   benitarae replied to Rascal1's topic in Recovery

   You can begin to see the the way through the "rubble" you have left behind as you keep working with a reputable recovery program. Do you have a recovery preceptor? Are you attending outpatient meetings? Are you in a program? I respect Jackstem's ...

   benitarae replied to Josh.P's topic in General Nursing

   I think the only thing that has made me go (yuk) are respiratory secretions. For some reason they make me feel like choking. I worked in a clinic on the other end of things and that did not bother me, Just think, we all have anus's-if we are lucky!...

8. New in recovery and just fired from my new job......

   benitarae replied to Rascal1's topic in Recovery

   As I understand it, you were pretty much just "Plopped" into the position. Sounds like your co-worker had an attitude, probably not with you, but rather with the facility. Maybe she resents having to train you when she is not getting paid additiona...

13. Can a plastic surgery nurse move into acute care?

    benitarae replied to tclu's topic in Ambulatory

    I would say take the job if offered. It's tough out there right now. It looks better on a resume to have a job already when applying to other postings. I agree, you should continue trying to get anything in a hospital. Did you know that volunteer...
