Hi everyone! I have been a nurse for two years but only have 8 months of ER experience due to taking time off to complete my BSN full-time (I had my ADN when I first became a nurse). I love the ER but did not love the burnout I experienced less than a year into the job. I experienced a depressive episode while at work and long story short, I am currently in therapy and I believe it was due to a situational experience at work. I have an irrational fear I am going to experience another depressive episode with a new job. I am currently looking for a job. I have always dreamed of working in the NICU, so I thought maybe now would be a good time to pursue this dream. I wanted to start by going to work PT and then eventually FT. What specialty do you work in? Why do you love it or why do you hate it? Thank you in advance for taking the time out to reply and read this!!

Thank you! I’ll definitely check it out!

Good idea! Thank you again!

Thank you!!

Hi Everyone! I'm in the process of purchasing scrubs, shoes, and a stethoscope for my clinical starting in January. Excuse me while I scream because I finally made it to this point! I need to purchase a stethoscope that does NOT have a floating diaphragm. I tried looking up what that means but I don't know what that means. So if someone could explain that would be appreciated. But my main question is do you prefer the Classic III or Cardiology IV by Littman? Which one can you hear better with? Thank you in advance! I appreciate it!

Thank you so much! That's such a good idea. Never even thought to try that out!

Hi everyone! I start my clinical rotations for nursing school next semester. I need to purchase a pair of shoes. They need to be slip resistant, and non permeable, so liquids don't seep through. They have to either be all white, or all black! I have a wide foot, so I need something that I can order/purchase in wide or extra wide! Thank you all in advance- I appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to reply!
