    Wendy_RN replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wendy_RN replied to awwood's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in May, so I do not have a lot of "words of wisdom" that some of the others on this board can offer you. I can tell you that I see now where a med/surg background is beneficial no matter...

  7. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    Wendy_RN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I am not flaming you in anyway, but I have to agree with the others who have responded. Nursing school is stressful. You cannot imagine what it is like for the student and their family unless you...

  10. What's your Littmann stethescope of choice?

    Wendy_RN replied to dano's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  13. Should I look for another job - advice needed

    Wendy_RN replied to Wendy_RN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Should I look for another job - advice needed

    Wendy_RN replied to Wendy_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It is unfortunate that there are nurses that choose to treat new grads this way. I don't understand what satisfaction they gain from it. I know a lot of people get upset when you mention "nurses...

  15. Should I look for another job - advice needed

    Wendy_RN replied to Wendy_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You are right about the self-esteem issue. That was actually brought up during one of my "confrontations" with this individual. I did not have an issue with my self-esteem (or at least I did not...

  16. Non-Hospital jobs for new grads

    Wendy_RN replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't let the incident that happened during clinicals keep you from doing something you really want. Besides, a med error could occur in a physician's office as well. Do what is going to make...

    Wendy_RN replied to Wendy_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wendy_RN replied to slingamabob's topic in General Nursing

    Wendy_RN replied to testikleez's topic in General Nursing

    I work what is considered the 12 hour evening shift at my facility, 11A-11P. Personally, I really like the shift. I am not an early morning person, so I don't have to go during the early morning...

  22. Relocating to NC

    Wendy_RN replied to flutterbee's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Heather, Shelby is a nice place. It all depends on what you are looking for. Shelby is probably the most "small town" of the three choices. It is going to be a little closer to the mountains, which...

  23. Relocating to NC

    Wendy_RN replied to flutterbee's topic in North Carolina Nursing
