    wondering what else is out there

    NurseCard replied to andiern1264's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You aren't selfish at all! Med-Surge can be very difficult and challenging, so congrats on making it two years on such a busy floor! There are SO many different directions that you could go in now,...

    Is This Becoming Standard?

    NurseCard replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well I'm SURE Signature will buy it and turn it into a top notch facility!

    Getting a "head start"

    NurseCard replied to Kater1719's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on your age, you could also take a CNA course and then get a part time job as a

    Parkland Memorial Hospital

    NurseCard replied to Ilovedonuts&naps's topic in General Nursing

    Did they give you a 20,000 sign on bonus? If so yes, you have to pay it back. If not, I don't see how they can make you give them 20,000

    Memory care

    NurseCard replied to Georgia17's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds great. :) I think the key is having good "programming", i.e. a good activities director who works just on that unit, coming up with games, activities that are specific to that population....

    Nurses and bullies...

    NurseCard replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    Bullying: Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the...

    NurseCard replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. A young man who dresses up like a grandma. Emergent said she was a grandma, the user blondy68675 (or something like that) commented "I always thought of you as a young man!", hence, my...

    Will I have a social life in nursing school

    NurseCard replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel like I had a life. I do. Plus like a previous poster, I had a baby during nursing school, and still made it

    Where can I get male only patients?

    NurseCard replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think it is ridiculous, myself. Truly, interacting with an unclothed female might be strictly forbidden in the OP's religion, regardless of any situation, except as mentioned before, a...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    NurseCard replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    Funny! Smiles everyone, Smiles!! To the OP, there are options, though they may be hard to find. There may be an all-male drug treatment facility/house. I know such exists in my area. There is...

    NurseCard replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Hope she has gotten her life back together. One of my best nursing school friends never even ended up getting a position as a nurse, then lost her license due to drugs.

    omg I forgot to give report!

    NurseCard replied to kellicutshair's topic in General Nursing

    Oh lord, it's the stuff of nightmares! Seriously, I have nightmares where I've gone a whole night without so much as looking at a certain patient... or two, or three, or heck my whole

    Any jobs that male nurses are "not allowed" to do?

    NurseCard replied to skihan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    OB is just about the only field/unit that I have ever known for men to have a hard time being able to work. In fact the hospital where I started my career, had a rule prohibiting male nurses or aides...

    Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Where to go from here?

    NurseCard replied to hbrn2010's topic in General Nursing

    Bump. Agree with JenGirl.... you have got to move past the mistake you made in NICU, and perhaps indeed, therapy is warranted. ((hbrn)), you WILL make mistakes as an RN. You will. The key is to...

    Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    NurseCard replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is mostly pictures of my kids, my dog, and just funny, hopefully non- offensive stuff that I find. Sometimes I share little joys, like my daughter doing well at her archery tourney, or my son...

    Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    NurseCard replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    I don't discuss politics at work. Never, never, never. Most of my coworkers are liberal, and I also consider them friends. My views are mostly conservative. I just stay away from religion or...

    A real nurse VS. a "fake" nurse

    NurseCard replied to okredrobot's topic in General Nursing

    Is this private duty nursing? I'm assuming? Otherwise... I wanna know what agency pays their nurses to hang at Starbucks and go to the movies so I can sign

    What a Day!

    NurseCard replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, sounds like you really rolled with something that sounds pretty MAJOR to me. Or is this something that happens often? I mean, for example, I worked on a post-surgical unit at the first...

    I need advice!

    NurseCard replied to buckaroo's topic in General Students

    I wish I could give you advice, but unfortunately I've never been in your situation. I have worked with many nurses who spoke English as their second language. Most of them were fairly easy to...

    Relationship with patient?
