    Depressed about a job offer

    janeybirdRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure why you applied for a shift you can't work. Looks like you set yourself up for that one. This is something you should talk with hubby about before you even apply. You're looking for a way to...

    I need to vent :(

    janeybirdRN replied to RN.amour's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! So many posters suggesting to move on and get a new job. The subject line is where your heart is- you need to vent. Any new job is a huge adjustment, nursing or not, granted...

    I am a new nurse and I had a pt make a false accusation.

    janeybirdRN replied to newnurse34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Like others said- use the buddy system. We frequently take two people in for patients that have had issues with staff to make sure things like this don't happen. And they don't have to be 'psych'...

    SICU or NICU what to choose

    janeybirdRN replied to cpmrn's topic in Nursing Career

    NICU for sure. Its a larger hospital means more opportunity and possibility to transfer to other units if you want to go back to adult. It will be a better experience. Plus as a nurse educator the...

    At a Cross Road

    janeybirdRN replied to bgmfred's topic in Nursing Career

    You saved the most important reason for last. People on their death beds don't regret not working more. They regret not spending more time with family. You know what you need to do. Change your...

    State Boards

    janeybirdRN replied to white525's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is not 100%. You can get false negative but not a false positive. Pay $7.95 for the quick results to know for sure. Good

    Help! What should I do?

    janeybirdRN replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    It may be time for a pros and cons list to really visualize the decision. Better schedule, less hours, more money - but a lot more kids, new stressors, and unlicensed staff providing care. How...

    Help! What should I do?

    janeybirdRN replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    How many kids total would that be? So its more kids than you have now but less hours? Is that manageable? My state ratio is 1 to 1500. Are the benefits better? Can you talk to the nurse that was there...

    Feeling Guilty After Calling in Sick...

    janeybirdRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I felt fine, just a really sore throat. I called because I was contagious and didn't think they would want me to come in. They asked me if I felt okay to work and I answered honestly,

    I feel so discouraged!

    janeybirdRN replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in General Students

    I always had a back up plan. Repeat. Switch to the part time program, switch to LPN. Some students did this and some switched to different schools but stayed in nursing. Even in my last semester, I...

    I feel so discouraged!

    janeybirdRN replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in General Students

    I still fooled myself and tried desperately for As but that ensured I got at least a C. Study in groups, alone, and use a recorder. Flash cards, office hours, review every graded test. Stuff I never...

    New grad RN in med-spa

    janeybirdRN replied to diigital dream's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I guess the labor laws are different in cali. How can they not pay you for training? In PA if you do so much as a computer module at home required by the employer, the employer is required to...

    janeybirdRN replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in General Students

    You are not alone. If nursing is your true passion, just stick with it. I finished high school early and had a 4.0 in my first degree and got Cs in nursing. Finished with less than a 3.0. It's...
