I’m located in AR and in past years I’ve always used Indeed when I needed a new job but over the last 6 months I’ve noticed every time I look on there, there are ZERO real jobs. All I see are cardinals I’m not searching for agency. Did employers stop using indeed and I just don’t know about it? They say we are in a shortage but where are the jobs!
Anyway if anyone needs a wound or IP nurse in central AR hit me up!
Hey guys, I need some honest advice here.
I was a med surg nurse in a small town hospital for 2.5years straight out of nursing school. It was hectic of course, my anxiety was all time high, I would check on my patients every hour if possible. I had times where I had an ICU level patient and had to focus all my attention on them, feeling like I neglected my other patients. But my hospitalists loved me.
There was one shift where I took care of a total care patient with no quality of life, begging me to let her die, but her family over the phone consented to a g tube. I cried uncontrollably that day, I actually had to go home early, my friend took over my shift, thank the lord for her.
I’ve had MDD since I was about 9 years old, tried every med out there. Either made me suicidal or just so numb I couldn’t handle it. So meds weren’t really an option. I have been able to overcome a lot despite my mental issues. But that day I truly felt I wasn’t strong enough to be a nurse. Even after 2 years in med surg, at that point.
I transferred to the postpartum unit in my hospital, it was great at first, my training was minimal since I had experience in medsurg despite it being completely different! I was delivering babies, but somehow in my entire 1.5 years I never even had to give oxygen to a baby. Even with my partial abruption preemie, and a true knot baby!
I did have to report a nurse for giving the wrong breastmilk, that was a whole deal but I swear my manager blamed me for not lying for her.
I was in postpartum for 1.5 years. I finally quit because my depression was out of control, I felt like everyone had something against me in that department, when I was used to feeling like someone who anyone could come to for help/advice without judgment. Sometimes I didn’t feel like a real nurse in PP. We had so much downtime in this department that the nurses had nothing better to do than to gossip. If there was ever an autistic/neurodivergent couple, I’d get them. They were more work but I was patient. Any person who needed a blood transfusion, I got them since I had med surg experience. I gave more blood in postpartum than I did in medsurg. Some of the nurses I worked with, had never even given blood once! The thing about my hospital is that we didn’t have a charge nurse in PP, who truly kept up with the unit/assessed acuity. If we did have a charge nurse, she had a full patient load. So the assignments were always a mess, I felt like I was always given more work, which I don’t mind but it started feeling personal. And all the gossip during the dayshift would travel to my managers who actually questioned me over things like, why did you put another iv in this patient? Well she was allergic to our standard c section meds; and the Dr literally put that order in for Iv pain meds for this specific reason, dayshift should’ve never taken her Iv out. (I tried walking with her, position changes before I resorted to IV pain meds) I would have to explain myself over standard nursing judgments. Once I explained myself I was in the clear, but the nurses would report me over the dumbest things. Never had this issue in med surg.
I was floated to ICU a couple times, I really enjoyed it. Less patients, critical so I could dig into their chart and investigate all their issues. That’s something I enjoy. I wasn’t given the privilege of managing drips, but I got along well with all the nurses. It felt like a family in ICU. Dark humor is something I’m down with.
I am moving back to a big city, where the options are endless.
Pediatrics was something I always aspired to do. The whole reason I became a nurse, my type 1 diabetic cousin who was only a year younger than I was, was constantly in hospitals. She hated it but I loved it. She passed at 19.
I took a quiz and it was 50/50 with oncology and pediatrics. I’m afraid I’m not bubbly enough for pediatrics .
I did enjoy taking care of moms and babies. But someone told me the environment will probably be the same everywhere I go. Mean girl energy. I’m not someone who agrees just to agree and feel included. I will tell you my honest opinion. Another thing I was judged on was the fact that I truly do not want children; I don’t want to spread my mental illness, and I prefer to travel. But not every mom who has a baby was ready to be a mom, and I believe I was the least judgmental, I just tried my best to educate them. Make them the best mom they’re able to be.
I hated being floated to ER! It was the worst for me.
I like to have the same patient over a couple of days, and build a true rapport with them.
Please ask me any questions, I wish I had a straight answer on where to apply! I have so many options now, but I just don’t want to waste any time in a unit I’m not made for! I spent so much time in this small town, I should’ve moved earlier but I didn’t have the financial means beforehand.
Maybe I shouldn’t be a nurse anymore, that’s something else I’ve considered. Let me know what your thoughts are!
To all my aesthetic nurses! Am I the only one feeling burnt out and that my passion for this industry is going away? As a future FTM I’m debating my career and if this is the path I see for myself. I don’t think I want to be on my phone all the time.
I’m wondering if anyone else has left aesthetics and gone back to a different outpatient specialty because it just wasn’t for them?
I am looking for some advice and I feel like this is the best place to ask. I currently work as an RN in a high acuity ICU. A few months ago I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS. I took about 6 weeks of short term disability immediately after my diagnosis due to generalized weakness, balance issues, numbness in all of my extremities and difficulty with fine motor skills.
