    Coworkers claim to love it. I hate it

    Soliloquy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever worked somewhere that everyone around you keeps professing to like each other or say that they're close knit, but you absolutely despise it and feel like you can't trust anyone there? I...

    Online vs Traditional NP school

    Soliloquy replied to Retired APRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in an online program for grad school and to be honest, I think it's more challenging (I'm learning far far more in a shorter space of time) than my undergrad BSN. We have the asynchronous...

    NP or MD

    Soliloquy replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would recommend Med school since you'll have full autonomy regardless of the state you're in to practice. The only thing is that you can't begin to use your degree until you're done with school. If...

    The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Soliloquy replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, I don't think so. I don't think everyone does what they do for image and status and wages. I think some people enjoy primary care and preventative care (like myself for example!) so I do think...

    Why is our salary so low?

    Soliloquy replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The posts in this thread are spitting examples of WHY NP salaries are so low. I don't think anyone should be guilted or put down for trying to advance their education. But I think and HOPE that more...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Soliloquy replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    I highly doubt that this poster is telling anyone in person that "they should mentor us". lol Naturally, they're venting here. I think what they're saying is that if you're told that someone is...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Soliloquy replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    But you have to agree though, no one wants to be told that they're incompetent and belittled for sharing their experience when they finished school too. New nurses want to be taught the ropes, just...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Soliloquy replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Some nurses do eat their young. I think that statement is true too. :) Sometimes people just don't like their job or don't like that newer nurses use the bedside more as a stepping stone than as the...

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Soliloquy replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some people are just too petty. I like people but I'm very private at work because I'm aware of what jealousy can and does to some people. If you can find a new job, I'd go. Good

    Would you work alone?

    Soliloquy replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The only time this is allowed is if you're the only one in a single pod but there are other nurses nearby. No, not safe. If a baby codes or something crazy goes down, you don't want to be the only...

    New To NICU: How was your experience?

    Soliloquy posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When I made my transition, I felt like many of the nurses who knew I was an experienced acted as though I was suppose to know a lot of stuff about babies and critical thinking from the get go. But...

    Med/Surg to NICU - thinking of making the switch

    Soliloquy replied to MedSurgRN193's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I made the switch. I did Med-surg telemetry for about 2-3 years and then recently entered the NICU. It can be a high stress environment for sure. New admissions always freak me out because I never...

    Leaving Bedside Nursing

    Soliloquy replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it's good so many people are passionate about what they do and can't imagine other people wanting to leave. It makes me feel good because I know when I leave others will be there. So I'm not...

    Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    I've actually heard it said by many bedside RNs. Seriously. That those on the outside are not "real nurses". It's b.s to hell with them as far as I'm

    Soliloquy posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Questions: If a baby has more than one PO medication ordered at the same time can you give it all at once in the milk? If the baby has an OG or NG tube, can you give all the medications directly via...
