    Annewr replied to GeminiRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to post a new thread but you all answered my question fairly well, I think. Have an ADN and was wondering if I should go BSN or right to MSN focus probably on administration. I am...

  2. You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    Annewr replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    Annewr replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  7. LTC nurses, need your input

    Annewr posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Maybe I posted this originally, in the wrong section. In 12 hours I have gotten no responses which is unheard of on this forum:) Okay, the short version. Have worked in almost every nursing envir....

  8. Anti-Intellectualism/Autonomy in nursing

    Annewr replied to felineRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless I missed the point, I think part of the frustration expressed is that nursing is TOO driven by protocols. If that is the source of your frustration, the ICU will drive you nuts. Everything is...

  11. What would you have done?

    Annewr replied to wbdtrt's topic in General Nursing

  12. What would you have done?

    Annewr replied to wbdtrt's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, everyone, take a deep breath. I have been on this site for about a week. The snark, not helpful. There were, IMO, really good responses to "What would you have done?". Snark is...

  13. This forum is scaring me!

    Annewr replied to Laurel32's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, Hearticulture, I couldn't have said it better. I came to nursing as a second career and it changed me as a person in all of the best possible ways. I can't agree more with everything that this...

    Annewr replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe I didn't use the reply correctly, or maybe it was too long. So, for the second post, please, please be aware when you have put up with too much. I stayed at a job for 6 years, then quickly...
