They also cover the question of salaries, but those are based on statistical data. I'm interested in individual input --- how does the data match up with your reality?

Hey everyone, for those of you looking into a nursing career and wondering about managing multiple roles, I’ve seen many nurses successfully handle both hospital work and per diem shifts in long-term care facilities. Here’s what has worked for them: Time Management: Effective use of digital calendars to manage shifts, personal appointments, and downtime is key. This helps prevent scheduling conflicts and ensures proper rest. Digital Profiles: Building robust digital profiles on nursing job platforms can streamline the job application process, eliminating the need for repetitive paperwork each time they apply for a new position. This digital footprint can showcase their skills, experiences, and certifications, making it easier to connect with potential employers. Skill Optimization: Nurses who work in both settings often develop a diverse skill set, handling everything from acute care in hospitals to chronic disease management in long-term care. This versatility enhances their professional performance. Networking: Utilizing each work environment as an opportunity to learn from other healthcare professionals expands their network and opens doors to new opportunities and insights into various nursing specialties. Financial Planning: The higher hourly rates in per diem shifts can be quite beneficial. Effective financial planning, including saving and investing in further education, can significantly boost their career growth. Self-Care: Prioritizing physical and emotional health is crucial, with strategies like getting enough rest, eating well, exercising, and engaging in stress-relief activities. Professional Development: Continuous education is often essential not only for maintaining their nursing license but also for staying updated with the latest in healthcare practices. Balancing the demands of hospital and long-term care roles offers a varied and enriching career path, helping nurses avoid burnout and stay engaged in their practice. Sharing these strategies might help future nurses navigate their careers more effectively. What are your experiences and advices?

I'm not a nurse, but a nutritionist and I did a hospital internship for my career in two different hospitals. One was a pediatric hospital, and the work environment was really great. The other one was a general hospital, and I remember being locked in the kitchen helping with peeling and chopping vegetables all day long while nobody would talk to us, not even the people in charge. I am so grateful it was just an internship! Otherwise, that's a job I would have quit immediately. How about you? Did you ever have a nursing job that was unbearable?
