. This job was a lot of phone triage and not seeing patients in person very much. I LOVE this specialty, but I eventually started to miss bedside and felt like I left prematurely. I moved to an inpatient oncology job on days and have been working there for the past 6 months. I really like this job but feel like a new nurse in some ways and it’s making me feel frustrated. I’m re-learning a lot of skills that I didn’t do very much before (i.e. CBI management, pleurx drain care, etc.). I feel dumb talking to the doctors. Recently, I had a patient who was showing signs of delirium so
I work in a nursing home, and I'm watching our residents suffer because we're constantly short-staffed. When staff don't show up, everyone feels it—but our residents feel it most. Their care gets rushed. Their needs get delayed. That's not okay. I started a petition demanding that U.S. nursing homes be required to maintain safe staffing ratios. When there aren't enough hands on deck, people slip through the cracks. We need concrete rules that guarantee residents get proper attention and that workers don't burn out trying to do the impossible. If you've had a loved one in a nursing home, or if you've ever wondered whether your parent or grandparent is getting the care they deserve—please consider signing and sharing this.

I’m an Lpn that applied to a position at a convent. The job description is a “wellness nurse” that works in a small clinic at the convent and addresses concerns the nuns have as well as assisting with their medical needs. Has anyone ever worked in a place like this? What can I expect? I’m guessing some of the sisters will be quite elderly.

I am a nurse going on 6 years. Last year I got caught in some political shit when my hospital was sold and I was not offered a position. It shocked me to my core. Beyond the sucky management I loved my coworkers, my commute was tolerable and the pay was good. After 7 months and 125 applications I finally landed another job. So much for nursing is recession proof - not so in the Bay Area. Anyway, I now work 93 miles from home. I work a set skeleton schedule. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Friday. I work Friday and Monday of my weekend off so we can’t really leave town (12 hour shift and 1 hour 45 min drive home) I have up until just recently been driving in and home everyday to see my husband and our dogs. Working every Monday is awful. And dont get me started on a 2 day weekend as a nurse who works 12 hour shifts. I’m now under investigation for time and attendance (3ish mins late too many times) and having to make the choice to stay closer to work on days I work so I can b
How are you supposed to safely manage all of this at the same time? I had a patient with a Hgb of 6.2 who needed labs drawn from the port because lab wouldn’t draw them, followed by a blood transfusion who also had to poop (assist of 1 with walker). At the same time, I got two new admissions (already in room waiting for me) and had a patient with schizophrenia with a stroke who was a major fall risk, sitting on the edge of the bed despite being unable to safely walk cause of weakness. On top of that, everyone had medications due. Five total-care patients, no CNA/PCT, no charge nurse, and basically no help. How is one nurse realistically supposed to manage all of that safely? Is this considered fair or even a safe assignment? I am so done. submitted by /u/PeaceBig8152 [link] [comments]

Some of my past managers have been amazing. I miss them every day. But at some of my past jobs I have had managers that genuinely traumatize me enough for me to get TMS and stronger SSRIs. One of them faked a PIP (HR representative for our unit was on medical leave) on mg third week of orientation and I had to go to a meeting with the Chief Nursing Officer to testify against him. He would pull me and my preceptors off the unit for an hour a day and find reasons to write me up. So HR intervened and stopped him from meeting with me alone, and made another nurse the main manager to interact with coworkers Another one didn’t say anything for months then decided to try and fire me and give me everything I did wrong in one note. Half of it was stuff told to her by a single coworker who doesn’t think I fit into the clique. I was able to prove it wrong but it shook me massively Is this normal? Most of my coworkers are decent enough and patient care is fine. submitted by /u/Sensitive_Duck_3909
hi so i just want to go on a bit of a rant and i’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions on the matter for context, im a new grad working night shift on somewhat of a stepdown/medsurg combination unit in the hospital. my first annoyance is that there are a handful of nurses on day shift that are hell bent on doing shift report at the literal bedside. which i totally understand the importance of including the patient in the conversation and allowing them to hear what is being passed on between shifts, i see the benefits of doing report in the patients room, HOWEVER, my shift ends at 0600, and most of the patients are asleep at that time, so i don’t love when specific nurses demand going into the room, turning on a light, and having a whole ass conversation about the patient in front of them at the ripe hour of 6am. it feels inconsiderate? my second gripe is that i have had MULTIPLE instances giving day shift nurses report at the bedside where they notice something that may be ou
God, these people who come to a major medical center for care, get treated for a challenging condition by a host of specialists, and then when medically ready for discharge, dispute EVERY conversation with the team by using fucking Chat GPT make me 🤯 Doc at the bedside summarizing the patient’s condition, going over every part of the treatment plan, step by step, patiently and with verbiage that a non-medical person (the patient) can understand. Patient holds his hand up and states: “OK, but I’m going to do my own research” types into Chat in front of the doc then basically dismisses them 😩 submitted by /u/Queen_Of_The_Dames [link] [comments]
Following my last post about UNC Hospitals announcing a new staffing system where critical staffing shifts could be awarded based on the lowest bid , nurses spoke up and the reaction on social media was strong. UNC Hospitals leadership has now released a statement acknowledging the concerns and apologizing for the original communication. In the statement, leadership clarified that although the platform has a bidding feature, the bidding function will NOT be used at UNC Hospitals. They stated that nurses should not be competing against one another for shifts and that this does not reflect the collaborative culture they want to support. They also said the platform will instead be used to identify staffing needs earlier, provide more transparency around premium shift opportunities, reduce administrative burden, and help ensure adequate staffing for safe patient care. submitted by /u/Strikelight72 [link] [comments]

