I replied to this thread back in March of 08! I wasn't happy so I made a change. I now have a job that is about 90% phone work, 10% interaction with patients. I love what I do and am still a nurse. SO don't give up on nursing, as I said before th...
I have seen posters on this site worried that they won't be able to find jobs once they graduate and you all have persistent recruiters after you??? What do you stand to lose if you go to the interview?? Who knows, maybe they have a day position fo...
I feel sorry for the kids involved. Unfortunately in our society this is happening more frequently. I am disturbed by some of the judgemental comments on this post. Do we know that these women are on welfare? I can only hope that these women will...
I think every nurse who has worked in LTC has had days like this, I know I have. They only bring you closer to burnout:banghead:. I just finished a 5 year stint of LTC craziness. I swore I would never work as a LTC floor nurse ever again. All I...

Ironically, I couldn't stand coffee until I started working as a nurse......I can even drink the stuff while driving home from work and go straight to sleep! Several Tim Horton's restaurant workers in my area know exactly what I want when I pull up!...

When I come across nurses, or anyone in the medical field, I treat them the same as I would anyone else! When I go to appointments I don't tell people I'm a nurse, unless they think I don't know anything, then I'll mention it! My pet peeve is famil...

My first job was on a busy tele unit ( I swore in school that I would Neverever work tele!). Once orientation was over, it finally hit me that I am nurse, responsible for a group of sick patients! I was so stressed out my first year of nursing. I ...

My 2 year old was hospitalized with pneumonia and being the nurse that I am, would try to help out by "fixing" the alarms after they would beep forever because the nurses were busy. Some nurses didn't have a problem with me doing this. One nurse to...
