    New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

    Speaking of the first domino... In 1976, I was hit head-on by an intoxicated pickup truck driver while riding my older Brother, Eddy's, motorcycle. He was immediately at the scene to be with me...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder, SBE, are you pursuing art now? Doing art was therapeutic and a great catharsis when I was in the throes of a stressful nursing career. Too often, I hear people say, "When I retire, I'm...

    Beautifully written post, SBE, and one in which I could easily identify. That's a pretty good time frame- the early 'aughts. The '80's and 90's were great and I thought things went downhill...
