3. I think I committed career suicide

   angiebelle replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

   Have you talked to your current ED supervisor about your feelings? Is the rest of the staff supportive/helpful? There must have been a reason you were hired besides having a pretty face () - i'll bet the hiring staff thought your skills and person...

4. Best Tool for Learning Medical Spanish

   angiebelle replied to Rebecca, RN's topic in General Nursing

   angiebelle replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    angiebelle replied to PrayToTheUnicorn's topic in Career Support

    Yes, very interesting about all of these products. i'm curious how long it takes to put Dermablend on: it's like cover-up, right? i usually run out of time to even put facial make up on some mornings, as i have two small outer forces (kids..). Lon...

11. Are you dissatisfied in being a nurse? Why?

    angiebelle replied to jaclynshroyer64's topic in General Nursing

    An aspect i find dissatisfying is the lack of time we get with patients. i am very big on the holistic aspect of healing, and with the short window of time we get with patients, it's very hard to assess other factors in their lives that could be aff...

    angiebelle replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pediatric

    This is absolutely awesome! i love all of these, and i think the real reason is that pediatric nurses are the best! It seemed to me on my out-rotation to the children's hospital that taking the IV out was the worst. i felt like i didn't see very g...

    i've got sleeves starting on both arms, large portraits on both legs.... and i'm not about to stop. and i won't lie: one (little but convenient) reason why i want to be a nurse is the higher wage i will receive, which will then fund my tattoo obses...
