    Never hesitate to ask advice from someone more experienced than you, or from someone who has done something that you have not done. I have had a lot of experience in nursing but I will always ask...

    Non-Hospital Nursing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There's no story to tell. It was a great job for a while but then I found some non-hospital nursing gigs. I really liked the customers although there was definitely some estrogen-driven drama there,...

    My Job Cut My Hours By Half... Should I quit right away?

    How to spot a bad nurse

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like Nicholas had a mental break and totally snapped. Maybe he was sleep deprived and working too many hours and that contributed to his mental break. Obviously he was out of his right mind,...

    There have been criminal prosecutions in other professions when someone's negligence causes death or destruction. I googled this one and thought it had some similarities. The pilot wasn't accused of...

    ER or home health?

    Emergent replied to amac21's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, your support system is vital information. Personally I loved the ER. It was really great working directly with the doctors and a very dynamic atmosphere. I recently started the home...

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing
