    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This is exactly how I feel. Money comes & goes, but time goes & never comes back. My second son is already 1 and I don't want my kids to think I work so much that I don't love them. There...

    Thank you! I felt so guilty when I was working. I didn't place my oldest child in daycare until he was closer to two. I feel like I missed so much of my second child's "babiness" because I was working...

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you carry in your nursing bag? Follow up question, as a new nurse to the hospital, (I'm gonna be working in m/s) what should I bring? I'm gonna print out a brain sheet, anything else? Any shoe...
