2. Nursing Stress & Relationships

   thinkingpositive replied to thinkingpositive's topic in Stress 101

   Thank you for your responses. I appreciate it. There really is no salvaging the 6-yr relationship at this point. My former fiancé wrote a letter with elaborated demands of our separation. What sucks is we just bought our house four months ago, and he...

   Hi everyone. I guess this post comes out of a place from a relationship that succumbed to nursing statistics. I am in FNP school, part-time (but feels like full-time with all the assignments and papers) halfway through done, and as stressful, if not ...

   thinkingpositive replied to thinkingpositive's topic in Job Hunt

   HI Man Nurse2b. Yeah, unfortunately, my one and only hospital interview went really awry. The interviewer was very unprepared, and somewhat unprofessional. I am not saying this to spite her in any way because I didn't get the job, but everything tha...

   thinkingpositive replied to RNsteve's topic in Career Support

   Hi RNSteve. Thank you for sharing. We are on the same boat; I work in a sub-acute unit, and will have been an RN for 3 years in January -- and still have not landed an acute care job. Like you, my confidence has dwindled because sub-aucte (just like ...

   thinkingpositive posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hi everyone. I have been bottling my thoughts for a while now, and I am desperate for advice/opinion about my situation. None of my RN friends share the same experience, and I want to know if there is anyone out there who is going through the same. I...

   thinkingpositive replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in NP

   I feel very relieved just reading all of the posts above. I have a very non-acute care setting RN experience, and have only been a RN 1.5 yrs before getting admitted to the FNP program part time. Finding a job, and even just receiving a call for an ...

   Hi Christine, You are not alone. I am a fairly new nurse; somewhat burned out; in the FNP program and have contemplated on either quitting, or taking a year break; the latter being more of the case. The thought of taking some time off of school make...

    thinkingpositive replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Job Hunt

    I agree with you sour april -- you can be a great nurse anywhere. And yes, there is nothing wrong with home health, SNF, public health or other field of nursing. I enjoyed my SNF days, although, it wasn't my first job option to start my nursing caree...

    thinkingpositive replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Job Hunt

    Hi PeacockMaiden, I'm in sort of in the same boat as you. Graduated in Dec 2011, licensed in Jan 2012 with RN, BSN, PHN -- couldn't get into any kind of New Grad Program. I am in Southern California, and probably the other worst area for new grads, ...
