Hi Patrick, congratulations on your soon to be converted e -book. Do you still own the rights to your book or you sold the rights to the company who is re packaging your book. I am also thinking of re-doing my book Heart Talk as an e-book. Did you...
Congratulations! I too think you should stick to one shift as it's difficult for your body to regulate your sleep cycle when you are going from one shift to the other. I have worked both shifts at different times and I like each for different reaso...

I felt real compassion for you after reading your post. Seems like you feel "lost" now that you are out of the nursing scene. The profession really grows on us and to a great extent defines who we are over the years. Nursing is like being in a mar...

I have worked on all different units in the hospital at which I work. When I just started a couple years ago it was very common for patients to be restrained, including elderly confused patients. Patients are still being restrained but not as frequ...
`I am also for pressing charges! Most of these patients know exactly what they are doing and saying. It seems sometimes we present ourselves as " a sacrifice" for patients and act as if we are at their mercy. I think this talk about "the customer i...

Hi Tlancio, thank you for your insightful response. How long is the holistic course you mentioned, more than a year if one already has a Bachelors Degree and can one do this course on line? Yiggs
Cosmicmama, how long have you been practicing. How long was the course and was it very expensive. It's an area of interest for me. Do you find building a clientele easy. Yiggs

I feel very badly that this happened to you. The reality is, 'first impression is lasting.' I hardly think the job offer for which you were a no call, no show will reconsider you. As the other poster said, send a thank you card to the other job wit...
How do you feel about nurses discussing spirituality with patients who need emotional support, especially those who express feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and suicidal thoughts?
Yiggs replied to HealthyNurse's topic in Entrepreneurs
Good idea! I think your idea is more than feaseable because you have experience in almost all areas of the business. Also, your current job will be an asset. As you go to these places to do your job, look for areas that need improvement and look for...

Congratulations on being so proactive and ambitious. I wrote a book a couple years ago titled, "Heart Talk." How To Express Negative Feelings in a Positive way. I had a press release in the daily paper with my picture and a narrative about the cont...

It is unfortunate that this is the reality in most long term care facilities. The unfortunate thing is that the people who get the brunt of the neglect are the residents who happen to be someone's mother, father, sister, brother, child etc. None of ...
Couldn't you work week-ends only or work two days a week and have someone watch your kid(s). I feel your pain! The last thing you want is to loose your skills - make sure you keep renewing your liscence and your BLS/ACLS. Also, try to read nursing ...
