Self care? it's gone out the window. I WAS nurse,unlike the article you wrote,that refused to let the job get to me. I ran every morning before work,I did 1/2 marathons,traveled,now,My self care consists of work,md appts.,changes in the company that ...

Thats the curse of nursing. It sucks you in,you feel like a quitter,you feel you are a bad person if you want out of it! I have often imagined winning th lottery and thinking I would cry tears of joy if I never had to be a nurse again. Than this voi...

This post is brilliant! My job that I have been at for 9 years,decided to go 2 computers. Im in homecare. I am not talking hand-held,small,nifty little devices,but large,heavy laptops. Not the sleek,light-weight laptops,but huge. So,in addition to se...

Rainy,I googled the PINE RIDGE RESERVATION and I at random called a phone number on the web site I found and talked at length with a man that lives on the Rez. I watched a disturbing documentary the other nite,and it got me researching beyond belief....

Well put! And it cracks me up that people give advice like..."go pamper yourself,go take a long walk" I love this one......."Light a candle and turn off all noise and meditate" I call a spade a spade,it's not a negative attitude,it's fact! And wha...
