Honestly, I do really feel like some people just have a mental health status that is too fragile for the field of nursing. Yes you can work on it, go to therapy, try drugs...but in the end the stress of the field might still be too much. Or you have ...
Hi all!
Wondering....what kind of experience do you need to apply to CM positions? I only worked the floor for about a year before leaving for various other positions, outpatient surgery/clinic, outpatient cardiac clinic, inpatient education.......

Hi all,
Please no hate here because my heart is in the right place.
Can a nurse work as a caregiver? Like odd jobs, like care.com? Unsure about the liability here. ?
I don't want high acuity. I don't want to work cardiac. I love hel...

Unless you have zero other choice, quit. Your health is more important that anything. No choice? Make peanut butter energy bites, freeze them, take them to work, shove them in your mouth in the bathroom every couple hours, and forge on.
