  2. I was doing my final preceptorship in an ICU and talking with two male nurses, and this was the conclusion we came to: Men are expected to be competent, unemotional, accountable, and men are taken...

    Thank you. What does a case manager do? Are they like a social worker? The
  4. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    Good luck in school. I'm burned out on school, but not on education, and certainly not in nursing. I'll bet it is the same for you. So don't worry about jinxing yourself. It's only when you say: "If I...

  6. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    If they ever make a BSN the entry level for nursing, it won't affect me, just like it doesn't affect you having a diploma right now. You say you're going to leave nursing. If it's for health reasons,...
  7. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

  11. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    If a person doesn't have a bachelor's degree; I say get one. I learned a lot in college. But I'm not going to get two! By the way, I applaud your attitude re: bedside nursing. The

    You say that like it's a good thing.:uhoh21: Just joking. The
  13. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    I hear what you are saying. I can't predict my future health. But I run at least 4 times a week, I keep my weight down. I take an ASA, MVI, etc. daily. I've seen really sick and weak people in their...
  14. Becoming a Student Nurse

    I was a waiter once, and truly liked it. I got good tips, usually, and I really liked interacting with the customer and getting them their food and alcohol the way they wanted it. In addition to that,...
  15. My take on nursing

    I have been in nursing forums for a while now, and I have heard many negative comments about the working conditions for RNs. The conclusions I have reached based on my observations may anger some, but...
