    What's next? I hate my job

    barcode120x replied to Taylor1432's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I actually posted a similar post (well not exactly about hating my job, but more about struggling with anxiety from the job and whatnot) about 3 years ago here asking for help when I first started...

    Worst Nursing Scrub Color Worn?

    barcode120x replied to RNliveoak's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My hospital does not require certain scrub colors for nurses, but I would imagine wearing full yellow or pink would not necessarily be "ugly," it just wouldn't match the environment. I normally wear...

    I want to quit

    barcode120x replied to hmarine88's topic in Health, Stress Management

    barcode120x replied to angelicasmth's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Cherokee and Dress-A-Med are the scrub tops that fit a short (5'4), bulky guy like myself. Every other brand always has a scrub top that fits perfectly everywhere, but is just too long for my...

    Canadian RN Nursing in California?

    barcode120x replied to vanlink's topic in California Nursing

    I never did travel nursing, but I would highly avoid the SF area unless your travel agency is able to compensate you enormously for living expenses. I hear nursing pay is high in the SF area, but I...

    barcode120x replied to Piercejd's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Called off too many times?

    barcode120x replied to MS0298's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As long as you are following your hospital policy, you shouldn't be worried. Be worried if you passed the line designated on your hospital policy. I've crossed that line twice actually, but had only...
