    jobellestarr replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

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

    jobellestarr replied to Cabana's topic in General Nursing

  10. Is it normal to hate my job this much?

    jobellestarr replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    The PICC certification is outside of your work. Think of how great it would be when it came time to transfer if you had that very cert in your hand or at least were actively working on it. Times a...

  14. Advice please? Stressing and struggling new nurse in ICU and not doing well

    jobellestarr replied to lackofconfidence12's topic in General Nursing

    I think every nearly work place has an employee assistance program especially if you are working in a hospital. It would be listed in the HR info. Or you could call HR and

  15. Advice please? Stressing and struggling new nurse in ICU and not doing well

    jobellestarr replied to lackofconfidence12's topic in General Nursing

    I think it’s hard all around right now. Do you have any outside and at work support? There is usually free counseling through your employee assistance program. I strongly urge you to seek counseling...

    jobellestarr replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Travel

    I’m so sorry that this happened to you. And that you may not ever understand the why. Maybe you were too inexperienced or maybe just that they overbooked. It sounds to me like you need to consider...
