1. Finally decided to quit nursing

   ANurseDivided replied to jennjen512's topic in Professionalism

   It sounds like you may have had a plan of what you wanted to do when you became a nurse but unfortunately, many do not or rather maybe they change their minds once they got too far in. I think that is great if you know exactly what you want to do......

2. Finally decided to quit nursing

   ANurseDivided replied to jennjen512's topic in Professionalism

   Hi JennJen512Finally someone who feels the same way that I do. I am almost embarrassed to tell anyone that I really do not like being a nurse. I don't even like to tell people that I am a nurse.I do feel that nursing is not for everyone. I truly feel...

3. No wonder our profession is messed up

   ANurseDivided replied to NeuroNP's topic in NP

   ACNP2B I understand your pain. I am not a NP but an ICU nurse for 9 years. I have worked with many NPs. I will have admit that I did kind of turn up my nose to some of the NPs for several reasons. I think that one of them might have been some deep r...

4. CCRN looking towards JD

   ANurseDivided replied to Dontknowwhattodo's topic in Legal

   I graduated from this program in December. It is a really good program. I think that you will enjoy it. I am still having a problem with finding a job but I hope that things will start to look better in the near future.

5. How do I get out of being a nurse?

   ANurseDivided replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   I think that you should think about what you could see yourself doing. What are you passionate about. I too so desparately want to leave bedside but I have an idea of what I would like to do instead....I don't think that everyone is meant for the bed...

6. Searching for job

   ANurseDivided replied to Guest296136's topic in Legal

   Is it even worth while to try to pursue work in this field? I am all that interested in the "hype" of making $150/hr. I realize that those people are few and far in between. I am just really drawn to the nature of the work. I think that it fits me. I...

8. Just landed my first interview for a nurse manager...HELP

   ANurseDivided posted a topic in Management

   I never thought in a million years that I would EVER apply for a nurse manager position ( in fact, I have joked about this very thing with co-workers on several occassions), but I find myself at a stage in my career where I feel that is the most logi...

9. Searching for job

   ANurseDivided replied to Guest296136's topic in Legal

   I am having the same problem. You would think that there would be a lot of positions because of the way that healthcare is now, but so such luck. Or if I do happen to stumble across a position, the employer wants all of these years of experience whic...

10. Keep ALL your connections!

    ANurseDivided replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Professionalism

    I second that notion of never burning bridges. You NEVER know when you are going to need someone. You can always catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. Be kind, respectful, honest, professional, and sincere and it will get you far.

11. Apologizing for my prima donna ICU coworkers.

    ANurseDivided replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Emergency

    Well I just left the ICU after 9 years and my coworkers and I would often complain about this very thing. It wasn't until I had an opportunity to speak with an ER nurse that I fully grasped the concept of what their role is. The ER nurse is supposed ...

12. Burned out nurse

    ANurseDivided replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

    That was me about 5 years ago...well almost....mostly just fried on the ends lol

13. Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    ANurseDivided replied to cardiacrocks's topic in Professionalism

    I am like you. I only call off when I REALLY need to and even then I am stressing about the fact that I have left my coworkers one nurse short. But there are many nurses who have no problem doing that. I used to really get upset at people when they w...

14. Any other cold hearted nurses out there?

    ANurseDivided replied to sweet~revenge's topic in Relations

    I really feel that it is all about balance. While I do agree that you can probably get more accomplished by being calm, cool and collected (soothing talk, constant applause when the patient does what you want them to do, holding the hand, etc), somet...

15. Forensic Nursing (FN): Programs

    ANurseDivided replied to sirI's topic in Forensic

    I am just curious, does one really need to have a ER/Trauma background to work as a Forensics nurse? I was a CV ICU nurse for 9 years which I know is not the same but just wondering. I took the Kaplan's LNC program some years ago but never pursued st...
