  5. getting out of bed side

    goalienrse posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have to say, just a year and a half into my career I have really really had it with nursing. I'm sick of management dinging me for everything they possibly can for nothing, I'm sick of lazy nursing...

    goalienrse replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks for the advice, heres some for you. Maybe you should take a vacation from all nurses web site, if it bothers you so bad somebody venting/posting about an experience and observations they have...

  7. bedside nursing, is it really that bad?

    goalienrse replied to OCRN3's topic in General Nursing

    Not a big fan of bed side nursing personally for many reasons. I have found most nursing aren't either. In my opinion it is a hard hard road. You have to really really want to be a nurse, have really...

  8. Burned out and hate nursing

    goalienrse replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I know the feeling OP. I've been a nurse for a year and a half only now and I truly hate this field. Managers and nursing assistances can make all the difference too. Many managers are out of touch,...

  9. Inability to make a decision..is this what depression and anxiety do?

    goalienrse replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That's good I think that your staying where you are. I too suffer from depression, and a little anxiety, and would love to work in a boring office right now than my busy and sometimes cut throat ltc...

  10. Nursing beyond the bedside-for new grads? Help!

    goalienrse replied to LillyFish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know what your going through. I can't wait to earn my bachelors and get a couple years more exp (I only barely have 1) and then move on probably to being a case manager. But I have to do those...

  11. getting out of bed side

    goalienrse replied to goalienrse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks. Case management does seem like a perfect fit. Getting out of bed side is probably realistically a longer term goal right now, within 3 or 4 years would be

  12. Stable life vs not enough action! Do you ever envy your inpatient counterparts

    goalienrse replied to newrnltc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Don't be envious, like someone said before, its HIGHLY over rated. Most bed side nursing jobs are fit for dogs. I will be leaving bed side as soon as I can and never ever looking

  13. Frustrated

    goalienrse replied to setlo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any advice really but to say your not alone! I could have written this topic myself word for word (including the other holier than thou nurses), except for working different areas....

  14. Starting first RN job soon and I am terrified.

    goalienrse replied to corgimomRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good luck! 4 weeks isn't terribly long, but I've heard of worse. I'll be real, nursing can be, more like just "is", a bumpy ride. In the beginning it can be really really tough and just plain...

  15. Mistakes

    goalienrse replied to DeeDee_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Its human to make mistakes and WE ALL DO! But it all seems in my short year and half as a nurse to be wheather your manager is understanding of that or not (or wheather they like you personally or not...

    goalienrse posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I had a pt today with a INR of 6.5. I called the doctor. He told me to hold todays coumadin and monitor for bleeding. I work nights and was ready to leave. So I put that order in. Told the nurse...

  19. Must move with only 4 mos in 1st RN job (hubby job xfer)!!

    goalienrse replied to ReasonInTheMadness's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just be careful. Not only is the market tough but sometimes so can the work place. If your comfortable where you are and like your management and coworkers, well, I would hate to see you leave that so...

    goalienrse replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  21. I am about to quit with no notice and no warning

    goalienrse replied to okkennk28's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I also completely agree. Its not about them, its about you. I quit a hospital, gave a good two weeks notice and fulfilled it faithfully. But just not working at the moment made it really hard to find...

  22. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    goalienrse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think its fine as long as you don't go overboard. I have a visible tattoo on the back of my neck, not innapropriate or anything bad. Where I now work its okay to have up to one third of your body...

  24. "Omitting" a job from resume

    goalienrse replied to double_minority's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess it isn't a good idea to omit a job. But I would definitely start looking for another job and get one before you quit where your working. I quit before finding in another job recently in...

  25. Why Do People Bully Me?

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

    I agree with those who say this article is too broad. I know a few nurses that have been put on probation for fighting with other coworker bullies. I was shocked when I got my first nursing job and...
