   I have no idea, I wouldn't have guessed that. I'm guessing your job is harder to replace than a care partner? Transfer on the medical side seem to be easy to do. I just transferred myself.

2. Finding a job in the Nashville area

   NoblePath replied to colltuz's topic in Tennessee

   Hey there, I work in Nashville. I moved a few years ago after 1.5 years of experience. I got a job right away, but I didn't have a lot of options. Do you currently work in a hospital? What specialty are you in? I'd say that it's good that you have 1 ...

3. Not sure if Nursing is right for me (Right Now)

   NoblePath replied to Meabso's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd say to do whatever is best for you. You should take a good hard look at what you want in life and make your own decision. No one else can say what is best for you.

   NoblePath replied to wannabeagreatRN's topic in Stress 101

   Does your employer have an EAP program? I'm just suggesting this so you could talk it out with someone? This is a very tragic event, and you did everything you could do. I'm sorry this happened.