the above pay scale is Massachusetts general hospital (mgh) i don’t work there but did obtain the scale above I work at: Mount Auburn hospital It falls under the beth Israel lahey umbrellla and I’m writing about it in order to compare it to the best paid hospital in the city I’m perhaps more towards the bottom.. Mount Auburn is in Cambridge MA and they are like this: they do not give the chart with each yr of experience and the pay associated with it. It’s a small community non-union hospital as expected. The pay is not top-tier. I have about 10 years of experience and get just over 60 an hour. I would consider this non-competitive, especially given the benefits are not good. Either an MGH nurse with like three years less experience will make that amount and have way better also only get a yearly 2% raise health insurance is so so tuition reimbursement is 35 per year for holidays.

I can’t believe I’m coming on here to bring this up, but I need more perspective. I’ve been a RN for 2 years in the ED. In those two years the longest stretch I’ve had off was a week and a half which was while I was switching jobs coming closer to home. I work 4-5 12 hours shift 2-3 days and 2 nights. I have unfortunately hit my breaking point- I love my patients I love caring but today I broke down at work and realized I’m not even taking care of myself. I have my wedding and 3 weeks and I was unable to even get vacation for it I had to switch my shifts to work longer stretches instead. I have 4 days off including the day I sleep after nights to rest, get my life together, plan the wedding, do chores, try and see my family and care for my grandparents and friends. Over the past few months the stress of getting everything done and still taking care of myself has been getting much more difficult if not impossible. I’ve lost my identify, I’ve lost my smile, I’ve lost my appetite, I’ve lo
I graduated last year, but I had knee surgery shortly after, so I ended up having about a 9 month break after graduating. My senior practicum was also in a low acuity unit, and I just got a job on an acute medicine unit. I’m only 3 days into orientation, and it feels SO different from any of my clinical experiences. Honestly, I feel absolutely stupid sometimes. I think the 9 month break has made it even harder because I feel like I’ve forgotten so much. I’m scared all the time. Every time there’s a skill I’ve never done before, I instantly panic. I’m so afraid of doing something wrong. I know I’m capable of doing the skills, and I usually can do them, but I constantly feel like I’m missing something or doing something incorrectly. I stop and triple check everything I’m doing because I’m so scared of making a mistake. I just don’t know when everything is going to start coming together and feeling more natural. Right now, I’m honestly dreading every shift, and I’m especially anxious abou
I am not sure what I am looking for.....advice, encouragement, camaraderie, commiseration? I just am over life. I am so blah about absolutely everything. The only thing that is great is my marriage but everything else seems pointless. I am an ICU nurse and I am just exhausted. I have been doing this for 15 years and I just don't have anything left.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this after graduating/reaching a huge life goal. For the past few years, my life was basically nursing school, clinicals, studying, graduating, and then studying for the NCLEX. Literally 3 weeks ago I was stressed out studying for my NCLEX, and now I’ve passed, I’m officially an RN, and I’m about to start my first nursing job. I thought I would feel AMAZING once I finally got here. And I am proud of myself, but instead I’ve been feeling weirdly empty, bored, emotional, and super nostalgic. It feels like my life went from constantly having something I needed to accomplish to suddenly… nothing. 😭 My friends are still in my life, but everyone is busy with work/school/their own lives, so I have a lot of time alone right now. I haven’t started my new job yet either, so I’m basically in this awkward transition period. Lately I keep thinking about old periods of my life and missing them, even periods that I KNOW were stressful when I was actually l
Im a nurse with just over a year of experience going into the ICU, I always felt like the shifts I enjoyed the most were the ones where I had to deal with patients who needed more attention because they weren’t doing well or had significant changes to their status. I enjoyed being able to step out of that task-oriented mindset to deducing whether my patient could be decompensating, so I decided to try for an ICU position and was thankfully accepted. It will be for an ICU covering cardiac patients. As such, I am wondering what I should expect as I transition to a new role? Like, I am wondering how the workflow would be different, whether the learning curve is just as bad as going from new grad nurse to an experienced nurse, etc. I feel like being on med-surg has helped me anticipate interruptions to my workflow and how to budget my time effectively, but I do admit that I lean more towards task completion. I came from a medical floor that didn’t have any particular specialty (e.g., cardi
Not a nurse, but a CNA working towards a nursing degree. I worked a specific type of shift at my hospital a month ago. I will say, I had built a very good reputation for myself across the hospital (700+ bed hospital). The shift that I was working entailed covering breaks for 1:1 sitters, helping floors that were short staffed, basically helping wherever possible. I always offered to help and did way more than was expected of me. I was looking up the patients that I was going to be sitting with throughout my shift and was reported by a nurse that I didn’t even know. She stated I was looking at charts that I had no reason to access, which was not true. I also helped out in the ED by printing stickers for patients, getting the visit number for tele, vitals, finding out diet orders, etc. Since I had been reported, they pulled my Epic access reports and it looked “suspicious” to compliance because I opened charts in multiple different departments. My management explained the role of that sp

