Thanks Tanya RN !! I checked out AMEN and am now a member, I am also going back to Vegas for a mesotherapy certification workshop. I am working in a clinic and would like to eventually work like you-as an independant contractor. I have priced bec...

BLESS YOU ! May God be with you and your family don't stress, giving into stress makes you weak. I myself am not in the military, however have worked with many military wives and officers..... time is precious and family/friends are irreplaceable ......

F Y I, I know you are going through alot, however once in the "real world of nursing" you WILL have resources, pharmacist, and calculated out spread sheats for calc's, not including IV pumps with calc's on them also! You can also carry around a "chea...

I myself do tatoo removal however love tats and question if this could be grounds for descrimination? I understand professionalism yet, also believe a person with a unsightly scar or disfigurement would necessarily interfer with employment due to o...

I have been a travel R.N. the past 5 years and have found the hospitals that offer their own training with extra pay for their already staffed RN's to assist training-via accrediated schools to students for a 2-4 year contract payback scholarship pro...

Bless your heart!! I do feel your pain and concern. I my self love PACU, it can be intense at times yet you are in an open room full of staff never without some-one if not everyone knowing your pt. You do not have to deal with the same pt's daily, un...

LET ME JUST LET US ALL RECOGNIZE "CO-DEPENDENCY" I AGREE!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT NURSES TEND TO BE or BECOME THE SOLE PROVIDERS AND HAVE MANY PERSONAL REALATIONSHIP ISSUES...caring tooooo much can often be recognized as weakness in predators! However, I...

I really can't say, I was a teen pregnant mother looking for a career in which I would NEVER have to depend on a man and wouldn't take years out of my life to obtain. This option opened up opportunities of what I though then was good $, ability to ch...

If I am truely sleep deprived it is like driving drunk, not only are you compromising patient care but you may be risking getting to and home from work. I worked in PACU were we had to take call many nights and turn around and report for our schedul...

ABSOLUTELY YES! I have had several patient who were chronic pain patients on narcotics unbelievably their tolerance was mind bogling to me. Many have told me if they could have some medical marijuana it would relieve their overall anxiety, pain, and...

I do think depending on the area of nursing and the hours can definately be unhealthy. I myself made a promise to step out of nursing when I became "burnt out" which was 9years of PACU and ICU and OPEN HEART Recovery. The hours were never what they...

We all must remember WE are human. We have to care for ourself as we do others, honest is a personal value each individual is accounted for. My believe is "what comes around goes around" and eventually this will catch up to that person. It is our res...
