Louisepug has 1 years experience and specializes in Geri and adult psych, hospice.


I'm a 29 year old female that has been an RN now for 1 year. I've done psych nursing and am currently trying hospice...trying to find my niche! I love to travel, read, and play with my dog.

  1. This is gonna be a long one so forgive me for my ranting. Anyway, I haven't posted on here in ages, I guess I've just been plain disgusted with the whole nursing field. Where do I start? I've been an RN now for a year and a half, but have not worked ...
  2. Hospice...not what I thought it was going to be

  4. Cold Feet??

    Hello fellow nurses! I am a soon to be graduate RN July 14th. The last few weeks I've been feeling what many may call cold feet, fear, exhaustion,spring fever, whatever. The point is, all of a sudden I'm questioning so much. I did not expect this to ...

  7. From psych to med-surg??

    Thanks for your responses! I just went back into my med-surg rotation for the first time in over 10 weeks, and I have to say, psych is REALLY looking tempting! I am just not a fan of adult med-surg nursing. More power to those who love it though, the...

  14. HELP! I feel like I'm drowning!!

    Thanks everyone. :) I actually sent the teacher an email last night. He was pretty reassuring in his response. I think my class is going to get some kind of study group together for this. I know I can do it, I'm just going to have to sweat bullets to...
