Nurse156, Thank you! This is what I was hoping to hear. I just feel so embarrassed and lame now, and wish I could have just avoided the whole thing! But I appreciate you taking the time to write to me, So thanks again
Hello folks, I am writing because I need some encouragement....... What happened was that I had an anxiety attack on my second day in the ER. I have been a nurse about a year, and had a good first day, but the second day I started to freak out in ...

I am in the exact same boat. I am a new grad as well. I feel like there are just not enough hours in a shift to get everything done, and while people say they are there to help me, when I ask for help I get the "Why can't you do it by yourself?" look...

well, I can tell you that I had a DUI 5 years ago, and I sat for and passed the NCLEX in January this year. So I am officially an RN. However, I am a new grad and am unemployed. My current worry is that hospitals will not be interested in consider...
Hi folks, I got a DUI in Jan 04 (Before I even did my prerequisites for nursing school). I have my RN license now (after the process of gathering all the documentation to send to the BRN) and it was not a problem. I am wondering if part of my probl...
