I was wondering what your opinion is... I'm currently in a job that is causing much stress, dreading going to work, upset stomach and good old diarrhea. Nursing burnout. I have applied to a few other jobs, in a different capacity, interviewed and kno...

Well as I have previously posted, I took that job and it was overwhelming in the beginning. Any hoo, lastweek I decided to tell the administrator that I'm feeling more comfortable doing them and things were going better. (after 3 weeks of doing them)...

I was an LPN for 14 years working mainly in LTC, homecare and as an agencynurse. Returning back to school for my RN, I anticipated working in a hospital as a "real nurse". The pay was about $8.00 less than the nursing home and I lasted 7 months in ou...

Thanks to all who replied. I really appreciate the support. Last night went much better. Those 2 cnas were up passing waters, linens, toileting residents and actually doing their job throughout the shift. No sitting around for 2 hours or even an hou...
