   @classicdame, I strive to like my job, but I don't know how realistically possible that will be in med-surg. I think I will really like ICU. I hope I love it. Thank you

   GreenApplesauce replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in General Nursing

   Jadelpn We will have to agree to disagree. This is why nursing will never change. There are nurses who have found a way to justify the abuse they receive so they can live with themselves. It's okay I get it. I would not want anyone bursting my bubble...

   GreenApplesauce replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in General Nursing

   You are correct on that point. The health care system is so flawed. My plan B: Nurse Practitioner: Psych vs FNP, or BOTH...to give me more flexibility. As a psych NP I would just run my own private practice in my own office. Get my doctorate or PHD. ...

   I thank you all. I have now seen a different perspective on this situation. I still think it is BS that write up. You are right to say that it is in my hands. I will be proactive and ask for feed back. I will work even harder. I have worked too hard ...

   Truly 'No knowledge is a waste.' I used to be a former law student...it was fun but I could not see myself there in the long run....so after 3 years I left and started from square one. I wanted something in which I could feel good about what I do and...

    What-evs GT, It is what it is. I am going to ride this train until I get what I want. I did not spend 4 years of my life and thousands of dollars on nursing school to let my life end here. I am going to climb my way to the top. I invested in myself a...

    GreenApplesauce replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in General Nursing

    You see, that is why management and floor nurses can never be friends. It is the approach management takes. It is never two sided story...always one sided. Where the nurse is treated like the criminal and has to defend herself. Management never asks ...
