  1. Feeling like a failure: maybe nursing isn't for me?

    Little_Mouse posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just when I thought things were getting better at work...they really aren't. I wrote a previous post regarding excess write ups at work. Well, it's still taking place and no, I have not had the guts...

  2. Admissions RN duties?

    Little_Mouse posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi everyone, I've been a floor nurse for a couple years now and totally burnt out from bedside. I'm looking into hospice. I applied to an Admission RN position at a hospice company and was just...

  3. Bedside to telephonic nursing

    Little_Mouse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi everyone, I recently got offered a telephonic nursing position (case management). I've been doing bedside for the past few years, mainly in med surg. Does anyone have any experience transitioning...

  4. Bedside to telephonic nursing

    Little_Mouse replied to Little_Mouse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks everyone. Actually I already accepted the position, but was wondering how the transition would go from bedside to telephonic nursing go? It's just so different: not being in a hospital setting...

    "Therapeutic wait time". That's great..I don't remember learning that in nursing school . Lol! Great nursing

  6. I don't feel smart or fast enough to continue to be an RN.

    Little_Mouse replied to EducatedNurse07's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes! I thought I was the only one...I've been a nurse for about 3 years and I still have anxiety about work. What may be contributing to that anxiety is the fact I've changed jobs 3 times in those...

  11. Getting Away From the Bedside

    Little_Mouse replied to jrsquire1's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursefrances-- Ive also been interested in leaving bedside but the jobs seem few and far between. Ambulatory surgery sounds so interesting, but all opportunities I've seen need OR experience which is...

  12. I don't want to be a nurse anymore!

    Little_Mouse replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Sounds like there's a lot on your plate! Is it possible to resign from on of the jobs (like maybe the on call ambulance?) or least per diem in one or two of the part time jobs? Because you said you...

  15. Is Urgent Care RN experience considered "acute care experience"

    Little_Mouse replied to QEOLAdvocate's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I had worked at a small community acute care hospital that only had an urgent care and not an ER. Since it is within a hospital setting that particular case it would be considered acute. But there are...

  16. Habits you picked up from work...

    Little_Mouse replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Almost answering my home phone with "Hi. This is___ from ____ unit. How can I help you?" Also hearing phantom call lights and/or tele monitor at home... signing "rn" after my signature and using short...

  17. Admissions RN duties?

    Little_Mouse replied to Little_Mouse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I appreciate your honesty. I don't want to go into something if it may not be a good fit for me. I heard about this hospice company through a friend. She is a case manager but does field work (if that...

  18. PharmD student to Nursing school (long read)

    Little_Mouse replied to SmoothKeys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be honest, I have to agree with the above. Sounds way too similar to the "recent" nursing situation. Too many new grad nurses, not enough jobs going around, particularly for those new grads. Have...

  19. I think I'm done with nursing.

    Little_Mouse replied to MBrickle's topic in General Nursing

    I think this thread is getting away from the initial topic at hand. What do the Mods

  20. My Reasons For Avoiding The Acute Care Hospital

    Little_Mouse replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad you shared this. You sound a lot like me actually, but you really stuck to your personal beliefs and preferences...you stayed genuine with who you are and did not falter despite what other...

  21. Work related depression

    Little_Mouse replied to Genista's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thank you for sharing since at least I don't feel alone in this. The sad part is that I've only been a nurse for about 3 years...and have changed jobs nearly every year (a sign of burnout, no?) And...

  22. Welcome to the Shangri-La: My (Almost) Perfect Job

    Little_Mouse replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been a nurse for only 3 years, but haven't kept the same job for that long for a lot of the same reasons you've listed above. I really just haven't found my...

  24. How to Become a Leader as a Nurse?

    Little_Mouse posted a topic in Nurse Management

    I've come to realize (well, I have known for a while but...) that I am NOT a leader. I understand that some people are natural leaders...for better or worse. What I mean by that I have seen people who...

    Little_Mouse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey Everyone, Not sure if you've heard of this, but I saw it on the news this morning and had to check it out: Watch the clip from the documentary Alive Inside. I don't think I had cried so much...
