   Mary Dover replied to Mary Dover's topic in General Nursing

   Hey Hoolio, lol. You are right about doing things sometimes to meet the needs of the family. That's why I took my current (managed care) job. It fit perfectly with my family's needs. But I HATE it so bad, I've dropped back to part time. I think that'...

   Had a dream last night that I'm sure is a manifestation of my recent career quandry. I dreamed that I was one of several nurses on a bus (maybe the allnurses bus?). Don't know where we were going or why we were all on the bus together. We happened u...

    Mary Dover replied to margnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    margnurse, I can relate to everything you last said, but also to jnette that you should follow your heart. Someone (a medical nurse) once said to me that she thought psych nurses "march to the beat of a different drummer", but I took that to mean in...

15. Working at State Psych Hospital

    Mary Dover replied to margnurse's topic in Psychiatric
