    LikeSweetSoulMusic replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nessa - I promise you it gets better. I used to feel physically ill throughout most of my orientation and especially the day or two before I went out on my own, but I promise, it gets better. You can...

    LikeSweetSoulMusic replied to Gentle Giant's topic in General Nursing

    I relate a lot to this post and knew I was a highly sensitive person even before I took the assessment. As a new grad on a busy tele floor, I do get easily overwhelmed... especially with multiple...
