    Feel guilty about turning down a job offer as a new grad?

    NurseCard replied to meganec17's topic in General Nursing

    So you did turn down the job? If you didn't feel like it was a good fit for you, and you aren't in desperate need for a job right now... then don't sweat it. The longer you wait after graduating and...

    Not hearing from former nurse co-workers

    NurseCard replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had exactly one work friend that I really truly remained friends with after they left. The two of us had really come to cherish the friendship and tried hard to maintain it. Eventually the...

    Long hair at the bedside

    NurseCard replied to kakamegamama's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed too, that places have eased up on making people tie their long hair back. I think that if it is so long that it is definitely dragging into everyone's space and touching everything, it...

    NurseCard replied to Shawn4455's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, falls are just going to happen. Admin hates it, hates it, double hates it when they happen... but they do happen. You did everything you could to prevent this one, and it still...

    NurseCard replied to Irishnights's topic in Emergency

    Most places where I have worked have been pretty good about scheduling meetings, education, etc at multiple times. I've even worked at a couple of psychiatric facilities that would offer entire...

    New Grad RN with ADD - very difficult to manage multiple patients

    NurseCard replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Home health really is great for a nurse who needs a quiet environment; however I would never recommend intermittent HH to a brand new nurse. That is, going to see 5-6 patients a day who are fresh...

    Nursing advice

    NurseCard replied to Rn2bmomta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If she hasn't earned a 2.7 by the time the deadline to submit the application rolls around, then she's very likely not going to get accepted. Yes she may have a 2.7 by December, but the application...

    Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

    NurseCard replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    I plan on working up until I die. Pretty much. My husband will probably be doing the same. We have 401K but right now aren't contributing nearly enough to it. When we become more financially...

    Stressed, Confused, Anxious

    NurseCard replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the stress the OP is having right now has nothing to do with nursing in and of itself. Furthermore there's really nothing wrong with going into nursing for the money. Really. Now...

    Should I appeal?

    NurseCard replied to aaronadams92's topic in General Students

    I'm with everyone else. You can appeal, but it just sounds like you've had a rough ride and things haven't gone well for you. Probably best to just accept that you made mistakes in your time as a...

    Pregnant in nursing school

    NurseCard replied to AMJ17's topic in General Students

    One more thing... newborns aren't always "easy"! My son wanted to breastfeed six, seven hours at a time. Then he wanted to cry and scream when I laid him down. My daughter was a pretty easy baby....
