  1. Weeding out of nursing students

    nurseinlimbo replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

  2. Are you the only casual?

    nurseinlimbo posted a topic in Rural

    Just wondering if anyone else is the only available casual to work in rural settings and getting burnt out and tired of dodging the phone. I am a mom of a 9 yr old, married, ride competitively as a...

  4. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    nurseinlimbo replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    At one job, we write down significant findings, prns, new Dr.'s orders and anything else down and then give a verbal report as well. At the other job, we do a written report which is then used to give...

  8. What weekends do you work?

    nurseinlimbo replied to TLC RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a casual, so I work whatever I can, sometimes I end up with a whole weekend off, but so far I have worked every single holiday except New Years Day, and I said no to a shift that day. Regular...

  9. Traumatized by nursing - advice needed

    nurseinlimbo replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    I have had similar experiences. My confidence and learning are also suffering. I have been out of school since Dec. '04 and have worked 3 months in psychiatric rehab (too slow and the nurses were just...
