You know I never thought about it like that. I never knew the restrictions. And yes, I still feel violated. Sweating bloody tears was just a figure of speech for how hard nurses work today what with the patient loads and the fact that patients are...
Funny how words can be twisted around. I never said drug addicted nurses aren't worthy. I said get help, get in recovery, and then get a nursing job where there isn't a need to be exposed to narcotics. Of course all those things are true. No one ...
As a nurse who worked with a nurse last year who was diverting narcotics I can tell you that I greatly resented being put in that postion of working with that nurse, depending on them at night as integral part of the healthcare team, and not knowing ...
Yes it can get worse. But I am so proud of you for not whining or saying you are thinking of quitting. And I'm also proud that you had him for a patient. Most of the students I have had seem to always take all the walkie-talkies. What's the learn...

Hilton Healthcare, LOL! I need a nurse NOW!!!......would you raise my head up a little. No, that's too much! Down a little. No, up a little. No, down a little. Down a little more.......there. Now, would you pull my blanket over a little more, ...
hmmmmm, stay at the old place with a wealth of seasoned nurses (so good that no one will leave) or go to the new place with 90% agency nurses (so bad that they can't get anyone to work there as full-time staff).

First of all remember that knowledge is power, then comes the self confidence. Focus on doing the best job, no matter what your job is, and you will be amazed at the changes in your self confidence. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. ...
