    Heylove replied to ashkay's topic in Psychiatric

    Heylove replied to SidyJean's topic in General Nursing

    My employer just sent out an email a few weeks ago changing our cap from 200 to 72. I am so mad, I can barely even talk about it and I wasn't going to say anything on allnurses but I saw this post....

    Heylove replied to Jayestonilo's topic in Legal

    Heylove replied to Jayestonilo's topic in Legal

  7. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    Heylove replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry nursing is not what you envisioned. Like others have already said, you just need to find the right place for you. Did you have a good "feeling" when stepping on the units for your...

  13. Dealing with Students in Clinicals: What would you like to see?

    Heylove replied to bsf312's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree regarding part of #6. On our adolescent psychiatric unit, I am SO happy to see student nurses. We need all the eyes we can possibly have on all the patients, all of the time....

    Heylove replied to sharkbacon's topic in Emergency

    Heylove replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Heylove replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Heylove replied to Lanig924's topic in Psychiatric
