    TAKOO01 replied to Sav789's topic in Health, Stress Management

  6. As a Bedside Nurse, What is More Important to you in a Manager?

    TAKOO01 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe that is true in some cases, klone. Bureaucracy can be a thing. In my case I know that it wasn't that. No union on the job, and when I went to the manager with concerns, I was told...

  11. Should I stay or try to leave?

    TAKOO01 replied to Sweetpea04's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Corrections Nurse vs Psychiatric Nurse?

    TAKOO01 replied to MercyMia's topic in Nursing Career

    TAKOO01 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree with the suggestion to apply to SNFs. This will get your foot in the clinical door. On a different note, reading your question makes me wonder if managers and preceptors read the posts on...
