If you want a room full of nurses to become very quiet, mention working on a psych unit. Some will express interest. Others will quietly edge away. But neither group is likely to be aware how "normal" psych has become and just how many people actually have a diagnosable disorder.

May 28, '12 - The first year of licensure is overwhelming and anxiety-inducing, but, ultimately, it should be a time of exponential growth into a competent nurse. To build confidence--and therefore competence--more quickly, extra work is often necessary for the critical first year. Using an example of what not to do, the author illustrates how growth may become delayed or stunted without it.

May 13, '12 - Though I have never experienced it, I have witnessed the awesome power and divine force that courses through women and even more so through every mother. Each and every time, I am awed. Each and every time, I come to the conclusion that heroes, as a matter of fact, do exist.

May 24, '12 - While accidents happen sometimes they can be the pole vault to launching you into a new Nursing job. I got my Nursing degree 18 years ago and have had many different jobs to experience the field of Nursing. While I tried different jobs I found Hospice Nursing an area I could share my caring heart with patients and families. While I was learning to be an Admissions Nurse an accident happened that changed my job position and gave me a job I love.

May 2, '12 - Nurses provide care for families in times of death. Who will care for the nurses so they can continue to grow? How can we, as nurses, support the profession to assist other nurses to continue to be able to provide care when it is extremely personal, such as when death arrives for a family members of our patients. How do we relate to our patients and their families. How do we view death?

Apr 12, '12 - Correctional Nursing is a very hard job! It is normal to catch up on the local news correct? But how do you watch the news, listen to these heinous crimes, Murderers, Kidnappers, RAPE, Robbery, BABY KILLERS, CHILD ABUSERS, etc and then have them sit in front of you at your mercy for care?

May 11, '12 - An article describing treatment options for ESRD patients. Discusses traditional in center HD, nocturnal HD, and PD, both CAPD and CCPD as options for ESRD patients. PD is becoming more and more accepted as a viable option for patients of any age who want to have their freedom and lead an independent life, even with ESRD. Nurses should know the options, too, so they can inform their patients and assist them in making the right choice for them.

May 4, '12 - Some experiences in life change you forever. Looking after my mother as she was dying of ovarian cancer was such an experience. It taught me some valuable lessons and resulted in a major shift in my nursing career from labor and delivery to long term care.

May 6, '12 - Even though I graduated from nursing school in 1975, I still remember every one of my nursing instructors. I can't say I remember every last bit of information they tried to teach, but I do remember something about each one of them. Allow me to share what I remember about Miss Tander.

May 3, '12 - I have been reading how a lot of nurses are saying that there really isn't a great market for nurses these days, and how nursing is both wonderful and not so wonderful. Both the negative and the positive posts have made me think about my motivation behind why I am deciding to go down this somewhat uncertain path.
