  4. My name is Tweety and I'm an Alcoholic

    Guest 260512 replied to Tweety's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Welcome, Prodigal. It sounds like you're taking a healthy chunk of responsibility. There's a lot of story in the little bit you posted; lots of "wreckage" along with its pain and grieving. Hang in...

  7. Hardest part of nursing?

    Guest 260512 replied to RyanL's topic in General Nursing

    Guest 260512 replied to ltmja's topic in Men in Nursing

    First profession for me. 32 years ago it was pretty rare. I was working nights as a janitor. I had dropped out of high school because I was living on my own and needed to support myself. Nurses on...

  11. Nurses and addictions

    Guest 260512 replied to BeachBayNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Personally, I never needed to be abused in order to need a fix. I know that the stresses of our profession contribute to and trigger a lot of dysfunction. A lot of what you point out above seems to...

  14. Is Joint Commission more hindrance than help?

    Guest 260512 replied to oldiebutgoodie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they are accomplishing what they hope or think they are. I don't think they are pure evil either. Also, an incidental problem is that health care entities themselves resort to paperwork...

    Guest 260512 replied to Tweety's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You Rock. Seeing an Admin be forthright here has a lot to do with my joining this Web site, and this forum in general. I have been watching allnurses for some time. Your post brought me through the...

  16. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Guest 260512 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    "Preemies don't eat corn!" LMAO! Would this talk of variety and choices be a good time to jump in with a discussion of the relationship between multiple marriages and multiple nursing roles? (Just...

  18. Roll Call

    Guest 260512 replied to Tweety's topic in Men in Nursing

    OK. I'll admit it in case it's not obvious from text. Go Team Testosterone! This serves as my intro post to allnurses. My areas of experience list would best not be aired here. Critical Care areas...
