I'm an RN in Texas and I "voluntarily surrendered" my license due to an incident, with the possibility of applying for reinstate after 1 year. Well, one year has passed, and I'm trying to get my license reinstated, but I have no clue what I'm doi...

I actually have several questions. Feel free to answer any of them :) I want to get into informatics, but I'm having licensure issues. I already have my BSN, and I was considering doing my masters in Nursing Informatics, but they usually require a nu...

I have experience and a BSN. I'm a young single guy and I want to travel, have fun, and enjoy life. Compared to being a civilian nurse, what are some freedoms that I should expect to lose if I join the Navy? I'm into guns (I compete in IPSC), but I'm...

What are some personality traits that make a good psych nurse? How do you pick out the good psych nurse from the average floor nurse? Complete the sentence: You know you're a psych nurse when... Also, as a psych nurse, does it help to be the artsy, i...

I found this on reddit and felt it belonged here.

you know... you make a very good point... this is probably why nurses aren't so eager to hit the gym after a shift. maybe a good stretch, like yoga, may be more beneficial for nurses than the usual gym routine. instead of a gym membership, a membersh...

so true...

oh yeah... and there's these... https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+deal+with+nursing+stress https://www.google.com/search?q=strategies+to+prevent+stress+and+burnout+in+nursing there's also plenty of literature about "nursing burnout" http://schol...

good question... who cares for the caregiver? one thing that makes nursing different from most jobs is Mortality Salience. hospitals mainly exist to deal with morbidity and mortality, so mortality salience is a factor that i think gets overlooked a l...

I got my BSN but ran into some licensure issues with the board. Will the navy still take me?

deferred adjudication for class A misdemeanor assault. but i'm already off probation. so it shouldn't be a problem... maybe i should talk to a recruiter...

OIC... thank you!

sorry jeck, but i'm assuming AOC means Area Of Concentration? AOC - Military and Government if that's the case, then how are MOS and AOC related?

yes! this is what i wanted to know! i didn't want to make the mistake of thinking i could do psych simply because "i like art blah blah blah". thank you for the honest feedback! i think you're right, that flexibility, adaptability, and a cool head ar...

i think everyone has a little bit of mental illness hiding inside them somewhere. i think i'm somewhere between schizoid and schizotypal. what kind of mental illness do you have? does having an understanding and appreciation for abstract art, or the ...

there's a lot of material on the internet about TMT... https://www.google.com/search?q=Terr...agement+theory basically, i think this theory applies to nursing because nurses deal with a lot of mortality salient (MS) events. hospitals are full of m...

thank you overtonis! you saved me a lot of money :) i think i'll go with your advice. it matches what i'm reading in a lot of these other articles.

i keep posting questions, but never get any answers... Is Health Informatics a viable route to becoming an informatician if I decide not to reinstate my license? How is Health Informatics different from Nursing Informatics? How are they the same? i'...

to clarify my situation even further... i'm currently debating whether the cost of getting a lawyer to reinstate my license is worth it if all i really want to do as a nurse is informatics. i really don't see myself doing well in any other nursing ro...

actually guys, to clarify my situation... i was working as a nurse in different capacities, finished up, graduated, and got my BSN, but a little bit after, i got into some licensure issues with the board. i had to voluntarily surrender my license for...

bummer but what if i'm not looking for a nursing designator code? can i be assigned another designator code?

but let's say i wanted to work in informatics, or some other non-clinical position. it's just that i have a background in nursing and a BSN, just no license. however, i'm a very technical personal and i was never big on floor nursing. can i still fin...

thanks jack! that was super helpful!
