    KalipsoRed replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    KalipsoRed replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

  6. Is this really the norm?

    KalipsoRed replied to WittySarcasm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    KalipsoRed replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

  8. Is the nursing experience better or worse than when you started?

    KalipsoRed posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've only been a nurse for 3 years, so to answer my own question I would say that it hasn't changed much since I started. I think you could probably read some of my previous posts and see what I think...

  14. Med Surg or ER for New Grad

    KalipsoRed replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked ER as a nurses aid. I felt it was too steep a learning curve to try right after graduating. So I decided to do something 'slower' and went to a telemetry/step down unit. That learning curve...

    KalipsoRed replied to 1lpn2rn's topic in General Nursing

    KalipsoRed replied to Brandieelynne's topic in General Nursing

  22. Is nursing "care" a thing of the past?

    KalipsoRed replied to AnneBlunnRN's topic in General Nursing
