  2. Go Fund Me for Co-workers?

    Having just recently lost both of my parents I can say that $20,000 is extravagant. My family decided to cash in my parents plots and have them cremated (parent wishes) and place their ashes in a niche. Spent about half 10,000 for both. It helped hav...
  3. Being Managed By Someone Younger

    The way I look at it, I'm younger in experience when it comes to nursing. I'm 39, 13 months experience RN, sometimes I have a 24yr old charge nurse with 3 yrs experience. I have life experience, (not that young people don't), but she's older nursing ...
  4. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    I was 34 when I left the movie biz, I packed up my bags and left Hollywood, came back home and started prerequisites right away. I graduated in 2015 at 37, just finished my first year in my new career and just turned 39.

  8. Not the rudest, but the latest. "How long have you been a nurse?". I respond 6 months. "It shows". Same pt was upset bc her ice melted when I brought her water.
  9. What do you hate most about your job?

    Silly thing that others me, I work in the ED, when women want to be so modest and tie their gown so that I practically have to rip it open to put the ekg monitors on. Or when they get up to go to the bathroom and their leads are in places I shouldn't...
