    How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I thought it was a bit over the top. A few suggestions and maybe another practice attempt would have been more helpful. Alas, that was the teaching style of that particular instructor....

    One skill that I've always wished I had was IV insertion. My current job doesn't provide this opportunity and my nursing program didn't provide any training regarding this, except for a one time...

    I feel like the “I quit looking” mentality never really works for me either. I think it’s because I never actually quit looking? In other words, I expect something when I least expect it. Kind...

    Why am I in the wrong field if I do not wish for CPR? Must all nurses maintain a Full Code status? Seems silly to me. I just don’t want coworkers wasting their time with CPR should something...

    What you're saying makes sense. I'm considering an acute med-surg position. All my experience is in LTC/SNF so might be a good time to expand and get some more acute experience. My only hesitation...

    Yeah. It's not really a surprise that the answer was a no, though. Would have been unrealistic or unreasonable to expect that the first application would result in a job offer, so not really a big...

    Update: No success in the job hunt. Turned down for an admissions nurse role at another facility. Didn't realize admissions roles were so lucrative. Can't seem to get anyone to consider me...

    And who knows? Maybe having biological children isn’t such a good option for me. I’ve lived with severe, chronic depression and anxiety for nearly 20 years or 2/3 of my life. I have to wonder...

    I would not wish for my coworkers to be reported to any board due to respecting my wishes. Are we absolutely sure there would no way be to assure them no BLS is the right option? Would save a lot of...

    Thanks for the feedback. I know you said you wouldn’t say what I wanted to hear, but at this point, I don’t even know what I want or want to hear. Sometimes the truth is blunt as well. I’ve...

    It appears that my journey to obtaining DNR/DNI status will be more difficult than thought. I've already had several doctors decline to sign any documents...and it sounds like there's a good chance...

    Also the fact that the "Add Friend" option is gone does make me wonder if she found out about me and chose to block any friendship requests or if it's just because she doesn't want friend requests...

    Shoot, so it sounds as if I were to code at work, someone would probably perform CPR since I am not a patient at the facility. I doubt I would have any family that would tell them to stop

    All day, everyday, all week. I've probably drank 3,600 pops in the last 12 months. Maybe that 3,601st is the one that will finally cause that something to happen.

    No good reason other than I've always seen myself as different from everyone else. Relieved to finally have this out in the open. Surely, this explains a lot

    That's right. It's not too common to have patients who were never married, although, of course, it has happened. However, we do accept quite a few patients who have deceased spouses. I doubt most,...

    Depends. For some patients, a referral to the social worker and an outpatient therapy appointment may be appropriate. For others, a call to 911 and sending them into the ER if they are needing...

    I figure if a code happens, it happens. At this time, I am single and childless so there's no real incentive for me to prevent any emergency of any kind. Unless, of course, said emergency involves...
