    CrunchRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Texas Nursing

    Female cathing

    CrunchRN replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    8 months as a nurse and I am failing miserably

    CrunchRN replied to RN119's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are human. You will make mistakes. I bet you will never make that one again. You just have to say "i messed up" and move on. Know what you will do differently in the future. A lot worse...

    Out of state new grads

    CrunchRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hating my job

    Muslim nursing students

    CrunchRN replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I know your family wants what is best for you, but to me it sounds like the problem is that you do not really wish to be a nurse. If that is the case then do not do it. You can be a nurse. The...

    CrunchRN replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    I work as a nurse to support my life style. I do not believe nursing is my life. It is my job pure and simple. It is good to have healthy habits and share those if appropriate, but I do not feel...

    Never before have I been so disrespected by co-workers in the workplace

    CrunchRN replied to chinacatRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your day off is your day off and you can do whatever the heck you want. That is insane. Tell them you will get it fixed on a work day then so you will not be at work!