Since coming back from short term I have had to call out 5 separate times due to relapse symptoms and there were many days that I should have called out but pushed through because I don’t have any more PTO and can’t afford to miss the paycheck. Stress is one of the biggest triggers for flares and I feel that the physicality, emotional and mental strain of this job is largely contributing to my frequent flares. I love my team and I’m sad because I genuinely don’t want to leave critical care but I don’t think I am physically capable of doing this job for much longer.
With that being said, I would really like to hear any opinions or thoughts on what sort of jobs might be a better fit for me. I’m a newer nurse and currently have about 1.5 years of experience exclusively in the ICU I’m currently working at. I have thought about potentially doing cath lab or OR nursing, but I don’t know truly what the physical cost is of those types of jobs. I’ve also thought about PIC nursing or dialysis but I feel like those specialties are difficult to go into without significant experience. A clinic/triage job would be fantastic but unfortunately very difficult to find because most clinics don’t hire RNs anymore.
I realize this was long winded but I would truly appreciate any advice or input because I’m feeling overwhelmed and not sure which direction to even start looking in at the moment. Thank you for reading ❤️
Hey all - hoping to get some advice here.
My family is opening a senior day care center in Massachusetts, and we’ve been trying to hire RNs but haven’t had much luck so far. We’ve posted on Indeed and LinkedIn, but the applicant pool has been pretty limited. For those of you in healthcare or hiring - where else have you had success finding RNs?
Also curious: we’re offering at least $50/hr (depending on experience). Is this somewhat competitive for MA RNs right now, or are we likely under market?
Happy to share more details if helpful. And if anyone happens to know someone who might be interested, feel free to DM me.
My friend works for persimmon and gets $85/patient visit. Has to travel to patients home so not many people for the effort and frankly not great pay for an hours work. I found another place that will send me to spas in my area (they do the booking and marketing to get me patients) pay seems way better - $180/hr based on on 2 patients/hr 2 Botox sites/pt. It’s a newer company but pay seems way better. I’m new to aesthetics and this seems like a great way in. Thought? Anything I’m missing or should consider?
I am a new grad nurse and I just graduated from Miami Dade college in December and I just got licensed on March 16 I’ve been applying to HCA hospitals so I can get my feet wet , however, I’ve been having issues , does anyone know any tips or tricks so I can at least land an interview? I’ve tried Aventura, plantation numerous times.
I also try to get into contact with the recruiters personally but to no avail
I’m scrolling through Indeed and came across this position for Providence (Orange County, CA):
Clinic RN - Team Based Care - Family Medicine
**“**The Team Based Care (TBC) Manager RN independently uses the nursing process to care for a group of patients safely, therapeutically, and efficiently. This role conducts shared patient visits with providers as well as independent RN visits using standardized procedures/protocols and documented workflows. The TBC RN collaborates with other team members to coordinate and execute the plan of care. Demonstrates initiative in the delivery of patient care in a Team Based Care Model.”
What does it mean when it says shared/independent RN visit?
I’ve been an outpatient clinic RN for an HIV/Primary Care FQHC before and I’m currently a Community/Field Public Health Nurse so I’ve roomed patients and have done outpatient procedures and now am currently going out into the field (think encampments, schools, worksites, etc for outbreak management or disease investigation).
I can’t tell if this position is alluding to home visits or if this more case management versus direct patient care?
Hello, new grad nurse here. I don’t know the reputations of the hospitals in the Denver Colorado area. I got 2 positions at a HCA facility but I now am seeing bad reviews on Reddit regarding HCA. Are there any hospitals that are good to work for, especially being a new grad?

hi so im currently a nursing student in my junior year. i have completed all my pre reqs (obvi haha), foundations, pharm, patho, peds, and currently in ob at the moment. over the summer ill be taking research, psych, and community/populations nursing. i applied for a couple of jobs (cna, student nurse tech, and nurse extern) in the span of like 1-2 weeks. i got denied the student nurse tech position i applied to at a hospital. a couple days later i got an email saying that i can schedule a phone interview for the nurse extern position at a rehab center. the phone interview was like 5 mins and the lady asked me to tell me some things about yourself. i said i was a nursing student and that i have my cna certification. i also have hands-on experience through my clinicals. im looking to continue building my clinical skills through a nurse extern role. she asked me when i got my certification and couldn't answer that on the top of my head as it's been a while (i got it back in 2021). she told me it's ok or something like that and that i would be scheduled an in-person interview with another person (i honestly don't know if it was one person or multiple people sorry) and to wear scrubs that day. the interview is this friday (5/1) for anyone that's wondering lol. on the email that i got from the company, it says that there will be 5 people interviewing me and that really got me scared and im very nervous bc i get anxious with interviews. i just want to get some advice for people who have experience with nurse extern position interviews like what is the process like, what are the questions that they'll ask me, anything important, etc.
p.s. yes ill be super busy over the summer so i won't be able to work a ton but the interviewee said their company is pretty flexible especially for nursing students. any questions will be gladly answered.
