  1. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    tencat replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

  2. Should I or should I not BECOME A NURSE??!

    tencat replied to browsing's topic in Nursing Career

    tencat replied to araujojr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tencat replied to kk2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    tencat replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Psych! My own life is full of enough craziness, thank you very much! Since I've had my own kid, I'm thinking I won't be too keen on Pediatrics, either, because I always want to take the little...

  7. Are there nurses out there with anxiety?

    tencat replied to Nancy428's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to get the disorder under control to help you in every part of your life, not just in nursing school. I was 22 when I first found out that I had depression and anxiety. I was having...

  13. Accused of Racism!

    tencat replied to yaddadoit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  16. Overweight nurse needs advice!

    tencat replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    I lost 70 lbs over the course of 2 years. I've found that if I don't make any foods "off limits", I do a lot better. I decide what it is I want to eat, and even if it's a hot fudge sundae, I eat it....

    tencat replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

    tencat replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What's wrong with wanting to be at a job where there's more compensation? Society seems to have this idea that anyone who is in a helping profession should just get satisfaction from the good work...
