  1. Arrogant "know it all" RN

    She's insecure. Do your best to laugh her antics off. If she was so smart, she would know that nobody knows it ALL. Although they can be annoying, I bite my tounge, hang back, and watch how the whole comedic tragedy / tragic comedy unfolds

    What do you do for a living now? I graduated with my ASN in May of 2013 and have worked as an RN at jobs some would turn away; one SNF, an LTC, and Med-Surg/tele in a small, kind of crappy community hospital. Maybe I'm thankful for the experiences be...

  11. Do you need to be a ridiculosly booksmart introvert to work in the ICU? Sorry, I know these are just generalizations, but has your experience been that there's truth in these statements? I'm still trying to figure out where I belong in nursing. So fa...
  12. Early nursing jobs and "black marks" on resumes

    I think you could keep your options open by maintaining a prn job either at a hospital or a SNF. Steady employment in any nurse spcialty should keep you marketable, IMO.
  13. doctor's office gripe

    I agree...I have experienced similar treatment and it is ridiculous. Healthcare is getting worse thanks to the insurance companies' greed and the government's stupidity. They're in kahoots, you know.
  14. I am so discouraged

    Hello. Would you mind saying exactly what you used to do? PT? OT? RT? Anyways, it might well be that nursing pulls you in more directions, making it more demanding and stressful. Maybe if you can find a slower paced or more focused area of nursing th...
