   sadbuthappy replied to sadbuthappy's topic in NICU

   The fact that you guys have an ethics team is extremely reassuring. I thought I wanted to get a nicu nurse butthe ethics of some cases frightens me but if I was in a lower acuity nicu like level 2 or had a scenario like yours where there is an ethics...

2. Are you conflicted? Ethics in the NICU

   sadbuthappy posted a topic in NICU

   I read this book called Baby at RiskI'm really hoping for a discussion. This book was published in 2006 so it's quite old given how fast medicine moves. And it has me conflicted about the history and how treatment is decided in the NICU. But I wanted...

3. Do They Think I'm Old?

   sadbuthappy replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

   I would want to retire by 65. I hate that the economy is so bad and there is such a surplus of labor that people can't retire. I mean it's different if you want to work but I guess I had a different picture in mind. The world has changed a lot. Retir...

4. Health care administration - non nurses

   sadbuthappy replied to nutella's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry but I don't think it necessary that they need to have clinical experience. No offense but this seems just like more lobbying about how nurses are needed at every position. Nurses can make great administrators but non nurses can too

8. Nursing or Speech Pathology

   sadbuthappy replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing adminstration pays very well (frankly better than SLP)and your MBA experience would really shine through. And again the options in nursing makes it a no brainer in my opinion. Plus speech pathology programs are very expensive while most nurs...

9. Is it worth it to go get your MS in Clinical Informatics?

   sadbuthappy replied to jlw777's topic in General Nursing

   It also depends how well you excel on the program. If you do good in this field and excel then it would be worth it. IT people can make a lot. However it more about skills and excelling in the career rather than getting the degree. I know a lot peopl...

    sadbuthappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been having this fear since late 2011 and it has really held me back academically, socially,etc. I don't know it's this fear of people belittling, putting me down, passive aggressive behavior. And since nursing can have more of this behavior (...
