I haven't completely left yet, but I should be able to get out of the hospital soon enough. I went in with a few fellow nurse friends to buy a medispa doing Botox, fillers, facials, all that sort of thing. We've only been open 3 months and are already turning a solid profit from all the referrals. I told myself I wouldn't quit my full time job until we'd been open at least a year, but if things keep up like this, I might have to. It's both terrifying and exciting.

This is amazing. Good luck to all of you!!!!

After working hands on in the ER and hospice I went to transition to remote work but it’s so difficult to find.

It’s very difficult. Hope you find something. This is the only way I was able to stay in nursing

I haven't left yet, though I doubt I have more than a year or two left in me. A friend of mine left nursing to work as a hostess at an upscale restaurant. She makes more money now than she did as a nurse, and for way less stress and fewer hours. That says a lot about how society treats nurses, doesn't it?

I was 20 yo, installing cable for a living. Figured i wasn't helping anyone, i wanted to make a difference and help people. Decided to go into nursing. Im now 53 yo and I should have stayed at the cable job. It doesn't pay much to keep people alive. I think companies guilt those of us that care... we get paid less and work more.

OR circulating nurse here. Will preface this by saying I have the utmost respect for CSFAs in the OR setting. However, wondering if any other OR RN’s have had issues with CSFAs feeling and acting like they are in charge of the room or attempt to carry out tasks that you as an RN are supposed to do? I do love having help, but we have one FA who hijacks my tasks and gets upset when i do not do things the way they would and attempts to instruct me on how to do my job

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.
