  1. Are nurses smarter than resident physicians?

    HelloWish replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Even if I ever felt I knew more than a resident, I would never act that way. I would always be respectful and helpful and use it as a positive teaching moment as I hope a physician would do for me! I...

  2. If not nursing then what?

    HelloWish replied to SheriffLauren's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to be a professional student and independently wealthy. I do have nostalgic feelings about being a pharmacy tech which feels like 100 years ago. Today I rented my son's trumpet at a music...

  3. How did you know when your specialty was THE one

    HelloWish replied to K.Alva's topic in General Nursing

    I think having an "aha" moment is important and will take time! I am still searching but my criteria is that I don't dread going to work, lose sleep over the job, and feel sick about working there. My...

  4. New job- to quit or not?

    HelloWish replied to ViviRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Why don't you call in sick one night so you can sleep and because they are not giving you a break due to day classes for orientation and night shift. You know you are leaving anyway. I would give...

  5. SHOULD I CALL HR??

    HelloWish replied to MOMNURSE,RN's topic in Nursing Career

    It took 2.5 weeks before I got the job offer I wanted after an interview. Some hospitals are very slow. I emailed twice letting the manager know my interest so I wasn't forgotten. I think I was the...

  7. TWU FNP Spring 2019

    HelloWish replied to catacombsBSNRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. Nursing Incentives - New Grads and Expereinced

    HelloWish replied to RNCompConsultant's topic in General Nursing

    Too me this is the simplest answer. I think the biggest reason that nurses leave is patient ratio. The amount of responsibility placed on nurses is unreasonable especially for the pay and they are...

  10. New grad sinking fast

    HelloWish replied to Sheika34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The expectations of yourself in such a short time are unreasonable. Learning to be a floor nurse after graduation takes months, not days! Even after a year you will still feel like a novice. You...

  11. New Job, Did I Make a Mistake?

    HelloWish replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Nursing

    If it is a new position, this is your opportunity to build the role into what you want it to be. It will get busier! I worked outpatient as an RN, and it can be a very busy and stressful role

  12. What nursing specialty has the best work life balance?

    HelloWish replied to dianearc's topic in General Nursing

    I have been thinking about peds private duty. What do you do about health insurance? It seems all the peds private duty companies do not have good insurance. I am the insurance provider for my family....

  13. New grad nurse med surg

    HelloWish replied to Caramellatte's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Charting your assessment at the bedside (if possible) helps to keep the day running

  14. What nursing specialty has the best work life balance?

    HelloWish replied to dianearc's topic in General Nursing

    I don't recommend clinic nursing with small children. I found it to be more exhausting than working 12 hour shifts on a med/surg floor and having to use so much PTO just for appointments. Plus getting...

  15. Staying Healthy as a New Nurse

    HelloWish replied to EmxoRenee's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked 12 hour shifts, I would drink premade protein shakes during my shift. I like

  16. Horrible first job - need advice

    HelloWish replied to PAnurse94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I worked on a med/surg floor for 9 months as a new grad. I was injured at the 8 month mark and started looking for a new job. I worked on the floor as a resource helping other nurses, but no heavy...

  17. School Shootings

    HelloWish replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    That is why OP started this thread to actually do something. OP wants to mail this thread to the Governor of Texas. Yes, it will help and instead of putting it down, it is time to be supportive of...

  18. School Shootings

    HelloWish replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, sensationalizing shootings in the media has made the situation worse. It is a catch 22, yes we need to know about it but also making others more aware has caused it to become more of a problem....

  19. Charité

    HelloWish replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the midst of watching it and enjoying

  20. New grad on leave with 3 kids under 3...HELP

    HelloWish replied to nursemom24's topic in General Nursing

    Here is how I see it...you only have one chance when your children are babies and little. There will always be nursing positions. Sure it may be hard when you try to go back, but when you look back...

  21. Hiring an RN into private practice

    HelloWish replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    Your attorney may be suggesting a RN due to scope of practice. From the NCSBN website: "This tool is intended to be used by nurses, facilities, boards of nursing and other stakeholders in determining...

  22. Autonomous Jobs out there?

    HelloWish replied to 2BS Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Research

  23. Commute time to hospital job

    HelloWish replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    For almost one year I drove about 45 to 1 hour twice a day too/from work - and depending on traffic, it could be even longer. Since I have an adolescent child at home, this quickly became very...

  24. Sleeping in the Closet?

    HelloWish replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Why why not try an RX for Ambien or Lunesta? It would require a lot less time and effort and will probably make you sleep during your needed 8 hour period. If I had to work nights, that is what I'd do...

  25. Nursing conditions

    HelloWish replied to Mary3010's topic in Nursing Career

    You have to consider that starting out in nursing, you may have to work in the hospital setting on your feet. I started out working 9 months on a surgical unit and then transferred to a clinic...
