  1. Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Anyone see Dr. Oz's show last week on antidepressants? I normally do not watch his show but when I saw it was on this topic I tuned in. There is no doubt he is staunchly opposed to antidepressants -...

  2. Ventage

    Marshall1 replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    For the record, Dave Ramsey filed bankruptcy years back..he does give good financial advice but he hasn't always followed his own advice.. Many people live paycheck to paycheck - not because they...

  3. How Do You Know When It's Time to Hang It Up?

    Marshall1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I identify with what you and other posters are saying...I hope you are able to find another path, a better suited to you path, in the near future. Nursing and life in general, is difficult..especially...

  5. Feel Horrible, Have Lost All Confidence....

    Marshall1 replied to LatinRN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunately, mistakes are going to happen - doesn't matter how long you are a nurse because you are human first (though I know some nurses who present themselves as perfect - it's not possible)..as...

  6. Putting in my letter of resignation today

    Marshall1 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    Good for you - sometimes a leap of Faith is all we can do and wait to see where we land. You will be fine and

  7. Better living--and working--through chemistry.

    Marshall1 replied to dudette10's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Not all antidepressants cause weight gain...and while I do understand that concern..if you aren't living life, wanting to die, thinking of suicide, unable to care for yourself or others, losing...

  8. Unethical hiring practices

    Marshall1 replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm curious as to why you are out of job when you said in your original post they offered you and the others a position in another unit..maybe I missed something? I'm also not sure why one would move...

  9. Resignation not going well. Advice?

    Marshall1 replied to imalilteapott's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the minority here but if I were as uncomfortable as you say you are, if my "red flags" were up as it seems yours are and comments that ranged from trying to make me feel guilty to somehow...

  10. How much do you owe in student loans?

    Marshall1 replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I owe about 50K for my soon to be Masters which will most likely end up more toward 60K - this is a private school. As terrible as this may sound to some on here, I will start paying once I am done...

  11. Help here

    Marshall1 replied to Gonesilent13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    On so many levels and from so many view points this situation is scary, unstable and is not going to end well. I hope, before she or anyone she is taking care of, driving around or in close proximity...

  12. Home Health-The good, The bad, and I'm getting out.

    Marshall1 replied to lsvalliant's topic in Home Health

    Thank you for posting this..I recently accepted a position that does not require weekends and was considering applying to HH for a weekend/PRN type position so I could pick up some extra time on the...

  13. What are hospitals doing for recruiting new nurses?

    Marshall1 replied to BeckyBrunker's topic in General Nursing

    The hospitals around where I live do nothing other than post the open positions on some of the online job boards and on their web sites. None are recruiting new grads. Like previous posters, the HR...

  14. Regarding nursing students- was this too much to ask?

    Marshall1 replied to blondy2061h's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is a "BMT"

  16. Got 2 job offers in different hospitals..need ideas of these hospitals

    Marshall1 replied to ladypearson's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Happy for you! Good

  17. Sexual harassment?

    Marshall1 replied to hollyann12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree 100% w/the other posters you may benefit from some counseling as it sounds like there is a lot going on..I'd like to add: If a patient made ANY type of threat toward myself or another coworker...

  18. Its really NOT a fate worse then death

    Marshall1 replied to KRSLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nursing schools - at least when I went - spent little time on anything other than acute care and hospital focused nursing - that's part of it. Another part for some people is nursing homes are viewed...

  19. are you happy in the state your in?

    Marshall1 replied to jescalynn's topic in General Nursing

    The likelihood of you having a job offer in hand in another state you don't live in before you move is, in my humble opinion, less that zero these days unless you have connections or possibly go...

  20. HCA in Georgia

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've searched on here but maybe I'm not searching correctly because I can only find responses for other states..I'm interested in opinions of HCA in Georgia. I am very hesitant to accept a position...

  21. New to ltac and had a bad experience, any advice?

    Marshall1 replied to dusoleil264's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    In the end the RN is responsible for making sure the orders are input into the system correctly for the patients they are caring for - if your unit does not have chart checks every shift and every 24...

  22. *Desperately need some advice - I hate my new job*

    Marshall1 replied to shellybean's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Am not sure what you got physically ill..just the stress I guess...if your former manager told you to apply/go to the Nurse Recruiter etc - then do it. If they are not willing to change their 6 month...

  23. Weekend Option/Baylor Shift

    Marshall1 replied to mommy2one's topic in Georgia Nursing

    A lot of Baylor programs have either been done away with or changed to the weekends plus one (meaning one shift during the week). I have never known of a nurse residency/new grad being a weekend only...

  24. Your thoughts on the safety of cutting "do not cut" tablets in half

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Have a neighbor who called me this a.m. asking about how to cut a tablet that is once/day in half. The medication is an antidepressant - Pristiq. She said her pharmacist and doctor both told her she...

  25. I understand why people go the LPN route

    Marshall1 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As an LPN working in home care, LTC, hospice or for the Feds seems, at least where I live and the LPN's I know, to pay well. So it would be something short term in getting you more money, better...
