  7. Now I am really questioning nursing

    UnewmeB4 replied to socalirn's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 30 years. I love it as much now as when I started, possibly more so. There is no greater reward than having a job you love. I have shared people's greatest joys and deepest...

  10. How to deal with unexpected deaths of nurses and other health care professionals

    UnewmeB4 replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

  11. The people you meet.......

    UnewmeB4 replied to Bolts's topic in Emergency

    I do sometimes think age can be a factor as well. The old lady with a broken hip may do fine with tylenol. A young person who has never really experienced things like childbirth, broken bones,...

  14. Ok, need to ask this question about "gifts"

    UnewmeB4 replied to Roy Fokker's topic in General Nursing

    UnewmeB4 replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    Bless your heart! Not many people "get it", that we don't know everything about everything. Bad things happen when a patient does not understand what is going on...no matter who the patient

  16. Has a patient asked you to help him/her die?

  19. Losing Nurses!

    UnewmeB4 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing
