    hypnotic_nurse replied to November's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in General Nursing

  6. This article disturbs me

    hypnotic_nurse replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in General Nursing

    You know, maybe the problem is the PERSON, not the job...from the tone of the writing, maybe it's her attitude, not her skills, that keeps her unemployed. I know if the job I have today goes away (and...

  7. Weird question

    hypnotic_nurse replied to notamannurseanymoRCC's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wear a lab coat ONLY when I have to set boundaries with a difficult patient (which is rare). Otherwise, they are too distancing, not to mention hot and confining. And who has time to mess with a...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to zenman's topic in Psychiatric

    A good friend of mine is a psych NP. :) I haven't worked with her since she obtained that degree, however, because she is now in private practice, specializing in post-trauma stress and/or substance...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  12. When a nurse floats to your unit........

    hypnotic_nurse replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

    At my part time job, I'm a Behavior Med floater -- I always do whatever the other nurses don't want to do. Since it's part time for me, it's really no big deal...the people who do it all the time...

  13. Help me, I hate Nursing!!!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to HJBeans's topic in Nursing Career

    I find I need a total job change at least every 10 years -- perhaps you do, too. One of the great things about nursing is that many different doors are open to you. Exploring a new area is scary but...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to husker-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even psychologists can get it wrong. They're only human, with all the biases that everyone else has -- and it sounds as though she had some kind of agenda; a good psychologist helps you find your own...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to dee201's topic in Research

    Other than a part time job I took on 6 months ago, I've only worked as a research nurse. I am ADN prepared (but I also had a 4-year degree, although not in anything applicable). On my campus right now...

  19. Graphic Design vs. Nursing?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to carrot_thief's topic in General Nursing

    Volunteer at a local hospital or ask to shadow a nurse. This will allow you to see if it's work you would like. Whatever you decide to do, do it as long as you enjoy it...and when you stop enjoying...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to RN92's topic in General Nursing

    If you really like getting your nails done, and like the look of polished nails, why not get a pedicure instead of a manicure? You can get those neat designs on your toenails and it won't interfere...
