It sounds like you may have had a plan of what you wanted to do when you became a nurse but unfortunately, many do not or rather maybe they change their minds once they got too far in. I think that...
Hi JennJen512Finally someone who feels the same way that I do. I am almost embarrassed to tell anyone that I really do not like being a nurse. I don't even like to tell people that I am a nurse.I do...
ACNP2B I understand your pain. I am not a NP but an ICU nurse for 9 years. I have worked with many NPs. I will have admit that I did kind of turn up my nose to some of the NPs for several reasons. I...

I graduated from this program in December. It is a really good program. I think that you will enjoy it. I am still having a problem with finding a job but I hope that things will start to look better...

I am having the same problem. You would think that there would be a lot of positions because of the way that healthcare is now, but so such luck. Or if I do happen to stumble across a position, the...

Well I just left the ICU after 9 years and my coworkers and I would often complain about this very thing. It wasn't until I had an opportunity to speak with an ER nurse that I fully grasped the...
I am like you. I only call off when I REALLY need to and even then I am stressing about the fact that I have left my coworkers one nurse short. But there are many nurses who have no problem doing...
I really feel that it is all about balance. While I do agree that you can probably get more accomplished by being calm, cool and collected (soothing talk, constant applause when the patient does what...
I am just curious, does one really need to have a ER/Trauma background to work as a Forensics nurse? I was a CV ICU nurse for 9 years which I know is not the same but just wondering. I took the...
