Hello to all you wonderful nurses out there in "nurseland", I have not read posts or posted in a long time so I just want to say 'Hi' and although I see from the little I have read that the SAME problems are out there that have always been there, here it does appear that 'free speach' does prevail and people can actually talk about what is bothering them, maybe it doesn't change anything, but "talk therapy" has been clinically proven to work, hasn't it!
It definitely has, quezen. And why don't you come on in more often. They're a very friendly bunch here on the most part.
quezen, can you please contact me? I am a PHS officer in the same predicament you were in. I would like to ask some questions. Please send me a private message.
All of the members of this forum were my rock during the anxious time between taking the nclex and getting my results. I start my first job as a RN next monday and I hope to participate more in the upcoming months!
I was complaining about my job on MySpace. My friend (friend's husband) posted a link to an article here. I read it and have been hooked ever since! Other than work days, I check this website EVERY day. I used to be amazed at how much time my husband spent online reading the news and doing e-bay stuff. Now, I spend that much time on this site! It's insane
Seriously, I learn so much. I can read most threads. The only one I have avoided is the "most gross, yucky, disgusting nursing story" thread. Not quite ready for that one.
So far, I'm undeterred in my desire to seek a 2nd career in nursing.
Someday will go premium, then watch out!
When I read AN at work, I don't log in, and so many times I want to comment but don't/can't.
As it is, all should know that I have followed the amazing story of Tim's daughter Kylie, and prayed for this little girl. I've prayed for others, too, and checked back to see how things are going.

I am so glad that I found this site. I was so very discouraged. It helped me to see that others have the same frustrations that I do. Plus I have learned alot about myself. I am presently spending hours on this site but that will stop when I am employed again. However, I will contnue to stop by for some encouragement.
Thank you all for your kindness, compassion and honesty. This is a great group of people. May you all be blessed for what you do.....
