I noticed that too. Sometimes people don't really want a solution to their problems. They would rather shoot down every single suggestion because of -insert issue here- instead of trying to find...

Hi OP, first of all congrats on your pregnancy! IMO, it is one of the best things to be a mom! Your life will definitely change, for the better.
I don't live in such a small town like you do,...

OP, I haven't read the responses here so I'm not sure if anyone suggested this already, but have you ever considered working for an insurance company? I left bedside many years ago and have been in...
As a patient in the hospital four times (for childbirth), I can assure you that you would not get any rest. I had a bp cuff on that took my bp every 10 minutes--all night and all day. I had q2h...
I don't have advice but I just want to say I'm sorry that happened to you. I have a side job as a contact tracer in my state (been doing it for 2 years already) and we do the exposure notifications....

If you don't want to do hand on nursing anymore, apply at insurance companies. I work for one now, and have for the past 12 or so years. All positions are Mon-Fri, 9a-5p, no weekends, no holidays,...
Do you have to do the entire year for any reason, or is it just because they told you in school that you must do a year? They always tell students that but it's not true (in my experience). My very...
I think it's best to consult with a lawyer. Even if someone here can give you an answer, it may not be accurate because of the state you're in or any other factor. Start with your academic advisor,...
When I was in nursing school about 20 years ago, they told us the same thing about not having a social life. But I found that statement to not be entirely true. Everyone is vastly different. Person...

When he says things like this "I know im just the worst. Im a terrible person!” that's just another tactic to get you to stop talking about your problems and to focus on reassuring him. Do you get...

TBH, your fiance sounds exhausting. Of course you know him better than we do, but from what you're saying here, he sounds needy and whiney. Were you already a nurse when he met you? He needs to...
It's just horrible how someone can make up accusations about a healthcare worker and we are guilty until proven innocent. I wish I knew a solution to this problem, it's something we all have to fight...
OP, since you said you are young, I'm guessing they are doing this because of your age. They (most likely) wouldn't try that nonsense with an older/more experienced nurse. And never tell anyone at...
I was about to ask about this. I've been out of bedside nursing for a very long time (thank goodness!!) so I'm not aware of the new procedures in bedside. But discussing patient A in the same room...
That would be a good question for an attorney that specializes in this type of stuff. I live in NJ and I have a sealed adult criminal record. I never had to disclose it since it's sealed and the...
