I hope you eventually got an order for WoundVac.

Throw in the towel? Are you asking for support or looking for an excuse for your intent? Everything sounds lack luster that I read in your story. It probably comes across when you approach applications for a job. I see and can feel the dark cloud you hold above your head as you go through each task with about as much enthusiasm as paint drying on the wall. So, when you get serious about working as nurse, the responses you get will be serious. The clinical world of nursing has been taken over by MBA's, non-nurses evaluating "resumes" as an application for work. Your credentials are your ADN. Know this, and go out and get a job. BTW, RNs do not work as CNAs or LPNs. Duh?

Hmmm? Now that I see him, I understand why he 'barks' his STAT orders.

:) Within one year after graduation, I came back to California. My experience on a Med-Surg Unit during training and after graduation placed me well beyond the training and knowledge of nurses I worked with here. Yes, you do see any and everything in Med-Surg. I found that working the night shift was my preference. At night you don't have the MD rounds, administrative types, visitors, etc., to get the way of patient care. It is a great training area for nurses who want to work in other specialties, including discharge planning or case management, especially if you want to be an Independent CM.

OOOOH thank you. I thought I was in the twilight zone yesterday a.m. I just got satelite direct TV. All of the station numbers are different. I tuned in to what I thought was TNT. As I watched the show for a few minutes I just didn't understand what was happening. It seemed as if the feed was coming in from Planet Neptune and I had been taken back in time. Alas, I didn't burn anymore brain cells on trying to figure out what was happening. I just turned it off. Thanks. Your post cleared the mini-mystery that was floating in the arachnid spaces of my mind. :chuckle

I didn't see that particular episode...usually I catch the re-runs during the day. I have seen the network show during the evening and I tend not to like it as much as the earlier episodes. Carrie, Dr. Ramono, Dr. Green, Abby, and the rest of the group hold my interest more. The show makes for great background din when I am writing my reports (believe it or not!) :) As far as the comment 'just a nurse' is concerned, hey, once you know your worth as a nurse, that sort of comment just rolls off of you and down into the floor drain where it belongs.
