4. I don't feel smart or fast enough to continue to be an RN.

   Little_Mouse replied to EducatedNurse07's topic in Career Support

   Yes! I thought I was the only one...I've been a nurse for about 3 years and I still have anxiety about work. What may be contributing to that anxiety is the fact I've changed jobs 3 times in those years and never really "settled in"...although I thou...

15. Admissions RN duties?

    Little_Mouse replied to Little_Mouse's topic in Hospice

    I appreciate your honesty. I don't want to go into something if it may not be a good fit for me. I heard about this hospice company through a friend. She is a case manager but does field work (if that makes sense). She loves the job and loves working...
