    Hey Cindy, sorry I haven't written in a couple of days, but I am selling a lot of my furniture. I got notice today that the Board will meet with me on March 23 or 24th. I am numb and so scared, but getting all my references together. I know I will...
  5. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    You might want to apply for private duty. I just put an ad on Craigs list for RN to take care of Elderly. I answered one who will pay $22 an hour and I am hoping she answers me. I need to stay away from facilities or anything out there that will s...

    Cindy, I am loosing my job.
  14. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    I am so glad I met you too. I have only been confronted with horribly mean, incompetent nurses who will do anything to throw you under the bus. People I love say I am a miracle and that I have survived this long in this field is awsome. You know I ...
  15. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    read my notes on my mental illness, and you struck a cord with me to help me get honest. Trauma victims and Nurses who struggle especially with this have to know they have support. I never even discussed this with any other nurses. Quite an awakeni...

  20. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    I really struggled with the shame of the disease and trauma I have gone through but It got better until I got into nursing and realized how many nurses have bipolar disease and do not treat it. I will call my doctor. I was on medication and after g...
  21. JUST LET ME VENT

    You just made me feel so much better. I had the day off and before I got the news about this today I went for a really great job as a Case Manager. I loved it and I think they loved me, but speaking about prayer, I am praying for help and I know I ...
