2. Should a new grad RN?....

   danielle2000 replied to MoserK's topic in General Nursing

   Med/Surg is the fundamentals to all nursing. No matter what area you work, Med/surgical problems will arise. I say it depends on the nurse. I never worked Med/surg I started in the NICU but I am a self learner. I research and read a lot.

9. Why Do Nurses Quit?

   danielle2000 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I get it why so many nurses are running to the hills. Misery, lack of adequate pay, and being treated like a servant than a professional. Nursing have so much power, but will not use to facilitate change. If every nurse walked off the floor hospitals...

10. Is the Grass Really Greener on the CNP side?

    danielle2000 replied to sunnyskies9's topic in NP

    Perception is not always the reality. I have been a RN for 16 years and notice the gradual degradation of our practice as nurses. As a NP I feel empowered and making an impact on what I do for my patients. Now, with every profession there are some ir...

13. I hate my job!

    danielle2000 replied to RNlooking4freedom's topic in General Nursing

    The saving grace in this profession is the dynamics. I truly feel your frustration I too had been where you are. For me, it was dealing with bureaucracy of acute care facilities with their unrealistic expectations and lack of good incentives. More cu...

14. How to handle being belittled by superior?

    danielle2000 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in Relations

    Never accept rude behavior!!!! I do not know why people feel others should get a pass for being nasty. If you are in a leadership role you definitely have a bigger responsibility in being professional and not come off like some bulldog. You can own a...

15. Colleagues who hate patients

    danielle2000 replied to Emergent's topic in Relations

    Honestly, it is not the patients that get me irritated. Because I realize after a while you can't let their problems become your burden. You can give the best care and teach. At the end of the day they will make their decision. Its the back biting tr...