Ok, not today's peeve, but last week's peeve. My hospital does not allow RNs to do anything about our patients' toenails. Not file, not clip, doesn't matter if you're wound care, diabetic educator, no toenails. Only providers are allowed to do anything with toenails. I had a patient week before last, whose toenails had grown TWO INCHES (that's five centimetres) beyond the ends of their toes. And of course, this wasn't straight out the end of the toe, they were deformed to the side where they were scraping the other toes. And I wasn't allowed, by hospital policy, to do a damn thing about it. All I could do was notify the provider about the situation, and that hospital policy restricted me from addressing it. And the hospitalists refer the patients to outpatient podiatry, who have a 3 month wait time around here. It's infuriating. submitted by /u/Gwywnnydd [link] [comments]
I work at a major hospital and am transferring units due to a horrible toxic work environment. My coworkers are fake bullies who pretend to be your friend then talk shit behind your back.

I just discovered I’m her current target after she made a post on social media complaining about me.

This job rips. I worked hard to get here and I’m so grateful to be where I am. I get mangled so frequently it’s insane, and my inexperience hangs out and it feels like I’ve ripped my pants in front of every childhood crush I’ve ever had. I’m surrounded be people who I value and admire. They teach me and I try to retain; I do retain; then I lose some in time like condensation on a cold glass of water. Insensible fluid loss. Knowledge and stimulus overload. Yesterday I encountered an instance with a patient where my inexperience felt so glaring that I asked myself “what’s the fuck am I doing here?” In the end, I got through and as far as I know my patient remained stable until transfer to higher level of care. Now I’m putting my scrubs back on. Trying to dust yesterday off my shoulders. Trying to be a clear slate. I’m probably going to get challenged again tonight. I repeat the faint consolation that it couldn’t be harder than last night. A whistle in the dark because I know it’s just a

Like if they dont like how we are, they could take them home and do it themselves? Or they could have to be doing it themselves and wow its kinda cool they dont have to? We empathize with them, they dont seem to empathize with us. That shit gets old.

So as the title says my paycheck was declined For a little backstory, I had initially attempted to start per diem at this SNF however due to training schedule conflicts, I wasn’t able to complete orientation and I never received a paycheck, but I let it go- didn’t think much of it since I was employed FT elsewhere. Fast-forward to a month ago when I was able to start a part-time position with them, I had mentioned the previous paycheck not being received and they said they would look into it. I’ve just finished all my entire orientation and was supposed to be paid on Thursday. Imagine my surprise and I went to go cash my check on Friday and the mobile deposit wouldn’t work. I figured it was probably just a problem with the size of the check so this morning I took it to the bank. I attempted to cash it through the ATM and was told to check was invalid. I have contacted HR. I’m extremely upset. They owe me over $2500. The taxes have already been taken out, but no money has hit my account
I'm a nurse in a hospital. A few days ago I was called down to HR. I thought it would be about going over the new position I just accepted.

They told me I'm not the only one being tested as well. The next day they called me to schedule a time next week to come talk to them. This will all take place 5 days after the urine test. I have zero issue with a urine screen, and maticiously check at the end of my shift all narcotics are wasted or returned.i cant think of a thing that it could be unless they're just checking everyone who had access to the pyxis that day.

