    nutella replied to HisjuleRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    nutella replied to The_Physicist's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest - I think there is one major flaw in your plan. I think it is unrealistic to assume you would be able to go to nursing school and keep an engineering job part time. Also, your income as a...

  6. Why I'm leaving nursing

    nutella replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

  8. Hard Truth of Nursing

    nutella replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

  9. WGU will not accept me

    nutella replied to jenam2you's topic in Western Governors University

    It seems that their learning format is geared towards nurses who have a working knowledge and that makes a lot of sense. You can apply to other schools or find a nursing job. I do not think that you...

    nutella replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to agree with you that nursing is a high stress job in many regards and that a person needs to be somewhat resilient - people who are overly sensitive and/ or take things personal usually do...

  14. Social Class and Nursing

    nutella replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    What your question and poll does not address is the fact that the social class of nurses who live in a partnership/married is also determined by their partner. Your income, upbringing, and behavior...

  15. WILTW 10/1/16: Lights up to Activism and Bonus Points

    nutella replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

  18. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

  19. Hops requiring nurses sign no Falling contract, Is this legal???

    nutella replied to psmith118's topic in General Nursing

    LOL . So - I have seen such thing. It is not an "actual contract" in the way we understand contracts - a binding agreement. They call it "contract" to use a strong language that will encourage...

  20. Having doubts about nursing school. I'm desperate, any advice appreciated.

    nutella replied to College_girl's topic in General Nursing

    What I tell HS students is that it is important to have a realistic picture of what it means to be a nurse nowadays. Fact is that nursing is stressful generally speaking, you need to have good...

  21. So, what's it like?

    nutella replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    There are important differences. The teaching hospitals I worked at are all on the forefront of innovation, discovery, teaching, best practice... there is a high expectation around the standard of...

  23. Called in on days off...what to do?!?

    nutella replied to Kalypso22's topic in General Nursing

  24. New nurse feeling inadequate

    nutella replied to NewbieNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    nutella replied to firemedic12's topic in General Nursing

    No, you are not wrong thinking that way! Unfortunately, this is the new way that administration tries to deal with the fluctuating census. They will hire you full-time but with some kind of...
