    Odd rituals at work

    Journey_On replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    old new grads (May 2009) - check in

    Journey_On replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To me, it was very stressful. Each nurse carried around a phone, and I would feel a sense of annoyance whenever it rang because it felt like it was ringing all day and interrupting me many times. I...

    do you skip your lunch break routinely?

    Journey_On replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    I do not skip my lunch breaks. I don't think skipping lunch breaks is a good idea for me personally. I get very irritable when I eat lunch too late, and I am more likely to make mistakes. That is not...
