    Is it wise to work from home?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like something I would do. I worry about work and patients who aren't doing well even on days I am gone. In theory, I'd like to be able to monitor patients, even from afar, with the...

    I'm way too scared to even start. I need help

    SilverBells replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    You remind me of myself quite a bit. I completely understand how depressing it can be to see others pursue things you’d like or have experiences you want. You were smart to deactivate your social...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    One of those things where if I cannot be a wife or a mom, I might as well pour myself into my job, be committed, and do a good job at it. All these engagements, weddings, baby announcements, and new...

    Another 18 hour shift. As much as I'd love a baby, not sure how it would work coming home to a little one who wakes up every 3

    Is working too much bad for your health?

    SilverBells replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you work LTC/SNF? If so, this line of nursing can burn you out and quickly between constant short staffing, patients that aren't as medically stable as outsiders, and more work/tasks...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the articles. I realize there is not much anyone online can do. Anyway, No suggestions from therapist yet as she isn’t aware of any of these issues and no open appointments until the...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    FYI: All three of them will be fine and likely happier than myself. Anyway, I have no intention of directly contacting any of them, for this would do no good. For him, I'm irrelevant. To her, she...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If it helps to hear, I can assure you that motherhood is not even close in my near future. Sadly, it may be something I never experience. Yes, I know you mentioned avoiding comparisons, but it really...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't necessarily say that I don't want him to be happy; I just had hoped it would be with me. It's sad to know that I wasn't a source of happiness for him. I've mentioned before, I think, that...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I probably misspoke when I wrote about feeling "proud" in a relationship. We did love each other, but being in a relationship also made me feel better about myself. All around me, family and friends...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted both a relationship and a career along with babies but he didn't want to wait around for me to get my degree. I'm now seeing that going for my Master's degree was a mistake. Instead of...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I've thought about it. Doing so runs the risk of people thinking even poorly of me than they already do though. It also solidifies that there is no chance of us getting back together and the only...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Probably. It's hard to find any therapists for adults, many of them in my area only want to see children or adolescents. It's also difficult to not look at pictures of the beautiful baby since my...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Wondering how long it takes to get over seeing other peoples' babies without feeling sad and/or even angry? My ex's baby is 2 months old and I'm still upset about it. I've spent all day looking...

    Nurses Keeping Venomous Snakes as Pets

    SilverBells posted a topic in Animal Lovers's Animal Lovers

    The other day, an odd conversation started at work. For whatever reason, a discussion regarding snake bites and their treatment was started, even though the likelihood of having to treat any of our...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe. Nothing will change the fact that I'm not the mother of this baby, so I cannot be helped this way. Usually, babies are a source of happiness for people. However, this little one has caused...

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

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday, I picked up a shift at my secondary job where my ex and I used to work together. For the most part, coworkers didn't bring him up with me and he wasn't working yesterday, so I didn't have...

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in Animal Lovers's Animal Lovers

    LOL, the idea of anyone keeping a venomous snake as a pet is very strange indeed. ? However, snake bites are very real and can cause serious medical complications depending on the severity of the...

    allnurses bleed

    SilverBells replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to let AllNurses bleed into my real life simply because I don't necessarily want coworkers or family to know that I use the website. With that said, I'm sure they could easily identify me...

    New job offer, should I accept?

    SilverBells replied to HolliRN234's topic in General Nursing

    You could take the job and maybe work PRN in a more acute setting if you wanted the best of both worlds? I know this position would be Monday through Friday, but if you're not entirely sure you're...
