1. Nervous about resigning from private duty case

   amoLucia replied to Jusdoingnursingthings's topic in Private Duty

   Get another position, first, then resign. And do it QUIETLY! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, bring up the topic with that Mom. Most likely, she will just continue to 'guilt trip' you. So will your agency try also. Life happens to everyone -you ca...

   stars - now that's funny! I don't typically 'journal'. But I do have to keep 'notebooks', just a running diary of daily things and future 'to do' things.

8. Im about a month in my new job but I don’t like the hospital I started at

   amoLucia replied to Jillianki's topic in Job Hunt

9. Seeking Constructive Feedback

   amoLucia replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Nursing

   Funny thing - I rarely ever liked someone to watch me do the actual stick. I usually just told them 'being watched makes me nervous'. I was pretty decent with IVs being the rare CERTIFIED nurse working on 11-7. Had LOTS of practice.

10. Leaving Job - Advice For Giving Notice

    amoLucia replied to FashionablyL8's topic in Nursing

    Just thinking - check out your COBRA health insurance coverage with job #1. Don't know when your new job will cover you (if chosen). Again, don't give them any ammunition to shoot you like if you'll need references for future jobs and school a...
