    TheCommuter replied to Rn 1979's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    TheCommuter replied to rn2bcareer111's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Finding the time to exercise is easy-peasy now that I work from home. :) Nonetheless, I worked 12-hour night shifts for years, from 6:00pm to 6:30am. I drove from my workplace to the gym to exercise...

    HELP!!!

    TheCommuter replied to skysafari's topic in General Nursing

    I would be somewhat unhappy working in cardiac or PACU if I entered nursing with the desire to be a L&D nurse. If you have the opportunity to start out in L&D, start there. Who gives a rat's...

    Do I give up? Dreadful wait after job interview.

    TheCommuter replied to KStewartLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would continue to look for other jobs. Based on the way they are treating you, the organization's need for a nurse is not urgent because they are not acting with a sense of immediacy. You may...
