    Ross1 replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in General Nursing

    Family medical leave is available for mental health as well as physical health symptoms. Same goes for disability benefits. It is my understanding that for FML, you only have to provide a doctor's...

  2. I think I'm really leaving nursing, at least for a while

    Ross1 replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to everything that has already been said, many of the symptoms that you are experiencing at work are typical of panic attacks. It sounds as if your plate of coping skills is full with...

  3. Letter Carrier or R.N?

    Ross1 replied to FutureNurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a very legitimate and appropriate question. I am entering nursing school at the age of 37 and have often asked myself the same question. I've aleady had a super high stress career as...

  4. If you could get your Master's Degree...What would you get it in?

    Ross1 replied to LPNtoBSNstudent's topic in General Nursing

  5. All NY State ADN's and Students

    Ross1 replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ross1 replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  8. From Social Worker To Nurse

    Ross1 replied to leatrez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the way, I don't want it to seem as if I am solely pursuing nursing because of lack of social work job opportunities. I realize that my above posting may give that impression. Actually, when I...

  10. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Ross1 replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    One of the best coping strategies in my opinion is "I see nothing...I know nothing" (Schultz from the 1960s TV show "Hogan's Heros." With regards to gossipping which can be so destructive to...

  11. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Ross1 replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism
