I think I've come to the end of the road for being on my unit. It's such a friggin heavy pt load wise and the manager won't give us PSW's (personal support worker).
We've lost something like 6 nurses since I've been there - to other units I mean. The newest nurse has left us for paeds. I'm going to miss her, she's one of the good ones. I wish I was leaving for there!
Now I have to watch the boards to see what's available, cuz I'll only leave for paeds or labor & delivery.
Hopefully something will come up soon.... plus, working one of these units will sets me up for when I become an RN.
It's been a long road! I was discriminated when I took my BSN the 1st time so I took a yr off school to think about what to do. During that time, I met & married hubby & he convinced me to go back to school to at least complete my practical nrsg. It was a long journey of distance Ed - completing my LPN to BSN degree in six yrs as I faced so many health challenges. But I made it through!!! Now I'm on the road to being the RN I've always dreamed of being - look at me shine
