For now it’s still bedside for me. It pays fairly well with good benefits, only 3 12’s, home with family the other 4 days.
All comes down to drive time for me. If your drive sucks. Absolutely. Decent drive a five 8’s is a good schedule WITHOUT weekends or holidays. If weekends are included, disregard.
12-15 minute commute each way, E/O weekend and rotating holidays.

Are you asking if someone made a Grindr profile?

My dad was in the hospital a couple weeks ago and they were so short staffed that it was ridiculous. It would take them two hours to respond to his buzzes, ended up peeing in the bed once.

Hospitals refuse to pay what it would take to hire additional nurses aides. They say they have job postings open, but no one is applying. What they don’t say is that they refuse to pay enough.
Why would someone work as an aide when they could make the same or more at Dunkin Donuts?

Yep. Sounds like a good position for 12's to work.
Until.... You know the schedules are already being asked for. Let the holiday schedule fights begin!!!!
It was great when I worked places with a mix of young and old. Young folks. Work Christmas and party it up for New Years. Let the breeding age people have Christmas.
Then I got older. And the nurses who are older than me have grandkids. Nobody parties on NYE and everybody wants off for Christmas.

When will hospitals drop the vaxx mandate? Maybe then they’ll recoup some of the staff they’ve lost.

I only plan to stay bedside for another 3 months when I start working full time as an NP. I've spent all my time nursing in the ED, but got lucky and landed an internal contract that paid me mid level money to work at my hospital.
No way I would be a staff nurse with all the traveler and agency nurses on the floor right now. If I was single and didn't go back to school, I would definitely be chasing the highest paying travel jobs.
The problem with hospitals is they don't realize they could give all staff nurses a $20/hr raise and still come out ahead of paying contracts. The nursing shortage is real right now and the majority of travel nurses are just chasing money and are terrible nurses.

I'd switch careers before I pick up a gig working bedside on a typical hospital unit. Seeing how nurses are slaving away for $35/hr while the people they're working with are agency nurses make $70/hr is such a slap in the face to reliable staff and I'm ready for the hospitals to suffer for it.
Started psych and will continue to work psych until I get some kind of gig I wouldn't mind working til retirement. Then again traditional nursing tasks never interested me thru school

Not gonna happen until Biden or the SCOTUS drops the mandate for the government assistance nonsense. Right now hospitals that take government money for payment like Medicaid and Medicare are still being forced to have their staff vaccinated. Until this gets repealed hospitals have no choice

They realize it just fine.
Their plan seems to be to wait the current situation out and continue the prior shite pay afterwards.

My favorite is when patients don’t even have symptoms and they come in only because they were exposed to it.

How do you like psych? I'm ICU with a remote history of ED. I like ICU because om a good night the patients don't talk or ask for shite. But I've wondered off and on if psych wouldn't be a cushier gig. I just hate all the psych holds we get though.

Honestly it's like nursing meets daycare/high school worker. Just lots of elated grandiose patients walking around the unit that you need to keep from doing something stupid or getting too worked up until their next med pass. The rest of the patients are usually like us, pretty decent people that just had a bad day or set of events and end up getting treatment for a few days for depression and/or anxiety.
If you've worked some ED then you'll likely know exactly what I'm talking about since a lot of ED patients are a form of psych.
