    Marshall1 replied to Juju102's topic in Georgia Nursing

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

    I left the hospital setting in 2009, worked in hospice/home health..decided in late 2014 to return to working in the hospital. Huge mistake - the staffing issue had only grown worse since I left along...

  8. Coming out with mental health... or not?

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

    Marshall1 replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

  15. How can I improve my reputation?

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

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

    Marshall1 replied to Fluffy bear's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Sounds like it's time for you to look for another job if you haven't started already - which I know can be tough when you are feeling so badly. Your current bosses have made it clear by not changing...

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