  1. A few questions about bedside manner.

    If you base your own satisfaction on official compliments that happen to make it down the line, then you're setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. You know if you did a good job. You also know if you didn't quite knock it out of the park...
  2. RN Salary Survey 2013: Post here!

    Previous Job: 1. Texas, Central 2. 0 - 2 years exp 3. ICU 4. $23/hr - $25/hr 5. Night diff approx 21%, weekend 10% 6. Non-union. Terrible health insurance and other bennies, highly abusive work policies 7. There's no cheaper living than in the South....
  3. So many nursing majors in my class!

    What Dranger says is correct. His perspective is a humble and pragmatic one. To believe that oneself has "a calling" for nursing or subjectively has "more compassion" than someone is is an idealistic and egotistic perspective. Neither approach is wr...
  4. Personality Typing...

    INTJs can succeed and excel. Do not let that personality typing doubt you. Of course, you will never quite feel that you're like the rest of your coworkers, or the rest of most people for that matter, but that's fine. You'll still feel like yourself ...
  5. Ever since the economic nose dive spiral...

    Sad times indeed. People know that they can be fired and replaced at the drop of a hat, at the emotional whim of a manager. Staff morale is at all time lows, and its toxic. Brow beating at staff meetings because of low Press Gainey scores does not...
  6. What's with some of the fatalism regarding INTJ and nursing? That an INTJ is likely to make a subpar nurse? Hogwash. The test's classifications have limitations; each classification is most accurate and valid when you score highly in each of the ...
  7. Interview Assignment Help! What does HCAP mean?

    Horribly Contrived And Pointless
  8. Are you able to relocate? Take note that the majority of your classmates, with babies and families in tow, are unable or unwilling to relocate. That gives you a competitive advantage. Go to where people do not desire to live. They will welcome y...
  9. My first death still lives with me. No pun intended. WW2 vet... severe night terrors... may his soul rest in peace.
  10. Male nurse in L&D

    wtbcrna for President! I don't have half the stones to be able to work in obstetrics; I salute those who do. And I would go tell that employer to go BFOQ themself.
  11. Why does everyone seem to want to work L&D?

    Because only in L&D can you palpate another woman's fundus and not get arrested for it!
  12. male nurses with beards

    I second the neck-beard comment. This isn't the 70s anymore and we aren't computer programmers! Now I just wish I was more than just averagely follicly gifted... but I make do with what God gave me! Such is the life of man :)
  13. Should I become a nurse ?

    People who say nursing is "feminine" probably have never worked as a nurse. You can't let the idiocy of others discourage you. The current job market is a total b****; it's extremely hard to get into [a good] nursing school AND succeed with flying c...
  14. Looks like ICU, ED, Psych, and Flight make up about 50% of nurses who happen to be male. Not bad! ICU for me. Eventually I'll make the transition from Level 3 to Level 1.
  15. Ten Ways To Know You're Burning Out

    Isn't it somewhat normal to experience anxiety symptoms before heading off to work? Especially if you've been off for awhile (six day stretch or more, like someone else said). I mean, there's a reason why we're paid to work. It's tough stuff and c...
