    Are some people not meant for acute care?

    Curious1alwys replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    It may very well be your bipolar anxiety, and if it is.....it is what it is. Unless you are going to medicate it down (which often sucks) you have to learn to work through it or around it. I would NOT...

    Don't want to save people/rusty skills

    Curious1alwys posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Back pain... the abysmal side effect of nursing

    Curious1alwys replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Only thing is.....how do you raise bed to appropriate height for both people assisting? I'm so short I always get screwed.

    Taking time off to take care of my new baby? Bad for career?

    Curious1alwys replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    I took nearly 5 years off. But it could apply even if you just take a year. Doesn't take very long for them to consider you

    New nurse, not eating so I can pass 20-30 patients' meds

    Curious1alwys replied to crudRN2020's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Taking time off to take care of my new baby? Bad for career?

    Curious1alwys replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    I did this. I won't lie, it was a hard crawl back. Mostly though because I didn't stay per diem/PRN. Do that if you can. You will be glad you did because when I went back I had to go back to school...

    Why doesn't any job seem to fit?? (AKA what is wrong with me?)

    Curious1alwys replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, I think you just have more options, in your mind, because like you said you are not doing this to put food on the table. Those that are probably are more likely to suck it up in any situation and...

    Don’t want to take care of people anymore...

    Curious1alwys posted a topic in General Nursing

    I don’t want to take care of people anymore. I want to help them (directly in some way) but I don’t want to be responsible for saving them (life or death). Where can I go as a nurse or do I need...

    Time off in between jobs?

    Curious1alwys posted a topic in General Nursing

    How bad is it to have a break in between jobs? Did anyone successfully take 6 months-ish off and was able to still find work? How big of a deal was the time off to the next

    Those who work 2 days/ week, do you like it?

    Curious1alwys replied to Nurse-yThings's topic in General Nursing

    What's not to like!?? Good for you! Being at home is so important, especially if you have kiddos. Great that you found some nice work/life balance.

    Where are my work-at-home homies?

    Curious1alwys replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    I know several people who say the downside is no work/life balance even though you'd think there would be a ton. So apparently it matters who you work for though. Also, if you have back issues at...

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    Awww, I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. How are you doing these

    Curious1alwys replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I have only about one year acute bedside tele, a year ASC, 4 years cardiac rehab (both outpt and inpt), is that enough for a utiliization review

    Get to shadow a hospice nurse, advice?

    Curious1alwys replied to skydancer7's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am very much an empath and while hospice has always piqued my interest I am very hesitant for the reasons you describe. Curious though, was your day heavy on skills? Just wondering what...

    Did you accept? How's it going? Was interested in what you were doing there.

    New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    Curious1alwys replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others on many points. You could try it, see how it goes, if it doesn't work out, you leave. Next job just say working in clinic wasn't right fit for you. I will agree that biggest...

    Curious1alwys replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all! I honestly feel I just don't like the unpredictable nature of nursing. Then my kids are burning me out with caregiver strain. LOL! (roll eyes). Currently I work cardiac and I feel like...

    Extreme anxiety no longer want to be a nurse

    Curious1alwys replied to Katiejef's topic in General Nursing

    Reading these posts, it's so easy to see that if you are not the most mentally healthy person in the world, with any history of anxiety or depression, nursing will wreck you. If it doesn't, it took a...

    Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    Curious1alwys replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    ....and I wish I could just sit and talk to patients all day. LOL. Hope you find what you are looking for, to each their own.

    Sorry about the chronic migraines. Such a tough thing to have when you are at the bedside. I hope you find your
