  1. New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    Just PM'd you!
  2. Med/Surg to NICU - thinking of making the switch

    Wow, thank you SO much for your post! I appreciate all the info and your personal experiences and insights. So many of the things that you mentioned resonate with me in terms of wanting to make the switch to a more specialized area...I think that I...
  3. Hi all, So I've been working in an acute med/surg setting for just over two years now. Though I feel like there will always be something new to learn in nursing, I have the desire to try out a different specialty - my plan has always been to do 1-2 y...

  5. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    I can also understand how the OP feels, and I don't think it's kind for her to be bashed because she chose to voice her opinion. Yes, there are many individuals out there who absolutely love bedside nursing, but there are just as many who don't - an...
  6. I don't want to be a quitter.

    OP, I feel for you. I recently wrote a post about feelings of anxiety, depression and hopelessness (I'm a new grad - only been working for a year). I am experiencing a lot of the same things you are - I constantly worry about things I've missed, fe...
  7. New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    Wb808, I definitely agree that I can get paralyzed by my anxiety a lot of the time. I've booked an appointment with a different therapist for this week, and am hoping to work with them to think more positively, stop over analyzing things, and to dec...
  8. I must vent...

    Sorry this happened to you I find constantly working with so many different health care professionals can often be tough, especially when you're not recognized for the hard and amazing work you do as a nurse!
  9. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    Some people are just more brash and blunt than others. I recently wrote a post about new grad anxiety and received lots of love, support and guidance, some tough love and blunt responses, as well as some suggestions that I didn't agree with. I coul...
  10. Got the Job!!! (Health Dept.)

    I know this is a much older posting, but as an RN who is working towards being a public health nurse, I just wanted to say that it's so great to see so many postings about how much public health nurses enjoy the work they do! Hoping to join all of y...
  11. Transition from Gen Surg RN to Public Health RN?

    I'm in the same position as you - RN working in BC, have been in med/surg for just over a year now, and only have a semester of public health experience from nursing school. I've talked to several different people, including the manager of a public ...
  12. Working as a Community Nurse as a new grad

    I'm not a public health nurse, but it is my goal to become one as soon as possible! I graduated from nursing school in late 2013, and have been working in med/surg for the past year, to consolidate my skills. I was going to suggest the same thing a...

  14. New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    Curious1alwys, I tried to reply to your PM but apparently I have to have "15 quality postings" in order to send PMs back so that they can verify I'm not a robot or something? I won't reply in too much detail here, and will send my PM reply as soon a...
  15. New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    I'm truly overwhelmed with all the thoughtful and supportive comments from everyone...I have definitely always been my own harshest critic, and I think that's one of the biggest contributors to my anxiety and feelings of depression and hopelessness. ...
