    nutella replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

  4. Medication preparations for real

    nutella replied to Emuhawk000's topic in General Nursing

  7. Career vs Family

    nutella replied to Stlm6290's topic in General Nursing

    I did do both - bedside and management. It is much harder to juggle everything with a 9-5 job 5 times a week and a hubby who works shifts as well. Not to mention that management often means longer...

  11. Social Problems in a Hospital? Please Help?

    nutella replied to amandaelizabeth1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Career Change Need Advise

    nutella replied to RexRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I have seen a bunch of nurses go to chronic dialysis and leave. It is not a low stress job and the pressure is huge for nurses. Not only are you going to run tx, string and clean up your machines -...

  22. Nursing and Social Media

    nutella replied to Brite_eyes28's topic in General Nursing

    Boundaries are there for a reason. I do not befriend any patients/families and in addition, I do not mention my work on social media at all. I believe that although it is quite common to complain...
