  1. How long to work in one place?

    EDNURSE20 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's good to move around, especially since you are working in such a small hospital. Every hosiptal has different ways of doing things, some you will like some you won't. But it all adds to...

  2. New qualified nurse. Legs and KILLING me

    EDNURSE20 replied to SallyRi's topic in General Nursing

    I wear sketchers too and have no problem. I remember my first time the hospital as a student I had this problem, found stretching after a shift helped a lot. But luckily I got used to it as a student,...

  5. Failed last semester and it hurts

    EDNURSE20 replied to HopefulRNtay's topic in General Students

    I agree with OP. to be that close to graduating and have it all taken away Is really hard. Have a little compassion. She is still trying cope with this, calling her a whiner isn't going to help...

  7. Unfair Fundamentals Clinical Testing?

    EDNURSE20 replied to jbernardo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You repeatedly said you don't know what an enema is, which is one of the skills you were expected to complete, yet think it's unfair why you failed??? Did you even go to class? Or practise? You were...

  8. 4 shifts of orientation for new grad

    EDNURSE20 replied to questioningnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. ER nurse looking for a change.

    EDNURSE20 replied to jarielle22's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to Skakuntala's topic in General Nursing

  12. Can nurses live a luxurious life?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say luxurious per say. But you can buy a decent house and car. Do some travelling. And maybe even buy the odd nice thing (designer bags and shoes is what comes to my mind). But it depends...

  13. Ask me anything, Australian RN here

    EDNURSE20 replied to rajo's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Is working in Australia all its cracked up to be? I'm from nz and keep hearing about how much more Australian nurses make and all the benifets they get. So is it worth it? Do you now if there's any...

  15. How do you discuss gender issues with adolescents?

    EDNURSE20 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing
