  1. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Neurotic Student replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    ugh I didn't even get a key chain at my newer job. At least I got a gift card at my last job, and I was actually thrilled when I got that gift

  2. Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    Neurotic Student replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I get what you mean. I feel like I'm in a similar position. I almost got a year in med-surg, and I'm gonna leave it. I finally got that one year experience and I don't ever want to work in a hospital...

  3. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Neurotic Student replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am sort of a new grad to nursing and I've contemplated leaving several times. I am seriously considering it. A lot of reasons discussed here are true. Fortunately I haven't really been bullied as...

  4. Where are all the "older" nurses?

    Neurotic Student replied to tjcnurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have three 60-year-old coworkers working 12's. A lot of us actually call upon them for help on our hard IV

  5. Regret becoming a nurse....

    Neurotic Student replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    It was either my second to the last year or final year of nursing school that I had thought of quitting. After I got a lecture from a nursing school friend, I decided not to. Now 7 months into my...

  6. Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    Neurotic Student replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I don't think anyone can top the first response! I like to workout, go watch bodybuilding/powerlifting/strongman competitions or conventions, and hopefully travel more in the future. I already...

  7. What do other hospitals do regard to scheduling staff for weekends?

    Neurotic Student replied to Metalchild's topic in General Nursing

    We submit our schedule for the next month. We are required to work 2 weekends of each month, but I heard it's not strictly enforced for us because we have enough people working weekends. I'm one of...

  8. May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

    Neurotic Student replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Would you rather tell a coworker you farted or that you take antidepressants? it's not as uncommon as people think but a lot of people hide

  9. Meaning of your username?

    Neurotic Student replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I signed up as a nursing student thinking that I will never come back here after I became a nurse (or quit nursing school). Neurotic because I have neurotic

  10. Female vs male patients

    Neurotic Student replied to qaz99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In the acute medical, no I haven't noticed much difference. In acute psych though, I will be in high acuity unit all-male pts any day over all-female pts. Males there are less likely to hit females,...

  11. Psychiatric Nurses and Safety

    Neurotic Student replied to Kayla_Martin's topic in Psychiatric

    I followed general precautions and never felt unsafe. It depends where you work and who you work with. I worked 2 years and only got hit once but it didn't hurt because pt was small, developmentally...

  12. Psychiatric History - Can I still become a nurse?

    Neurotic Student replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Sad that we cannot disclose this but it's so rampant. I know my workplace has told me they have this help program thing where you can go talk to them about personal problems and they are supposed to...

  13. How to do acute nursing after psych? Sorta new nurse.

    Neurotic Student posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've been orienting in M/S for 4 weeks now on nights, and I don't feel like I'm getting up to speed as the others hired in my group. I'm in a new grad group despite not being a new grad. I know I...

  14. New nurse feeling discouraged

    Neurotic Student replied to Coolbeanz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've got 3 more weeks of training left, then I'll be on my own. I'm also getting lots of anxiety on my days off and the day before work. I have some nausea too but I haven't had the feeling of wanting...

  15. Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    Neurotic Student replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you do, don't fall into that dangerous trap. It's bad if you are facebook friends with your nursing group, and they post that stuff up. That's why I stay away from FB!! Do you ever come here...

  16. Work declining vacation request?

    Neurotic Student replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Holy cow, I never knew that. Is that really common? That's a long time to wait to be able to request vacation! I thought as long as you give sufficient notice, you were good. They say 3 months in...

  17. From night shift nursing to Fitness Model

    Neurotic Student replied to laurendrainfit's topic in General Nursing

    A gym is great if you want to get serious, but you can get in a decent workout at home depending on what equipment you have. I also started working out in my room. You can do so much with just...

  18. From night shift nursing to Fitness Model

    Neurotic Student replied to laurendrainfit's topic in General Nursing

    You also have a pro card! That's

  19. Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    Neurotic Student replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've worked with a nurse with flower clips and it looked good. Most just go as far as

  20. From night shift nursing to Fitness Model

    Neurotic Student replied to laurendrainfit's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome! I don't know how you work out on your work days too. You'd be busy too if you have a significant other and kids. My work days are spent sleeping, preparing to go to work, then work...

  21. About those new grads----!!!!!

    Neurotic Student replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a real new grad but I just started as a new grad hire in an acute hospital. I'm still orienting but I feel queasy every shift. I've done 3 weeks so far, don't see myself quitting even though...

  22. Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    Neurotic Student replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    That's strange, I don't remember being asked that. I did do cycles of antidepressants every time a quarter of nursing school started but I'd get off of them when I had a break. When I applied for...

  23. Light at the End of the Tunnel: RN to BSN

    Neurotic Student replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I think about that when someone says "You know what they say, 'If you didn't document it you didn't do it." What if you documented it and you didn't do

  24. Advice for the new hire (hint: don't show your faults for awhile 😇)

    Neurotic Student replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've tried it before. The other person got really defensive in our confrontation and started bringing up other things that bothered him (not about me but another team member) but they weren't really...

  25. Advice for the new hire (hint: don't show your faults for awhile 😇)

    Neurotic Student replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I second this! It's called work for a reason. If I come in to work, I'm here to work. I don't use my phone for texting, even if I've finished all my work. I see that others often use their phones....
