What kind of nursing are you going to do that you don't work weekends? If it's in the hospital most nurses I know work every other or every 3rd weekend. You'll have to change the giving orders to the taking orders Sometimes bedside nurses don't get all of that patient care time either as hospitals cut staff and you get sicker patients and all of these new forms that have to be filled out that JACHO says you have to have and care plans to update and just the general care of a patient for 8-12 hrs a day times 6-10 patients (on a med/surg floor). But I do love my job and I get asked (mostly by my father) why I didn't/don't go to medical school....because I don't want to medicine and nursing have a different focus of care that some people just don't get.Originally Posted by Brewerpaul
Did you just get to take a transition class and only have to do 1 year of school to get the nursing theory done?
