  3. Anxiety getting the best of me....

    Marshall1 replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You don't say what medication the doctor prescribed nor why you had seizures in the past..both of these would be something to consider..I know there are a few, very few, medications for depression and...

    Marshall1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been an RN since 1990. Nursing has changed so much over the past 10 yrs that I hardly recognize it anymore..I have diligently applying for and interviewing for positions I KNOW I am either...

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to GeminiRN2007's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. How many more interviews?

    Marshall1 replied to UpinawayRN's topic in General Nursing

    The 2nd interview and sometimes 3rd is happening more and more even to seasoned nurses. I don't understand it and I think it actually increases costs (at least man power hours) and can also backfire...

  10. What is your opinion....

    Marshall1 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    It's their business but I will say some of the CRNA/NP programs require some time in nursing - direct patient care and clinical rotations are mandated in nursing schools so in some form, at some...

    Marshall1 replied to kohlbesc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    From what I gather many LTC nurses - esp. those who are new to this type of nursing - feel this way. Hopefully some of them can offer you advice - all I can say is continue to do the best you can, ask...

    Marshall1 replied to Sarahtonin's topic in Home Health

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Home Health
