    Is Anyone A Highly Sensitive Nurse?

    TheCommuter replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I coped for numerous years by working night shift. Nights have less management figureheads, physicians, family members, visitors and other annoying people. Less people results in lower noise levels...

    Good pop up on PVT, No Breeze Lic. Info available?!

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

    You can keep checking the BVNPT website, but it will not do any good since you will not see a license number posted until at least a month from now. Here's how the LVN licensure process works in...

    Is Anyone A Highly Sensitive Nurse?

    TheCommuter replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To clarify, are you referring to highly sensitive persons (HSPs) who are overwhelmed by external sensory input such as too much noise and strong smells? Or, are you referring to emotional sensitivity?...

    TheCommuter replied to Brighteyes67's topic in General Nursing

    I presently work from home as an RN case manager for a major insurance company. I've had this job for about six months. Although I have a makeshift home office, I do a considerable amount of driving...

    The advantage of occasionally working as a CMA/cna

    TheCommuter replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but I do not particularly want to work shifts as a CNA after having spent a small fortune on my nursing education. I would not mind working as an aide once in a while, but employers tend to...

    Taking a year off after Graduation

    TheCommuter replied to Nursestudent103.2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I concur with the majority of the respondents so far... I will also echo the sentiment that you might never work as a nurse if you take a year off. In this competitive day and age, employers often...

    New Job - Office RN (worried)

    TheCommuter replied to CarolLoriRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Welcome! I will mention this respectfully: no one in the workplace cares about your graduation ranking or school awards. Do not mention these accolades to coworkers. No one, other than unreasonable...

    And thank you for your participation here, too. Without members who post their questions and comments, this site wouldn't have grown to what it is today.

    Do people expect you to act a certain way because of your chosen profession?

    TheCommuter replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    Mostly, I deal with the occasional person who is surprised when they perceive that I am not as altruistic or caring as they'd envisioned nurses would be. I care when I am at work, but the nurse hat...

    Can I still be a nurse?? Do still have a chance?

    TheCommuter replied to nursingismydreamm's topic in General Students

    I disagree with a portion of your statement. Personally, I thought my nursing coursework was an easy breeze compared to the science prerequisite courses (A&P I and II, micro, etc.).However, the...

    TheCommuter replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I've worked with nurses who had various types of ADD / ADHD. Some of these nurses were treated and others worked untreated. Still, the only difference I noticed in those with ADD is a lack of focus...

    How hard is LPN school?

    TheCommuter replied to Weber's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The answer to your question depends on the individual student. Some people think LPN programs are difficult whereas others feel they are relatively easy. I completed an LPN/LVN program 11 years ago....

    BSN degree seems off topic

    TheCommuter replied to Wayne47's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Generally, as we ascend in higher learning, the coursework tends to have less of a practical focus and more of an analytical focus. We're not paid for what we do; rather, we're paid for what we know....

    TheCommuter replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I used Ivory soap many years ago as an unemployed student in an LVN program. Back then it was the most affordable choice: a 12-bar pack was about $3.00 in 2004.Nonetheless, I cannot use it today....

    Not everyone is cut out for critical care. I know I am definitely not...However, I'd give it a year to see if you hit your stride and fall into a competent groove. The anxiety you feel as a new nurse...
