Hi! I'm very interested in sitting for my CDE exam in the future, I printed out the guide from the website that tells me what will be on the exam but not sure where to study from? Any advice? Thank you!

Me trying to return to the light after a 12-hour shift.

When somebody says you're "just a nurse"

Hi all! Just wanted to share that this is my last school year as a school nurse and I'm VERY excited. Kids are little so I'm going to work part-time for a bit an hoping to become a certified diabetes educator in the near future, considerin...

Thank you!

I just want to put it out there how frustrating it is to get to a last round interview, just to be told they went with another candidate by a automated email. You get to know the recruiter or the hiring manager, they are super friendly, and the...

I'm currently in a position where my contract ends end of May. I would get June and July fully paid and then I would look for a part-time job come August (My husband will start working full-time then so I won't be going full-time for a few years due ...

I've always been one that deals with moments of shock/sadness last. As in I almost get numb in a way, and then it catches up to me. Well, I had a home health patient pass away about 2 weeks ago. I had seen him on an off for about 3-4 years and r...

Although I do feel that people facing roles make it much more pleasant for the patient when you are a "people person" it doesn't mean you can't go into nursing. You can do OR, or other less patient centric roles. If you want to do it. Do it!

With certain individuals its hard not to get attached ❤️

Hello all, Hope your school year is going great! I'm kind of starting to hit a point in my career where I'm kind of bored/not satisfied with my career/where I'm at. I've only worked as a school nurse since I've worked as a nurse (minus 6 ...

I agree with all you have said. I’m in a slightly different boat because my husband finishes his degree up in June, so I can officially leave the school system shortly after that. im basically sticking it out unless I can get a remote job...

Thank you JLK. I did, I feel good about the care I gave him. That’s for sure. thank you for replying to my post. ❤️

Just want to clarify and say I was never board during nursing school , this was referring to my job as a school nurse z Im also very saddened to hear about your situation and I hope you get your kiddos back. Abuse (no matter what form ) i...

Thank you for all that replied! To answer the first question - no there isn’t a way to advance in this role. Also , just so you guys know , I’m finishing up the school year and then going part-time for a bit. My kids are small and...

How did you get your foot in the door for utilization review? Is it boring?

Point proven about being more mature in your career LOL!! I am taking a break from full-time work come next August (husband will be done with school and start working full-time) but an opportunity has come up where I could be doing something el...

Oh don't mind him, its a new nurse. We told him next time he said the "Q" word he would have to take the charge nurse around the unit.

All I did was tell him the new Covid-19 guidelines

“Hey since you finished nursing school I have a few medical questions for you “

So I’m interviewing for a this job that I feel I’m qualified for and think my passion and motivation can help me fill in the gaps on things I don’t know - or push me to learn. I’m in the second stage in the interview and I’m feeling like I’m not...

Hi ! Thank you for replying ! The interview process is pretty tedious so I’m sure I won’t get it if I can’t do the job (has several practice exercises to do ect ect ) It’s also not a clinical job just so you know. I ended up rereadi...

Hi OP, This is so sad to read, I am so so sorry for all the trauma you’ve endured but so very thankful you were there working those floors. I haven’t experienced anything like this so I can’t say I understand, but I can say you’re not alone...

I see what you mean TheRN, but if it’s making you feel this way maybe you should just leave. I don’t think anything is worth you feeling so down , you know what I mean ?

TheRN, Pleases seek professional help if you feel that way. You may have some underlying things you need to unwind first before looking into another profession. I am genuinely concerned with your above comment. Please reach out to somebody to g...
