    The Impact of Christmas

    Absolutely beautiful. Just because we're away from our families during holidays (and any other time, for that matter) doesn't mean we can't have fun and make lasting memories with our
  5. I get you want to keep your business away from other staff, but really? You couldn't give her a few minutes of your time? No offense, but I would not want a nurse like you taking care of me, man...
  6. By this logic, would they expect the full-timer to never get sick or need a day off? This job sounds shifty. It's a big no from me.
  7. I bombed my exam today, I got a 70%. The good news is that I only need a 66% on my final to pass. I'm feeling very low right now though. Disappointed in myself for

    Do you ever wonder...

    I feel this way sometimes. I go to work at the nursing home and go "Okay, now it's all on me?" and it doesn't feel real. Soon I'll feel the same way with my

    I'm Not Going To Be A Nurse!

    This is a very interesting thread! I had a job at Dunkin' Donuts for awhile. I worked there, and finally got my driver's license after my boyfriend taught me how to drive. Being in school for...

    Anyone here who loves bedside nursing?

    I love bedside nursing! I currently do rehab and LTC. Can't wait to become an RN and possibly do hospital specialties and med

    Super Unhappy New Grad RN, HELP. Advice needed.

    More opportunities lie in nursing home! Long-term care and SNF (rehab etc) facilities are very predictable, and they tend to pay pretty well. They're always hiring too, so you'd be a shoe-in!...

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    Nowadays, it seems to open more doors than close them. I guess I wouldn't say I'm "excited" for it. ?‍♂️ I also need it for my job and nursing school, so I guess it's the "golden

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    I'd imagine people who leave their job due to the mandate will have a very hard time finding a new job, unless they lied on the reason they left their past job. It's only going to get more and more...

    Syringe Disaster

    I can completely relate, as I have s/sx of bipolar type 1 and I'm on meds for it. I've also had a similar heparin incident. Just know that you can only do your best. We all make mistakes. It's a shame...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Flat out, all nursing school cares about is if you can pass exams/the NCLEX. Nothing else. That's

    Fear of going back

    I go back to school in three weeks for my second semester out of three for my RN. I originally failed this semester due to being a bad test taker. I'm just not sure how to get over this fear of doing...

    Nurses: Respect or Money? What Matters Most?

    I like the idea that money = respect (or at least part of it). Have you ever been somewhere where they refuse to pay you more? The respect goes out the

    Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    I, as a "baby" nurse, personally love it. Some days can be super hard. The things you see, hear and deal with can be so hard. Management can suck, but not always! I'm personally on my way to get...

    Thinking of quitting CNA Job

    I agree with SmilingBluEyes. I would try to quit on good terms, as much as you can. Just so you don't burn a bridge. But this sounds like my part-time CNA job while I was in LPN school. It's not worth...
