I wanted to move closer to home, so I'm currently working in a small 5-bed CCU after years of busy Med-Surg as a new grad nurse. It’s super quiet and peaceful, especially compared to what I was doing before. Sometimes, we only have 1 patient or just telemonitoring. I’m all caught up on my education modules and have hours of downtime, so I feel like I should be doing more. Would it be worth going for my CCRN with such low acuity, or should I just enroll in an NP or MSN program? How would you use the free time?

I have a lot of downtime at my job because I currently work nights and I spend a lot of time reading, to be honest! I know that I won't always have this much free time so I'm definitely taking advantage of it. I've read over 80 books this year! Some of them are work-related, and some of them are not.

I'm in favor of pursuing any/all higher ed opportunities. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those options. Figure out which is best for your career goals and throw yourself into it!

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

I have a experience of 3 yrs as a Quality Analyst and 1.5 yrs as a Business Analyst. Also I am about to complete a PG program in Data Science and Business Analytics and now I'm seeking opportunities as a Data Analyst. CTC in my previous job was 5.3lakhs.
How much CTC should I expect in my switch as a Data Analyst or rather according to the market standards what should an ideal CTC be for a person with my experience.