This is my first post, ever. I’m a registered nurse working case management (M-F, 9-5) at my hospital that I’ve been at for 3 years and as of recently I picked up a second job, which is social media. My social media has rapidly grown over these past few months, income including. I recently was reached out by my dream brand and they invited me for a two day campaign photo shoot (absolutely insane). They would accommodate for my travel costs and for me being there. As soon as I was told this news, I immediately went to request PTO. I had a feeling my boss was going to deny me, which she did. I know she doesn’t like me, and I have absolutely no idea why. Anyway, besides the point, my question is, do I call out regardless and attend this photoshoot and deal with the repercussions when I get back? I’m at a loss.

32M single nurse who works inpatient 12 hour shifts. Live alone. Looking to get 1 or possibly 2 small dogs. Breeds that are not super energetic requiring multiple walks per day. Work 3x 12's and pick up an extra 1 OT shift every other week. Out of the house at 6 AM and return around 8:30 PM. Non-work days would be a non-issue. However, on work days, my plan was to go for a 30-40 min walk in the morning prior to work and then 20-30 mins after work. While I'm at work, have a dog walker or parents come by around 1 PM to spend time with them for an hour. For dog owners who live alone and can weigh in, do you think I'm "doing enough" on my work days for them or do you think i'd need to make more accommodations? Despite REALLY wanting 1 or 2 small dogs I do not want to be selfish and not provide them with the best possible life that I could. I do not want them to potentially feel neglected on those few days that I do work. Days off they'd be the center of attention and my whole world. Any in
I unfortunately dislocated my shoulder recently on my dominant side and for lack of better words completely fucked the whole thing up. I found out today I’m going to need surgery and I’m expecting a 6 month minimum recovery time where I’ll be pretty limited with how much I can do with said arm. I just lost my bedside nursing job as I hadn’t been there long, didn’t qualify for FMLA or short term disability, and they were not able to accommodate my injury (which is understandable for a bedside nursing job). My question is, what can I even do? I can’t imagine being a clinic nurse right now, because although it’s not as heavy as bedside you still most definitely need 2 functioning arms. I feel like I’m limited to desk jobs or remote but those are hard to come by. I’ve been looking nonstop at jobs since I lost my job, because I’m extremely stressed about finances now. I have absolutely no source of income now and a ton of medical bills coming my way. I just feel so depressed and unsure of w
Hi everyone! I’m hoping some nurses or nurse managers can give me some advice because I’m honestly trying to figure out the best way forward. I graduated nursing school in April 2022 . Unfortunately, life happened, and time got away from me before I took my NCLEX. I finally passed my NCLEX in June 2026 and am now trying to get everything squared away so I can start working as an RN. Here’s where things have gotten complicated: I currently live in Georgia and am a Georgia resident , so I applied for licensure by endorsement. I was informed that because it has been 4 years and 4 months since I graduated , I now have to either: Complete 500 hours of nursing practice in Florida , or Complete a re-entry program that costs around $2,000 I actually had a job offer that I received back in February 2026 , but the employer recently contacted me and explained that unfortunately they can no longer hold the position for me. So now I’m back to trying to figure out my options. My spouse and kids have
For one yearly eval, I met the 5% max raise evaluation but I was only given 4% because i wasn't allowed to be given a percentage point increase of 2% points from my previous years evaluation (which was a 3% even though I met the criteria for the 5%). I had consistently stayed late for work, and averaged about 40-50 hours of call a week for years. If that doesn't qualify as exceeds then I don't know what else does. Honestly if you show up for your shift at least consistently and have enough to keep your mental health, physical health and home life health intact. This should constitute a 5% evaluation on it's own. That honestly changed somthing in me. Now, I still do my best at work, but, I don't think I really care about evals? Just some thoughts here.

Idk if anyone remembered me but I was the nurse who posted the comparison chart between my old hospital and new hospital with a significantly better pay. I’m back again. Key points: I only get 2 weeks (6 shifts) orientation at the new hospital. I have 2 years ICU, 1 year OR experience in the Philippines. Migrated to California. 8 months day shift tele experience.

I got hired as night shift ICU. Day 1 orientation, I told my preceptor my background, but she was pretty much hands off with me. Taught me once, then expected me to be completely proficient with it. Struggled with epic so much. Didn’t take my breaks so I won’t be behind on my flowsheets. At the end of shift I asked her for feedback and studied on my days off. I was off for 3 days. Day 2, we got assigned 2 intubated patients. Both sedated, fo
