Stop holding yourself to a standard that no one else is holding you to. You're a student. Accept it and revel in it. You're going to "get in the way" of other nurses going about every day tasks. Don't apologize, it's just what students do, and it's ...

At the risk of sounding offensive, I would stop all of your test-specific preparation and find an English tutor. From your grammar and sentence structure, I would venture a guess that English is not your first language. Because so much of NCLEX relie...

When you paint yourself into the corner of "no one can tell me", you eliminate any and all possibility of progress being made. Attitude problems are not exclusively a function "them". They are a two-way street. "Their" attitude problems have much to ...

You're worldly! You're sinful! You're no good! You're a worse nurse than you could be for not believing what I do! You can't make it on your own! Only God can change your ways! And I "have to respect that"? No. No I don't. Freedom of religion means ...

Nursing takes up 81% of your facility's budget!?!? If that's true, it's a miracle that your facility manages to keep the doors open at all! I'd be shredding nursing employment contracts at a pace fast enough to make an Enron executive jealous. Howeve...

Own your attitude! Don't ever let yourself get sucked into spiral of self-pity. There are a hundred things a day you could find to be critical of and complain about. And in most cases you'd be justified. No one would fault you for being aggravated ab...

You've worked for 3 YEARS in the same dysfunctional work environment with the same dysfunctional management alongside the same dysfunctional coworkers and you don't know what to do? LEAVE! This clearly is not the place for you! But having read throu...

Having worked inpatient oncology, I mirror your sentiment, Luckyyou. Although I'm a professed atheist, I cannot bring myself to conclusively say that there is no god or higher power. I simply don't have the facts to back that one up. I can say, howev...

If you had any other realistic offers on the horizon, I would say wait until you have all the answers in hand and then choose your best path. In the absence of any other prospects, however, I'd say you'd be foolish not to take what's being offered. ...
