  1. So long Nursing

    LaurieCRNP2002 replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Hello all! First, to Realnurse, I wish you the best of luck in your new endeavor. To terriv, if you still enjoy nursing, consider going back to school to move into another area. At present, I am...

  2. Malpractice insurance

    LaurieCRNP2002 replied to allevi's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster...NO WAY would I count on the hospital's policy to cover me! If you get sued (usually along with the hospital), of course the hospital has to cover you. Don't doubt...

  7. Is no news good news?

    LaurieCRNP2002 replied to Karen Cicero's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I am a nurse who works in an acute care setting, so I'm not necessarily familiar with "office nursing". However, my general feeling is that patients should be contacted about the results of...

  8. How long did you stay on your first nursing job?

    LaurieCRNP2002 replied to Linda J's topic in General Nursing

    Linda--if you can, I would recommend trying to stay in your current job for a year. However, if it's absolutely intolerable, then go for the change! Obviously other people have left positions after...
