    Landing first job

    Baubo516 replied to intothenight81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Baubo516 replied to Baubo516's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow! That is amazing to me - the tenure thing. I actually don't think it is a good thing. I would not want my kids having a teacher who really doesn't want to be there and maybe is not doing their...

    To the OP: this DOES sound "ghostly," but consider this: maybe it is a FRIENDLY ghost. Isn't it nice when someone opens a door for you? Perhaps your patient liked you, appreciated the care you gave,...

    What can I do over the summer, if I don't get an externship?

    Baubo516 replied to SoCalgirl06's topic in General Students

    Where Do You Study???

    Baubo516 replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

    Do you think nursing has aged you?

    Baubo516 replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: I am not a nurse yet, but I recognize a lot of the emotions you are describing. I, too, think you sound like you are experiencing burn out. I am going through a lot of these feelings, and...
