Will be thinking about you in your uniform and what it means. Congratulations on those many years of nursing!

Greetings to you - welcome to this spot.

So glad you shared your good news! Congratulations. And yes you are inspiring. All the best in your career.

I still feel awkward talking about money, not sure when that developed - whether it was during nursing or perhaps earlier. Now I am getting better at discussing money and although there are things I would do voluntarily, by my own choice, I do expect...

And here's my support for you too - you've lots to cope with, hopefully things are getting better.

Here's what I would do - in order to avoid unnecessary embarassment for the person, privately mention what you've noticed directly to her. It's like having your slip showing - wouldn't you rather that someone tell you about it, instead of just tellin...

I've accepted small gifts from patients and I believe they reflected patients' appreciation - a decorative box, a pair of earrrings, a rose.

Hi Jason - you're motivated, you can do it! All the best.

If she's calling your references, it sounds like she's interested because she's taking the time to do this. Good luck.

All these years I always wanted to be smarter. Yet, in my job my co-workers and supervisors often complimented my work. I've been offered jobs because people said they liked the way I worked. What does supersmart mean? You have to care about people ...

Celebration!! I remember observing in the delivery room and doing my clinical in the nursery.

You can do it.! I worked part-time evenings during my nursing education and usually got As, a couple of Bs. I think that your ability to organize your time, develop effective study skills, set priorities, and maintain a motivated/positive approach w...

So nice to hear - you seem to be a person who is motivated and will take the initiative to help. This is something I often noticed about many of my co-workers - they often offered to help when they noticed something to be done. Such good examples and...

I am aware of an art therapist who works with clients in an eating disorders clinic. Would you like any further information?

Learn from the mistakes, and of course always check. Unfortunately many people make mistakes, some never even realize. In an elderly patient's home I once discovered that the pharmacist had dispensed Haldol 50.0 mg tabs instead of the prescribed Hald...

Be objective, logical. After arriving at a new patient's home for a.m. insulin, but there was no insulin in the home, I decided that in future I would phone new patients the day ahead to ask if they had their prescription filled (some thought that th...

Good afternoon Mlpyfee34 and welcome.

Hi and another welcome.

Hi Zoe Like those pictures!

Hi Paula I sent you a pm about starting. Hope the ideas are of some help.

In my neighborhood, an older woman, a nurse herself, started an nursing agency, it has been successful for many years. Another acquaintance had started a nursing agency - highly successful. One local RN has her own ad in the yellow pages offering her...

Here's a memory I like - a home visit to an elderly lady, a stranger to me, my last home visit on a Friday afternoon, I was late after a long day. Didn't know the lady who was sleeping on the front porch. Helped her with her care, chatted a bit, she ...

Good to hear you were offered the job. All the best.

I didn't work in a rural area, I had worked in a large city, and put on the miles (and time) by getting on an expressway that didn't have an exit where I needed it, then had to find my way back. Thankfully, most days weren't like that. Have a happy n...
