   ambil replied to katy81's topic in General Nursing

   How bad is the stress? There are so many different types of stress to begin with. It really depends in what type of setting you work in. Lack of time to treat people humanly is for me a big stress maker. I get very irritated too when I know I cou...

   These patients are being taken care of at home by their families. Our last visit is around 1900-2000, then we are there again in the morning as early as possible. So yes, unfortunatly these patients are lying in a very wet diaper for the last few hou...

8. can anyone relate?

   ambil replied to Charlie77's topic in General Nursing

   I've been living overseas for many years and don't know some of these abbreviations. What is LTC?. Even without knowing this from what you say it sounds as if the orientation was very unfair for you. Hang in there with this menopause thing. I kno...

    ambil replied to betc's topic in General Nursing

15. That Crazy Old Lady Did It!

    ambil replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for about 16 years and can remember vividly how it was to be new on a unit. Some nurses actually seem to enjoy seeing the fumblings and insecurities of a new gratuate, just to spite them I guess. They think it's funny to see how ...
