    When patients and visitors are rude

    BSNbeauty replied to brownbook's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get what the OP is saying. Some of you are reading way too much into the post. I think what she was trying to say was don't take it personal, get help if you are unsafe, and reflect on how you...

    MSN (not CNL) as a bedside nurse- thoughts?

    BSNbeauty replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Nursing Career

    I see many MSN nurses in bedside. Many of them teach on the side. I agree with the OP, why leave a great paying bedside nursing job for less pay and more days a week??? Give me my three 12's and my...

    BSNbeauty replied to Gamecock73's topic in General Nursing

    I think home health or Private duty nursing would be a great fit for you. Bedside nursing is not for everyone. If I didn't work on such a great post partum unit, I'm sure I would have quit the bedside...

    Rural nurses... Advice please. Why am I paying for my BSN (maybe a rant)

    BSNbeauty replied to HHN2472's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way about my BSN. I don't want to work anywhere else at the time except bedside. I don't see why the heck I need a BSN. I'm in the BSN program now and it really is a wast of time and...

    BSNbeauty replied to jafferine's topic in Nursing Career

    I respectfully disagree with Ruby. If you get offered the new job and you feel it is a good fit, you tell them NOW and leave after your two week notice is up. Don't let anyone guilt you into staying...
