Nursing has to be one of the toughest fields out there. I want to move out of this field and open a restaurant. This field is cut throat. so much demand on one person to do everything.

Summing up my life for a year and half since nursing, I have become deprressed, developed some form of schizophrenia d/t being so young and far away from family and with the condition of the world, of course Im paranoid. working nights, getting no...

Thanks everyone, To be frank, I don't believe in counseling, It's not for everyone, and im one of those. If I have lost direction, a stranger wouldnt help me in tracing myself back. I just have a problem with trying to make everything work all the t...

-Am i in some denial? -Can I be going nuts? -Is there something I can be doing to make things better in addition to trusting God's timing and plans toward my situation? -Is it nursing doing this to me, or mid life crisis? -What in the world is happen...

I am looking to apply for a new job somewhere else because day in and day out it is pretty evident that where I am is good for nothing more than the pay check I receive from here and thats not how I want to work. I am looking for a new job, and I kn...

Dating? What is that?

Why is nursing like the war. Im a new grad nurse, and ofcourse the more experience nurses think they know it all more. They sit at the station gossiping all night, which till this day 5 months in i refuse to be a part of, I already have my own issues...

All those who look forward to work because they trully love what they do, you are blessed. Whether it be nursing, or accounting, lawyer whatever it be. It's a bottomless pit to walk in life feeling like you are being forced. Not happy or finding fulf...

nursel56 LOL. I was laughing a bit too because that was EXACTLY how the scene was. poor Simba

10 people running to help 1 pt who fell, they nearly pushed me over just wanting her right arm i was holding to help pick her up. there was so much people, nothing effective was done. It seems like they want to be recognized, so they come in and lite...

aurora77 , it makes sense that they may be more "experienced", but i've gootten report from nurses working 15years, and they'll ask me, "do you know what that is? cos i have no idea" or what do you do with this? i think experience doesnt guaratee you...

This lifted my spirit. I am going to print it and keep it in my pocket or wallet.

I am wondering what shoe out here in this world best supports us nurses, being on our feet for so long. There might not be the fix it shoe, that takes away all the pain in our calves, but there has to be something better out there. I use my running s...

Aids are a blessing to us nurses for what they do, but seriously, some of them on my unit literally run around all day, high speed like they are chasing things, only for filling up water pitchers and getting cups. 20 minutes before the next shift arr...

And I do take care of "my patients" by myself, when what needs to be done isn't done. Thanks. If my license is on the line, and I am held accountable for everything, if someone isnt doing their assigned work or communicating the results to me, I take...

I work night shifts, and the best way for me to exercise is sometimes depending on how the night shift goes, always bringing my gym clothes with me to work i might go at 8am depending on if night shift went smoothly. And if the night shift goes rough...

I appreciate the aides, I think they do the tough work, i mean its amazing. you have to have the heart to do the things they do. its so much work, I just wished they would communicate effectively.

Let me just say, if you dont have a BSN at least, hospitals will not look at you. i dislike to sound pessimistic but I graduated in 2011 with my BSN, took my nclex and registerd in NYS. with the hopes that I can get a nursing job in the city close to...

no offense intended. and i wasnt offended at all. im sure your cognition is fine, my sense of humor might just be asleep at the moment, who knows. But thanks a bunch for your reply, i really appreciated it. .

people do make typos, and i guess there are folks out there without enough cognition to think I meant the disease aids. get serious. Thanks for your replies.

I too am a new grad nurse, working for my unit for 4 months now. I dont know if its nursing, or just being away from home in a state of weirdos, but this career isnt making my life so exciting besides my check. and that is sad to me. I cant even enjo...

its so important to focus on how to control yourself, cos at the end of the day you cant control what others say or do.

Ive been a new grad for about 4 months now, and I feel like my legs arent connected to my waist which isnt connected to my upper body which DEFINITELY isnt connected to my arms. My posture sucks. I have always walked well, i workED out everyday, grea...

Is this common in us new grads, because I am miserable to the point of no return. i too moved away appx 350 miles from home, by myself, no friends here, i have always been independent so i've had acquaintances, and always had my 3 sisters around to h...

I'll say the OR is a great unit, in that there isnt so much high stress as is on a med surg floor, but med surg floor would give you a solid background of the different kind of conditions in health. Although annoying to say, it's advisable for New ...
