  7. Impaired Nurses

    LaVorneRN replied to SR@csi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree. When I saw "impaired nurse" I clicked on it because I thought it meant the nurse in the predicament I'm in. I am physically impaired at the moment and thought this was about options for...

    LaVorneRN replied to roxannekkb's topic in General Nursing

  13. Suffering burnout already in Oncology?

    LaVorneRN replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked oncology for many years too and while I love it, it's not for everyone. There are too many areas of nursing for you to get the feel of burnout so early. Maybe you should leave oncology...

    That "I am God" mentality may work for you as the patient. My attorney has actually compared himself with God too(we'll see-I'll let ya'll know if we get that 2 million he keeps saying we deserve)....

  19. Nurses, do you routinely do beds and baths?

    LaVorneRN replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    LaVorneRN replied to angiebaby's topic in General Nursing

    LaVorneRN replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing
