  1. I guess I'm the odd one out. I hated nursing school and am so happy to be out in the real world. I have not missed school for one second. It was high school all over again and the instructors were awful. I'm dreading having to go to a Rn-bsn program ...
  2. Who are you inviting to your graduation?

    I did not go to my graduation either. Nursing school was awful, I did not want to spend any more time there than I had to.
  3. How many 12 hour shifts per week

    Thanks for all of the input, I did not think I would get so many responses. To clarify I work days, and I am lucky because the hospital is very close to my house (10 min). I don't have kids yet, but do have cats and a very supportive husband. I would...

  5. How many 12 hour shifts per week

    I work 12 hour shifts and am able to work as much as I like. I am grateful for this because I have some debt I want to pay down. I do not want to get burnt out. How many shifts per week is too many? I am thinking between 4-5. Just wondering how many ...
  6. Back pain on med cart

  9. Nurse with asthma, how do they cope?

    I have had asthma my whole life. Took a few tries, but I am on a med that really keeps me controlled and I don't have any issues at work. Is your asthma controlled?
  10. I don't psych nurse like the other psych nurses here

    Hi, I am also new to psych and feel the same way you do. I am happy to hear I am not the only one who feels this way. Most of the other nurses I work with are so rude and snippy to the patients. I can't believe they way they talk to them! I do not s...

  13. RN working at a UNlicensed drug rehab

    I am not passing out meds, they have unlicensed employees doing that. They told me (and i have it in writing that I have nothing to do with dispensing, or supervising med dispensing). There is a medical director and a MD that I will be collaborating ...
  14. Hi Everyone, I found out these details after I got hired: I was hired on as a RN for a residential rehab facility. They do not have any other nurses working there, just me and unlicensed staff. The role they want me to play is not a management or s...
