  1. Love the Job, Hate the Environment

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to Stephalump's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm 2 years into my first nursing job. I work on an acute psych unit. I love working with the patients and the doctors. Working with the other nurses is another story. Most are bitter, passive...

  2. Psychiatric Emergency! Fumbling Syringes?

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to Angeljho's topic in Psychiatric

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to nur18's topic in New York Nursing

    Sannart, Loba is probably correct. I would hope they look at the entire picture. A 4.00 certainly says a lot more about your abilities and dedication then one test. If you don't get in, which I doubt,...

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to Jets272's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to rnckr's topic in Men in Nursing
