  1. Aesthetics Nursing

    Hello there... I see that this is 7 years ago! But any of you can point in the direction of current avenues of training. I am in the Boulder, CO area. I know there is RN Faces down south. I appreciate any information. I have 6 years in med-surg...
  2. Breaking through the cliques

    I understand this strange social phenomenon. I experienced it when I first started my floor job (not ICU) as a new nurse 6 years ago. Now, for the most part, I love my team of nurses. That said, our ICU has a reputation of nasty nurses, mean, and ...

  7. Quitting after 4 months.....

    Dear KayceeLee: I have never posted on this website, but your posting left me so empathatic. I too am a new RN, almost a year now on the job. I work on an orthopedic/neuro floor which also added telemetry PLUS if there is an empty bed, we'll take WHA...

    Hello Fellow Nurses! I wanted to say hi and say that I've looked a little bit at this website, curiosity sort of thing and decided to introduce myself. I live in Colorado. I am a new graduate as of May 2006. I was counting on a new grad program at ...
