   Williss2 replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

   The first thing is to recognize a problem in order to make changes. So congrats on that and even wanting to take steps to change. There are a lot of people, not just in nursing, who display those same negative characteristics and think nothing of it....

4. You are not a nurse...

   Williss2 replied to TMT_P's topic in Relations

   Williss2 replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have much to add. But I just wanted to say that I get it. Maybe you and I both are in the minority on this topic. Looking at the figures relating salary to happiness, that amount is almost 2 times my income last year. I will be going back to ...

7. When we become the patient

   Williss2 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

8. What do you do to stay positive?

   Williss2 replied to tuxedopenguino's topic in Stress 101

   I have a challenge with this too. Some days I go in fully loaded with a positive attitude, good rest, etc. Then the happenings in the shift just snatches my joy. Some things I try to do is to take a nice, hot shower when I get home and let every nega...

10. Living with the decision I made

    Williss2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Of course I don't have to spend a lot of time talking about how much I would like to get away from the bedside. I spent my days off obsessively looking at jobs, thinking of furthering my education and just overall plotting my escape. Or I am venting ...
