   Yes, it really is a whole different animal. HUGE learning curve. My only frustration/regret? is that I started in this position about a week before COVID exploded back in March. It hasn't been the most fun trying to learn this position on t...

   Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for your comments. This helps a lot, but unfortunatly too many people, including my parents, and others have recommended that I no longer go back to bedside nursing. I am a believer in Jesus (yes, I understand that many are not and wouldn't...

   Thank you for your comments. I am quite introverted, but I wouldn't necessarily say that i have poor communication skills or don't fit socially. I do fine in a retail setting, but financially and career goal wise, I don't see myself doing something l...

8. Considering ICU.... among several other options

   Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

   That is what I am currently trying to do. I don't know what my career goals are now. I am honestly lost as the only thing I have EVER wanted to do (bedside nursing) apparently is not a safe option for me to continue in. I am lost. I know there are so...

13. MDS Nursing

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, yes, that is an issue with a lot of the office jobs. Doesn’t quite look that way with MDS. The problem is I literally can’t get more bedside experience. I have tried three places now and all of them have essentially said I don’t have the crit...

    Hello All! I have posted some of my story on here, but long story short, it is looking like I will need to leave bedside nursing. As much as I hate the idea, by brain just isn't wired for the critical thinking/judgement that on the fly/floor nursing ...
