About Eschell2971

Eschell2971 has 4 years experience as a BSN and specializes in Med-Surge; Forensic Nurse.

I am a Med-Surge RN, & a Forensic Nurse . I love to dance, read, write, travel, and cook. My professional plans include ongoing professional development as a Forensic Nurse, attending a professional nursing convention, and traveling for work. Having flexibility & choice in my career are important factors to assist me in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I have been given so many wonderful opportunities in life, for which I am so grateful. If you know me, you will often hear me humming a gospel song of praise or see me break out in a dance. I love to laugh-even at myself!

    Eschell2971 replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would stop letting it "eat me up." It sounds like you did everything you were supposed to do, followed protocol, and used your nursing judgement. I would make sure you write down everything you have...
