2. I hate what's happening to nursing...

   ccampbell1012 replied to nyteshade's topic in Relations

   My sentiments exactly. Nursing is a second career for me and I was so thankful for an opportunity to go into a profession that I wanted to do for many years and wanted to help people. Now, having only been out of nursing school for almost 2 years, ...

3. New nurse in training...having a hard time dealing with my trainer!

   ccampbell1012 replied to LPnicki4990's topic in New Nurse

   Been there as well. You should remind your trainer that if you are doing well or becoming more competent in the job, that is a reflection on her/him. You should kindly remind her/him that you want to be able to show all the skills/knowledge that th...

4. My best orientation mistakes

   ccampbell1012 replied to skicoachrn's topic in Humor

   Hilarious!!!! This made me think about all my embarrassing moments...that I still continue to have. I think more nurses should share their stories. For some reason, after nurses have been practicing for awhile, they start to act like they never ma...

5. Interview outfit--is this ok?

   ccampbell1012 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the other posts. I think you should wear what makes you feel comfortable in. You will be nervous with the interview anyway and if you are fidgety with your clothes, that would be noticeable. When you start dressing in scrubs all the t...

6. Can I do this job???? I need advice please.

   ccampbell1012 replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in Geriatric

   Wow! I don't really have any suggestions other than just hang in there if you want to be there. It sounds very hectic and chaotic. I would freak out having between 20 - 27 patients. You sound like you are dedicated to learning and excelling in the...

7. Major Vent

   ccampbell1012 replied to LouisVRN's topic in Safety

   I totally agree! I would never venture off to live in another country and not know or try to learn the language. I have patients who have lived here 20+ years and do not know more than 3 words in English. I have even been encouraged to learn anothe...

8. New grad RNs: Do you hate nursing already?

   ccampbell1012 replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida

   Hi there! I am in my 1st year of nursing. I started my first nursing job in June, 2009, so it is soon to be one year. Yeahhh!!!! As I was reading your post, I was really sad for you but also strangely hopeful. I will try to explain. While this i...

9. Should I make the decision to switch career?

   ccampbell1012 replied to arkmann's topic in California

   It can definitely be a tough decision on what you want to do. I had a similar dilemma a few years ago and I chose to pursue the nursing route. I have now been in my Med-Surg job for almost 10 months. I was making lots more money than I am now. I'm su...

10. facebook and texting at work

    ccampbell1012 replied to NurseEmRN's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP....your coworkers are not mind readers...yes they shouldn't be texting/facebooking while at work but if you didn't ASK for help, how did they know you needed any? Are you kidding me????!!!! I guess if the coworkers didn't have their nose ...

11. On the Edge

    ccampbell1012 replied to wannabecnl's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on your decision to persevere and begin a new career regardless of your age!!! I was so focused on being one of the oldest students in the class, yet I don't think anyone else really thought much about it. I went to nursing school at ...
