  1. I never thought in a million years that I would EVER apply for a nurse manager position ( in fact, I have joked about this very thing with co-workers on several occassions), but I find myself at a...
  2. Finally decided to quit nursing

    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...
  3. Finally decided to quit nursing

    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...
  4. No wonder our profession is messed up

    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...
  5. CCRN looking towards JD

    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...
  6. How do I get out of being a nurse?

    I think that you should think about what you could see yourself doing. What are you passionate about. I too so desparately want to leave bedside but I have an idea of what I would like to do...
  7. Searching for job

    Is it even worth while to try to pursue work in this field? I am all that interested in the "hype" of making $150/hr. I realize that those people are few and far in between. I am just really drawn to...
  8. Just landed my first interview for a nurse manager...HELP

    I actually found some managerial interview questions on this website. It can be found under the Career tab at the top of the page...go to the Nursing Interview Help Topic. Good
  9. Searching for job

    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...
  10. Keep ALL your connections!

    I second that notion of never burning bridges. You NEVER know when you are going to need someone. You can always catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. Be kind, respectful, honest,...
  11. Apologizing for my prima donna ICU coworkers.

    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...
  12. Burned out nurse

    That was me about 5 years ago...well almost....mostly just fried on the ends
  13. Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    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...
  14. Any other cold hearted nurses out there?

    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...
  15. Forensic Nursing (FN): Programs

    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...
  16. Is management for me?

    Hello all I have a major dilemma. I am ready to make a move into the next phase of my career but I am not quite sure how to go about it. I am ready to leave the bedside and move into the...
  17. Is management for me?

    Thank you so much again for your comments! I have book that you are talking about...haven't read it yet. It's good to know that you weren't perfect when you started...maybe I will keep that in mind...
  18. Is management for me?

    Thank you for your reply. I too want to make a difference. I am all about patient safety and wanting to make processes as they relate to patients and nurses better. I think that I could do that being...
