I would also like to add to the previous comments that no matter what, the truth is the only acceptable path in nursing. Just imagine if you had gone along with the CN and someone else spilled the...

This makes me so angry and sad, we just had a suicide of 7th grader at my daughters school a week ago. To try to dump responsibility onto you, the teacher is trying to relieve her own guilt, after...
Of course they are already people I know. The point I was attempting to get across was that we are not as anonymous as we might like to think, imagine if you are posting a vent about a supervisor and...
I have to admit, I have figured out who three other posters are just by what they have posted and their user names. Knowing that if I recognized who these people were by their posts, I am very...

If you know what school you want to attend for your NP I would contact them and see what the requirements are for acceptance. I know that the clinical portion of it may be affected because the NP...
I graduated in May and am currently working in an ICU. I hate it. period. It is a difficult unit culture and unsafe staffing levels exist, nurses and support staff leave as soon as they can, and it...

I have continued to apply after taking a day off and not thinking about it. I am taking a lot of the advice here and I'm just not going to discuss it with people. The ones that are blabbing, well,...

Well, I have lived in the real world for awhile now and as I said, I could see it coming. I guess I'm wishing our class was a bit more of a team, but it has been very competitive from day one. It...
