    It really annoys me when nurses say they are going to go to med school...

    itsnowornever replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Doesn't bother me. I knew I wasn't going into "medicine" but now I wonder if I should change tracks--it's the lack of desire regarding the responsibility that makes me not do it. And doctors...

    Night Shift

    itsnowornever replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I find that 3 in a row is easiest for me. I am usually great by day 3. Breaking it up kills me because it takes me a day or two to acclimate and then I'm back on nights. I usually do 3-12s, one day...
