1. Med Surg right after graduation?

   KSELRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

   I did almost a year of med/surg after graduating, and I'm glad I did. It actually wasn't my first choice of jobs, but I really liked the hospital and decided to just do med/surg even though I wasn't crazy about it. I learned a lot of the basics, ti...

2. How Do I Know If I Can Handle Hospice?

   KSELRN replied to tencat's topic in Hospice

   You've gotten some great replies so far. I started out in hospice with only 1 yr. experience as an RN. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do! I do mostly hospice admissions, which tends to be a little different than what the case managers do ...

3. I's/O's...

6. Sleeping on The Job?

   KSELRN replied to pam78's topic in General Nursing

   It's possible that the nurse could have narcolepsy... kind of unlikely, but possible! Narcoleptics do fall asleep like that, even if they are completely rested. I have been researching narcolepsy lately, because I think I may have it... and it's v...

7. Being a stay-at-home mom and an RN?

   KSELRN replied to KSELRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks so much for the words of encouragement! Even though these are the things I tell myself practically every day, it's nice to hear it from an outside source!

8. Being a stay-at-home mom and an RN?

   KSELRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everyone! I'm having kind of a hard time right now with my career choice, and just need to hear about others who might be in or used to be in the same situation. I'm an RN, and I graduated nursing school in '02. I worked almost a year (med/surg...
