Not sure what you mean? :)

Thats what I'M staring in Feb can't wait

thank you for your kind words - i dont think teaching is easier, its just more me, i always wanted to teach but for one reason or other took the wrong turn at the crossroads over & over, my own fault.nursing has given me a good foundation and the...

HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION? THATS MY NEXT STEP GOOD LUCK

unfortunatly your attitude captures the very reason I need to get out of Nursing & quick! I will retire one day, but at a job/career that allows me to be happy & consequently live & retire with peace, good health & memories of som...

This is my second career, so yeah, I will retire from nursing. I don't understand why some people are whining and moaning about "nursing will kill you if you're in it long enough to retire from it." I'm ENTERING nursing at the age of 46. Yes, I reali...

I fear I may die holding the stethoscope but not because I want to, Nursing will kill me! not the job or the patients but the politics and the ugly side of many "colleagues" who are bullies & the system which allows these people to prosper on the...

I'm in a similar boat to you and am now into my 40's. The answer I think is exercise but like you say WHEN? Thing is we've got to be honest with ourselves and use "idle" time to move. My health is suffering now & i'd like to make it to retiremen...

"Aint necessarily so", my last employment prior to nursing was as a chef. I clean bottoms & bed bath with (almost) everyone else in my team - thats the meaning of team work. Also, my students learn that it's not in their patients best interests t...

some advice please, hope this wont be too long winded & you wont lose interest; here goes; last year i sent an email to my colleagues about an incident on my late shift. i was nurse in charge & a particular poorly patient had missed her lunch...

Thank you so much for your constructive & really helpful advice. I agree with you and I will keep a watchful eye on whats going on. I work with some very clever people, unfortunatly that is not matched by their intelligence & awareness. I am ...

Yes it's "brill" that we can get our heads together from across an ocean :redpinkhe such useful & thoughtful advice is one thing, but the camaraderie that it has been given with is lovely and refreshing :redpinkhe you're so right, I can almos...

HONESTY! a scarce thing these days lol thank you

Thank you thats so helpful I am to be honest worried about my job but if I can leave documentation of this in my file & believe that it will stay confidential until I need to use it then that is an option. Including the bullies in an education p...

ESPECIALLY AS SOME OF THESE NURSES ARE THE MANAGERS "RUNNING BUDDIES" AND USUALLY GET THE PROMOTIONS! OOPS CAPS LOCK WAS ON

Yes thats a point but theres always bank & from what our teachers said when I was training, a certain amount of "on the floor" nursing was expected in order to maintain PIN. Thank you again

Thank you I am interested in Palliative Care so much so that I have asked to be put on the rolling education programme with my hospital. Funny, but for the last 2 yrs I have also asked but the " psychotic princesses" also wanted to so I got knoc...

:lol2::lol2::yeah::lol2::lol2: i get ya! LOL however, this is the first & only nursing job I've had apart from being a student when I'd say 50/50 had bullies, I personally think the staff attitude/morale comes from the top down Prior to myprevi...

I wish I knew where the right places to work where, I'd be there in a flash! (Any ideas? please?) You're right about working in a predominantly female profession - in my last life as a chef (male dominated) it was a pleasure to go to work everyday!...

very powerful words & exactly howi feel!love yourself , there are 20 other nurses to look after those patients but only you to care for yourself :redbeathe just one question..why the oath? and i thought you lived in a secular country? in the uk ...

excellently put

Thanks for letting me know that! I am aware of this as i've worked in the "caring profession" for 8 yrs and have had the pleasure of "snotty" nurses & what i call "psychotic princesses" but all this does is give ME pleasure in "dissing" them and ...

two things come to mind here - self righteous..........& maybe if you read a dictionary you would know that the use of "lexicon" is out of context. anyway,i hope you get holiday pay for your next act of supreme masochism

Listen, I work with the homeless in my city voluntarily and have worked in the past with asylum seekers, the unemployed & victims of serious crime, i dont think i should have a halo over my head for doing it! yes what you have done, and what mil...

i'm confused i always thought doing vol work was a way to gain experience/makecontacts in order to eventually get a job - no? it seems that although this is accepted that you have to pretend to be doing vol work out of the goodness of your heart ...
