1. Why do we eat our young?

   jreynrn replied to jreynrn's topic in Relations

   I agree with everything you've all said, I do. When I posted this initially, I just felt so bad for her. I was not blaming or accusing seasoned nurses of being abusive, I'm a seasoned nurse myself. Nor was I trying to imply that the young nurse was a...

   jreynrn replied to Superstar1182's topic in General Nursing

   I'm still stuck on a preceptor who has only been a nurse for 3 months themselves. Um, call me silly, but having only been a nurse for 3 months, shouldn't he/she still be precepted themselves???? And the whole idea of have a preceptor is to learn. You...

3. Why do we eat our young?

   jreynrn posted a topic in Relations

   I'm a float pool nurse at my hospital so I bounce around, a lot. Wherever they need me, I go. So I'm pretty well known around the hospital, favorably, thank goodness. The past few months, I was pretty regular on one unit and had the pleasure of worki...

4. LPN/RN ...Is it all the same? Please Advise!

   jreynrn replied to j464335's topic in General Nursing

   I was never an LPN, but I feel I can confidently say you experience the same things as an RN as well. I am per diem right now and so burned out with bedside nursing. Just the other day, I felt like I was on an island by myself. I was working with a b...

9. Anyone had serious doubts...about nursing and about self?

   jreynrn replied to zephyr9's topic in Spirituality

   Let me start by saying this, the medical field, in of itself, is chuck full of egos. It's not just nursing. With that said, I know exactly what you mean about big egos being rewarded in nursing school. I used to think getting into nursing school was...

    jreynrn replied to tua42321's topic in Job Hunt

    Long term care facilities are always looking for help. They can be a great place to start. LTC's have come a long way and now many of these facilities have sub-acute units or transitional care units that will give you the experience you are looking f...
