   LalaRN9000 posted a topic in NP Students

   I went into nursing to specifically pursue psych nursing. I love it, it's rewarding, always super interesting to me. I know it is hard and not for everyone, there was a reason I left after 3 years. After changing to med/surg I think about applying to...

2. Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

   Considering the difference in perception, knowledge and acceptance of trans folks has changed completely even in the last couple years, 9 years ago it would have been a totally different experience entirely. Plus, even if one does get surgery, it doe...

3. Bill Approved to Limit Treatment for Transgender Youth

   LalaRN9000 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Headlines

   The government should not be able to dictate or penalize how medical professionals think or practice. They decide what is the appropriate plan of care for their patient, not the state. SD is a conservative state with politicians who are uncomforta...

   LalaRN9000 replied to herring_RN's topic in Talk Politics

   In my opinion, no health care provider should be able to refuse care on any grounds, unless there is some concern of a safety issue. As a member of the GLBT community, most of the comments are very offensive and ill informed. But, you have the right ...

7. Can I be a nurse even though I can be shy and quiet?

   LalaRN9000 replied to Camjayjayy's topic in School Programs

   I have also been shy/introverted my whole life. Like everyone has said, the more you do it the easier it gets. There are also opportunities that have less patient interaction, depending on what area you want to go into. In my experience, when I conne...

8. Doctor upset by charting

   LalaRN9000 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work in mental health and sometimes distraught parents have unreasonable demands and expectations. Obviously this isn't a surprise when you're a nurse but I am just curious what other nurses would do in this situation. My co-worker was talking to ...
