   What to do

   chadash replied to chadash's topic in Career Support

   Actually been thinking about that! I did that before, and losing so many patients (many of mine were hospice, and lived long enough that I got really attached) was so sad, I decided to try the hospital for a while. I might be ready to go back.

   I have been a nursing assistant for many years, and wonder if I should go on to something else entirely. I have always gotten great reviews, but this time around it was so so....I had surgery, family issues (sick grand babies and grand parents, two...

   chadash replied to chadash's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, wanted to edit, but had to post again. I guess I can be honest since you all don't know me. I am so depressed, and just have been having a rough time with that. I could cry at work, and sometimes do. Usually pretty cheerful, but for a few mon...

    Well, finally, I am not putting a price on the last commodity I have. When it all comes down, of course, we are more than the price someone pays for our efforts. God is the only measure of that. But in the world we live in, at 12 dollar an hour, or ...

    Just got BA...is being a CNA "below" me?

    chadash replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

    But I've got to be honest with you: you will get your pride scuffed up a bit if you work as a nursing assistant. Your BF's viewpoint is common, and even your coworkers will assume you are a bit, well, deprived educationally. But, it builds character!...

    What brings non-nurses to allnurses?

    chadash replied to ruralnurs's topic in General Nursing
