  1. Realizing that Nursing is Not for Me

    anewsns replied to S.Loft's topic in General Nursing

    What happened to the original career idea ? Can you use your psych degree ? With honesty and a two week notice there is no risk of burning bridges. Assuming your cohorts are reasonable. It's hard to...

  2. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    anewsns replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in General Nursing

    There is actually more of a shortage of nursing educators, so they can only accept a limited number of applicants. My theory is that experienced nurses are either retiring or getting more educated and...

  3. confused

    anewsns replied to diosa1623's topic in General Nursing

    I'm unsure of the question. I think "encourage" basically means explain risks and benefits before you turn them so they have a chance to refuse, of course with emphasis on risks. Which we do anyway...

  4. NP Or Educator?

    anewsns replied to anewsns's topic in General Nursing

    Staying at my current job gets my loans paid off and almost free education at a good school. There are not too many financial concerns. If I get more money as an NP maybe could also focus more on my...

  6. New nurse assistant but already want to quit

    anewsns replied to amz93's topic in General Nursing

    For me personally , my hardest time in nursing was my first 6 months as a CNA. Not as a nurse. I just cried and cried and slept all the time and it was awful. I was like 22. Things got better over...

    anewsns replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

  8. this is why I want to call off on my last day

    anewsns replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    After I left my recent job (on excellent terms, and got a good party ).. one of my coworkers posted a cake on my fb wall that said .. "you're dead to us. We hope you fail".. I was pretty silly on the...

  9. this is why I want to call off on my last day

    anewsns replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    No, I would not do that. It's just one day and it's the wrong thing. Don't do the wrong thing just because it's tradition. You'll feel better about yourself to leave with decency. There are all sorts...

  10. A calling that I didn't want to answer

    anewsns replied to aquakenn's topic in Nursing Career

    Callings aren't always obvious , they just unfold as you get new information. It's really amazing to see. Nursing can be a really tough world. Keep taking those steps and talking to God. I felt a few...

  11. Quitting first RN job

    anewsns replied to hnwarden's topic in Nursing Career

    Well it depends on how much your well being is at risk. I'm more of a proponent of mental health than experience. If you think it's just some new grad anxiety then sure maybe try to stay. But if...

  14. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    anewsns replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is the most insecure post ever. How can you be good at something and yet not be proud of what you do? For me I really couldn't stand long term care. It was too difficult, too many rules that...

  15. Where will I have the least amount of contact with men?

    anewsns replied to nightflower's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This OP raises some assumptions on my part, But this is a serious problem . Whatever your aversion to men , you've gotta get help. I don't know your exact sutuation but maybe in the future you could...

  16. help/advice new rn recently fired for dumb mistake

    anewsns replied to jkdrn's topic in General Nursing

    Lol for some reason I completely ignored the "friend" part all together like it wasn't even there. It reminds me of a 90s TV show with all the awkward situations in which one would want to ask for...

  17. help/advice new rn recently fired for dumb mistake

    anewsns replied to jkdrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would lean towards honesty. I wouldnt want that coming out somehow later (which is always possible) and having my employer lose trust in

  18. Nurses from an artistic/creative background?

    anewsns replied to kammel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm bumping this thread if possible.. I was just thinking of heading in the opposite direction.. I came from a poor background but am also the creative type. My heart is dragging me back to artistic...

  20. Did I make a mistake by going into nursing?

    anewsns replied to nrsstudent05's topic in General Students

    Not being suited for nursing does not reflect badly on you in any way even if it is a highly regarded profession. It's good that you're recognizing this

    anewsns replied to Take2inRI's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think it's not bad now.. Portland is nice- the parking is not great, not bad.. It depends on the campus really. If you do like Portland and Gorham classes on a weekday be prepared for a lot of...

  23. 7-3 vs 11-7 LTC rehab

    anewsns replied to rnguy253's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I like days because if stuff comes up you can collaborate with a bunch of people.. The independence of the other two shifts sometimes makes me scared.. I'm mostly a 3-11 girl for a variety of other...
