    Thoughts from a person with Borderline Personality Disorder

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello. Sometimes I get feelings that I sit there and think "is this normal?" So, I go to the internet and research. I get "heartbroken" every time. I come across some pretty nasty comments about...

    Anyone work at Planned Parenthood? If you do, do you like it? I must add that I am into community/public health and community outreach. I know people in the past have mentioned that finding a job...

    Hi. I was wanting to start a thread for only people in the Virginia Monitoring Program. I am not finding too many threads about it or people in it. I have started into it and will be doing orientation...

    Does your state require mental health reporting?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi, This has been a common question here lately on AN. So, I started this thread in hopes that 50 people (plus DC, if there's a license for DC) from each of the 50 states, plus DC, could share whether...

    How did you get those jobs? Where did you look? I think that would be helpful in my field of interest--Community and Public Health. I would appreciate any info. Thank you!

    CEU requirements for nurses and NPs

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Just thought I would mention, in case anyone has not seen the VA BON site or gotten email, there are going to be requirements for CEUs to be done in VA. Virginia was one of the few states that did not...

    Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So, I have come to the conclusion that the excitement of being a nurse and everything that goes with that newness wears off after a year...employed or unemployed. I still do not have a job and I am a...

    Places for a Public Health Nurse to Work

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hey, guys! I know Public Health Nurse is generally a title at the health department; but for the purposes of this thread I will use the term loosely. I was wondering, where are (all) the places a...

    Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What I really wanted know with this thread is about the other new grads, with or without a job--did the honeymoon phase/excitement wear off after about a year either way? I think a year is about what...

    Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    wendy, I just do not want to put myself in a situation where the patient load is unsafe to begin with and the whole losing licenses issues. The Board would probably look down on the safety issue even...

    Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    glycerine, I was a PCT for a short while. My point is this--whether it is healthcare or regular jobs (non-healthcare), you are typically over qualified when you get a license. I wasn't comparing those...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    HouTx, no I am not drinking or doing any drugs. I get very worried that I will come out with a false positive (like a benign substance causing a positive) because my substance of choice was alcohol. I...

    wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lynda, I do not have debt. Mine was free because my mom taught at the school. I actually switched majors three times, nursing being the last obviously. Nursing had nothing to do with the money, I like...

    Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think one of my biggest fears is that not only do I not get a job, but if I do, would the excitement return? It scares me to think I am so exhausted that I am not excited about a nursing job. I am...

    wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    lori, no one is saying we aren't happy for you and OP. But, as someone who can write RN after their name (upon getting a job), and those who are actually working as nurses, there is reality. I can't...

    Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am from a relatively small area. Not podunk, but small. I know between the school I graduated from and surrounding schools, they put out 200+ nurses a year (probably more). So, yeah, where I live...

    I am a nurse...why would I be jealous? I want something that is not something 10 out of 12 people are doing. Everyone and their grandma is becoming a nurse because they think it will bring good money....
