  1. It can be challenging to decide what career path is worth years of study and dedication. Not something to take lightly for sure. I encourage you to think long and hard about it and to research career paths of your chosen field carefully before pursui...
  2. Sad story of an ex-new grad nurse

    I can sympathize, I have been in very similar situations in my personal life and my career. You will put yourself and your career back together in time. Everything may be at a standstill right now but life will go on. I promise!
  3. Scary Territory

    Thanks for your insights Libby1987. I'm not afraid of ugly neighborhoods and I am certainly not timid. I am however afraid gang violence and it is very evident statistically that bad things happen in this part of town due to a prevalence of gang viol...
  4. Scary Territory

    I recently started my first job in Home Health doing home visits for one of the best hospital associated agencies in my area. So far it is a challenge but I'm really enjoying it and I could see it being my niche. Unfortunately I just found out that t...
  5. Hate Home health job

    Wow, helpful advice nutella. Thank you. I am still in orientation at a large home care company (hospital affiliated). I am very excited but the more I learn the more my head is spinning. I hope I will be more confident about what I'm doing in 6 month...
  6. Hiring managers please advise!

    Thank you not.done.yet. I think I am going to try to stick with this as long as I can tolerate it. It may even inspire me to take more classes each semester in order to graduate faster.
  7. Hiring managers please advise!

    Thank you both for your responses. I realize that there is a need for all types of nurses in all fields. My personal goals are the driving force for my career and being a leader in LTC is not my goal. The reason I want to leave my current position is...
  8. Hiring managers please advise!

    I graduated from nursing school with my ADN in May 2013. At the time I had been working a 0.5 on a TCU as an LPN and I continued to do so until a management job position opened up and I decided to apply. I was offered the position and in August 2013 ...
  9. 2001 Graduate, when do I start to study and how???

    You could try NCLEX-RN Flash Review. It covers concepts instead of just asking questions. It might help you remember what types of topics you need to study. It's only one resourse but it might be worth looking into. Good Luck
  10. Anti-intellectual & hyper-sensitive. WHY?

    Something about this post is off. If you communicated your criticism constructively why did she "run crying" to the supervisor? Are you sure you came off the way you though you came off? Did your disdain for her poor writing abilities come through to...
  11. Almost entire class failed Anatomy test!

    Welcome to nursing school. On our first day they told us "be prepared for your GPA to go down and the numbers on your scale to go up". True and true. Hang in there!
  12. Unfamiliar territory with no orientation

    I'm a new nurse, too. Whenever I am confronted with a situation that makes me uncomfortable I remind myself that I know more than I think I do so my gut instincts are important. I also ask myself what is the worse thing that could happen if I screw u...
  13. new nurse/seasoned nurse

    They aren't all crotchety, but I think you know what I mean :)
  14. new nurse/seasoned nurse

    Good post! I personally love crotchety old nurses because I know their training was more strict and that they are going to teach me something if I prove to them I really want to learn. They are experienced and they have a legacy of skills and informa...
  15. Do you ever correct people about medical stuff?

    This one really bugs me for some reason!
