   Maintain your license and keep up with your CEUs. You might in a period of time become more stable and able to function. I was on disability for about 10 years before I found my way back. I wish you good luck and happiness in your future.

   Don't give up just because you are now disabled. Get a relief shift at a nursing home on a weekend if you still want to go back to nursing. I've been hospitalized more times than I can count. It can be done.

   I have gone through being a stay at home wife, a breakup of a terrible marriage and years fighting bipolar disease. I started working a couple of shifts a week at a nursing home. I eventually got a med/surg position. I tried home nursing but it was...

4. Who says nurses can't be scholars?

   AnotherRNisnew replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in NP

   Even though I may not be pursuing a higher degree in nursing I am still always working at learning more every day. Last year I accepted a job as a dialysis nurse. This is an area in which I have no experience in but the company I work for provides...

6. Anxiety following patient death

   AnotherRNisnew replied to Hockeynursing's topic in General Nursing

   You have no control over when your patient expires. This patient had been doing poorly all day long and it was just his time. You did nothing wrong.

   AnotherRNisnew replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

   There are many different types of nursing jobs that you could try. I went to dialysis in an outpatient setting and I love it. Don't give up on your love that quickly. Good nurses are always needed.

8. DIALYSIS! I am new in the field and feeling very discouraged

   AnotherRNisnew replied to angelmp228's topic in Urology

   I would ask to shadow a nurse for part of a day. It seems like Davita at least from my experience likes that idea and you can get to see what its like in that clinic and how staff interacts with each other. I would also ask about hours and shift tim...

   AnotherRNisnew replied to lolafloda's topic in Urology

   I work for DaVita and I'm confused that you started in March and concluded your training in May. I had three months PCT training with a 40 hour off site training class with an exam I had to pass. I then had another three months of training as the ...

10. DIALYSIS! I am new in the field and feeling very discouraged

    AnotherRNisnew replied to angelmp228's topic in Urology

    I am also new to dialysis. Turnover is always a bit hectic. The best you can do is to take care of one patient at a time. Just concentrate on that patient. While their site is clotting you can tear down the machine and string it for the next pati...
