    What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Why are teachers still telling students how scary doctors are?! The first thing I usually have to do with students is intro the docs and show the new grads how un-scary they are. Poor things are...

    What now?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Charlie92's topic in Emergency

    Oh yeah, that is a lesson that can be learned the worst way. Never quit until you are Rock Solid at your new job. You don't want to end up with no job at all. It sounds like they mixed up your info...

    What happens when you need help and no one is available?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to fskye's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hugs from me too. The best news I can give you is that: 1. You have choices 2. Every shift ends ( that was my mantra for my entire first and maybe second year. ). 3. You have Allnurses!...
