Hi RN friends,

I have only ever worked in the hospital setting, ER, preop/pacu, float pool, post partum, peds...I was curious what it's actually like working in a SNF. I have a friend who just became a DON of a very nice facility and she joked that I should come work there. Now im kind of intrigued 🤔 but I have very little experience of what it would actually be like and I dont want to shadow...I just want to hear from other RNs that have worked in one. Was it enjoyable? Awful? Stressful? What exactly do you do with the residents? Just pass meds? ​

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi nurse friends :) I've always been interested in hospice care, but there were always other things in the way, pay cut, potential schedule conflicts, maternity leave. My father in law passed away yesterday from a stroke, he spent two weeks in the hospital and made it 7 days at the hospital center. This situation has got me thinking more about possibly making the switch. I currently work in float pool, post partum, pacu and pre-op (prn princess here haha) I did my first 2.5 years as a new grad in ER. I take care of GIP hospice patients pretty often.

I guess my questions are, is it better to work in a hospice center? Is it weird going into people's homes? Do you have a good work life balance? Do you get hourly pay or salary? Do you get out on call?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I'm wondering if I could get some advice on how to start this PSLF process. Chat gpt told me to first consolidate my loans, (I haven't consolidated and won't!) I'm an RN and work for a qualifying employer. I've worked there for six years.. Is it possible to have retroactive payments from those past 6 years? Not sure if that is the correct term. I do know my monthly payments will be 0$/mo. (based on my family size of 8) Any friendly advice on what to do and actually expect would be appreciated! Thank you!

edit -part of me is wondering if this is worth the trouble. the more I'm learning, i may not have any past qualifying months since I was in forbearance basically those six years of working... I suppose I'll wait for some response from student aid , but at this point I may be better off just throwing a grand at the balance (38k, 2.5%) each month and it will be paid off in like 3-4 years?

Just wanting to share my experience and offer support to any women out there looking for information. I know when I was looking into this procedure I was looking anywhere I could for testimonials and experiences and success stories afterwards! Just wanting to be that for someone if they need it :)
