  2. Is this a crime?

    Cat365 replied to itsybitsy's topic in General Nursing

    Cat365 replied to yk13's topic in General Nursing

  8. When do you know when it's time to move on? Need advice!

    Cat365 replied to kacs13's topic in General Nursing

    Can you dip your feet in with part time? I always have trouble with change if I like where I'm at. It's easier for me to change gradually. I also am a bit of a control freak. I dislike feeling as if I...

  9. Nursing Shoes/Haglund's Deformity

    Cat365 replied to nurseburst's topic in General Nursing

    Cat365 replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

  17. "I'm a nurse!"

    Cat365 replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

  23. Getting through nursing school with mental health problems

    Cat365 replied to WalkingBread's topic in General Students

    Are you under a physicians care for these issues? Do you see a therapist? If not I think that this step should be the first one. Kudos to you for acknowledging your problems and not letting them hold...
