    DahliaDaisy replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Jeepers, and to think I was considering starting my own post, on a somewhat related topic! Bullet dodged, and I'm sure I'll get flack for these few sentences LOL! I joined back in 2007 when even...

  3. Documentation

    DahliaDaisy replied to LovingLife123's topic in General Nursing

    As a new nurse, I've already come to sadly accept that most of my time will be spent writing ABOUT my patients rather than, you know, actually taking care of them. They might as well put law classes...

    DahliaDaisy replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse as well, graduated in Dec. 2018 and started in March at our local state psych facility. I'm a bit older and went into NS knowing I wanted to do psych. I think my "favorite" part is...

    DahliaDaisy replied to Clover19's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^THIS, is all brilliant advice and I wish I had read it before I started! In hindsight though, I probably wouldn't have understood it, and the reasons behind it nearly as well as I do now. #4 is...

  7. Wanting to Quit Nursing School

    DahliaDaisy replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

    And what is wrong with that? I entered nursing school in my 40's KNOWING I wanted only to go into psych and/or addictions nursing. I too enjoy the academics and have consistently high scores on the...

  8. First clinical nightmare

    DahliaDaisy replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in General Students

  9. First clinical nightmare

    DahliaDaisy replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in General Students

  12. Advice for Clinicals?

    DahliaDaisy replied to Transfer_Student's topic in General Students

    Everyone above gave you great advice, and I can't agree enough with the part about "befriending" the aids! They are less stressed than the nurses and know all of the ins and out, I have found them to...

  13. Chances and Advice on getting in?!

    DahliaDaisy replied to niajasmine98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DahliaDaisy replied to CarolynB1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DahliaDaisy replied to DahliaDaisy's topic in General Nursing

  20. do you think students who got kicked out of NS, were for a good reason?

    DahliaDaisy replied to Skippy97's topic in General Students

    It should be such, that if anyone were to fail out of the program, no one would know the reason why except for themselves and the director/committee that dismissed them. A few people I started with...
