    NoblePath replied to ama3t's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have no idea, I wouldn't have guessed that. I'm guessing your job is harder to replace than a care partner? Transfer on the medical side seem to be easy to do. I just transferred

    NoblePath replied to colltuz's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hey there, I work in Nashville. I moved a few years ago after 1.5 years of experience. I got a job right away, but I didn't have a lot of options. Do you currently work in a hospital? What specialty...

  3. Angel on my Shoulder

    NoblePath posted a topic in Oncology

    I thought I'd share this story, because I'm sure there is another nurse who may be in a similar position. I entered the nursing world inspired by an amazing nurse who took care of my sister who died...

  4. Not sure if Nursing is right for me (Right Now)

    NoblePath replied to Meabso's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say to do whatever is best for you. You should take a good hard look at what you want in life and make your own decision. No one else can say what is best for

    NoblePath posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

  7. Had to code my best friends husband

    NoblePath replied to wannabeagreatRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Does your employer have an EAP program? I'm just suggesting this so you could talk it out with someone? This is a very tragic event, and you did everything you could do. I'm sorry this

  10. Injured Nurse, Can I still teach?

    NoblePath replied to NoblePath's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I spoke with a few faculty members, and they said it'd be okay as long as I had the experience. I'm feeling a lot better about it, and I've seen some good progress in my healing

  11. Injured Nurse, Can I still teach?

    NoblePath replied to NoblePath's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking about working in a clinic until I finish my master's and then maybe becoming a diabetes educator. I hate the idea of totally leaving the bedside, but I can't risk...

  16. Oncology rotation - help!

    NoblePath replied to Saija's topic in Oncology

    I understand your concerns but you won't be giving any chemo. Chemo precautions are usually only for 48 hours post chemo administration. You have to be chemo certified to give chemo. Also a lot of...

  18. Needing Opinions

    NoblePath replied to NoblePath's topic in Oncology

    We rarely do chemo and when we do it's usually palliative. Every once in awhile someone will get it overnight but usually those are the chemos that run continuously for an allotted time. We just...
