1. Is It Just Me?

   Miller86 replied to Mijourney's topic in General Nursing

   Why are people focused on other people's goals? Let everyone be whatever they wish to be. Let there be dreams to reach. Not everyone needs to do bedside nursing!! If NP, masters etc is what they are after then what's the issue? I like bedside, I don'...

2. G Tube feeding running while eating breakfast?

6. Am I harrassed???

   Miller86 replied to neeke816's topic in Relations

   So wait...Her being Chinese had what relevance ?How come the race/nationalities of the other nurses were not mentioned? Biased much? Did you expect people to say, "it's because she's Chinese?!!" Most of what your "Chinese" charge nurse did was releva...

   Miller86 replied to maelstrom143's topic in General Nursing

   You're a good and kind nurse. I hope you always stay that way. Your post was so refreshing to read. Made me smile at such an act of kindness that some tend to forget on those aweful shifts. :)

    I only got two weeks of orientation as a new grad. So 5 months would be more than plenty for me. Dive in!! You will do fine.

15. Hardly a "new grad" anymore... this feels like a curse?
