    Substance abusers disillusion me...

    chevyv replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think many nurses come here and post when they are stressed. It helps to vent so they can continue. Psych nursing is not for everyone and many admit it. I couldn't do surgery, just not my thing....

    SSI is for people that are disabled according to federal standards. These standards may not be what some are thinking. My son receives SSI for a heart defect and I too can only work a certain...

    Should I quit Nursing School???

    chevyv replied to sns501's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Always family first. Your son will only be this age once. Enjoy him, every minute of every day and when he's in school full time, then you go back to school. If you feel the need to stay in school,...

    Substance abusers disillusion me...

    chevyv replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that when you work with pts that are difficult, its just hard to be sensitive all the time. It doesn't mean that you don't care. Quite the opposite actually. There are just times when you...

    YEA for YOU!!!!!! Most people feel the exact same way. It's a horrible wait. Even if you go into it thinking 'I'll see what happens, no stress', you will still check the site every hour hoping to...

    I wish you the best. Depression makes life a bit more difficult and many people just don't understand. Can you prove that you were canned for this? If you called in due to your depression, do you...

    DNR questions... Family vs Patient wishes.

    chevyv replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I asked the same question when I was new to ICU and was told that when families take over and insist on bagging the dnr, the doc's go along with it because they are covering their own

    Is nursing really that bad??

    chevyv replied to missy22's topic in General Nursing

    This is all true, however, only you can decide the way that you'll handle all of this. That's what I meant by 'nursing is what you make it.'. Sorry if my words annoyed you, it was not meant as in...

    My friend withdrew from the program.

    chevyv replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    If your friend states that she is relieved regarding her decision, then be happy for her. Many students find out that first semester that they actually hate it. Some question it in their final...

    I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE!!!!

    chevyv replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    I agree, can you bring in something from the doctor? You should get another chance. I hate that a calc test can keep you from becoming a nurse. Fight it and see what happens. Hand in your...

    Is nursing really that bad??

    chevyv replied to missy22's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is what you make it. Every job you will ever work will have good and bad points. If it is a calling, you'll be fine. How can anyone tell you if nursing is good or bad? If it's for you,...

    chevyv replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I just happened across this thread and I can't believe that a nurse would treat a cna that way. I truly hope she doesn't need a cna for help with anything, I would bet most of them would be very busy...

    chevyv replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like you know exactly what your doing. I wonder if your manager is planting the seed to get rid of you anyway. I hope you get out and enjoy hospice. At least in hospice you spend time...

    Asked if I had speech coaching

    chevyv replied to ~Stacy's topic in General Students

    It sounds like it was more personal for her. I know she said she had pts, but her lack of information sounds like her pt might have been much closer to home. Just

    chevyv replied to Hopeful76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
