  1. Has Nursing Made You a Homebody?

    Wow, your story sounds just like mine. I also work night shift and all I want to do on my days off is sleep. I turn my ringer off just so I won't be bothered and I feel like I've become a hermit that lives a completely different life than everyone el...
  2. I agree with your spouse. If you are suffering anxiety - starting a new job will likely make it worse. Also since there are more hours and additional drive time, which are major stress inducers, it seems like it would be a bad idea. Take care of your...
  3. Fun: Coke or Pepsi Nurses?

    Coke, it's what I'm drinking now....for breakfast.
  4. Win CASH! 11th Nursing Caption Contest - $100

    Don't think I'll want my stethoscope back.
  5. I’d volunteer, leaving the job for someone who really needed it.
  6. I sleep my life away

    I was on night shift and did some day work. It was definitely hard on my body. Like the other posters said it might help to eliminate the day of OT. I went to the dr. They did a check for vit. D levels, as those of us on night don't see much sun, the...
  7. Include the clinicals that you have done during school. Also, achievements pertaining to school. I wonder if you could write on your resume that for the last ten years you have been a domestic engineer? It is, after all, a full-time job. To be able t...
  8. I want to keep nursing but feel so stressed.

    I read your post. What the others have said about homecare is true, however, in a rural area it might be hard to come by. Maybe you could do nursing administrative work, Mds coordinator or something. Can you go back to your previous job at the hospit...
  9. Why does HR mess with people's heads

    I would call back today, right now. Tell them that you would at least like to know if you are actually hired....that's the least they could do. If they say they need to find something-tell them you'll hold on the line.
  10. Quirky Habits?

    I thought I was the only person in the world who split my split ends.
  11. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    I had a unit manager that said pacifically instead of specifically. I am still perplexed as to how she became a manager. There are some drugs that have strange pronunciations so I don't usually fault someone for that, but come on, pacifically???
  12. Transition from new grad to RN: What did you wish you knew?

    I went from being a medical assistant to becoming a nurse. I really wish I had known that the charting and documentation was going to be more time consuming than the actual bedside care. One-on-one care is what I decided to become a nurse for. In the...
  13. Can you work and go to nursing school?

    I am in a similar situation.I am a working LPN now, starting RN clinicals in fall. Right now I am the sole provider for my family and must have money to make ends meet. What I plan on doing is working a few days a week and taking out extra student lo...
  14. The retro nurse's outfit has returned

    Here is an easy way to tell the nurse from housekeeper: the nurse has a stethoscope. But really I wouldn't mind going retro every now and then.
  15. Ok, Fine... no Ivy Tech... Love of nursing!

    You sound like you would make a great nurse. I was inspired to go into the medical field d/t my ill child. If they don't take your life learnings into consideration now, don't worry because you can still get in if you apply yourself to the mandatory ...
