    ICURN3020 replied to sherman_k's topic in General Nursing

  4. A question of ethics

    ICURN3020 replied to Kris0215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good point.....I was wondering when it would ever be appropriate to use a patient as a reference. I'm not familiar with home care or private duty nursing. My question is wouldn't home care/private...

  5. JUST a nurse

    ICURN3020 replied to Knights Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can't say that I have. Those closest to me know that I considered medical school but ultimately chose nursing. In my opinion, nurses are the backbone of healthcare. Without us, the whole thing...

  6. Help me feel better about this - Full time 8 hour nights

    ICURN3020 replied to amyshell's topic in General Nursing

    I did 8 hour nights for a very short period of time. I took a 3 12's position as soon as possible as that schedule was miserable. I only had 2 days off in a row twice a month (my weekends off)!...

  7. Dealing with a new, difficult boss - tips on staying sane?

    ICURN3020 replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since it is (hopefully) a temporary situation, my strategy would probably be to grin and bear it. She sounds like she would be very draining to be around, but at this point, you don't have much...

    ICURN3020 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  9. Most Frustrating Thing ?

    ICURN3020 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Wow....my kids' school calling is one phone call I will answer anytime, anywhere. I could be having lunch with the President and I'd still answer. How sad for those children that their parents...

  10. Have you started antidepressants since becoming a nurse?

    ICURN3020 replied to Nola009's topic in Health, Stress Management

    CBT is amazing....definitely worth a try

  11. Nursing Student

    ICURN3020 replied to murphy4302000's topic in General Students

    It's possible, but I imagine it will be difficult. Enlist the help of willing family and friends. Plan ahead and keep to a schedule to use your time effectively. Is it possible to only work...

  12. PTSD as a result of nursing clinicals?

    ICURN3020 replied to tortorRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Definitely seek professional help for your anxiety. Although some view those with anxiety as "weak" and advise to "just suck it up / tough it out", those of us with anxiety and anyone educated on it...

  13. Need Nurse's help on school assignment

    ICURN3020 replied to strespin's topic in Nursing Career

  15. Anyone ever regret going from FT to PT?

    ICURN3020 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you're going to have to worry about being bored with a new baby ☺I would work part-time if you're able to...you'll never be able to get the baby years back. That time is so precious...

  16. Nursing Entrance

    ICURN3020 replied to guest824145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see. That does seem a somewhat high GPA for admission requirements. To my knowledge, it's usually more along the lines of 3.00 or somewhere around there. Is this a highly competitive program?...

  17. Nursing Entrance

    ICURN3020 replied to guest824145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you think that your GPA would be viewed as "horrible"? You obviously are well above the minimum required GPA for nursing school per your post. Is your intent to become a

  18. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    ICURN3020 replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with the previous posters. It is immature and inconsiderate to accept and start a postion knowing full well you won't be around long (and not informing the employer at the time of hiring)....

  20. Eating for one - SO works opposite shift

    ICURN3020 replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    ICURN3020 replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There are differences between your patient (dementia/confused) and the patient (alert/oriented) in the article.....however I'm not sure how these differences play a part in whether or not the patient...

  24. Have you ever cried in front of the relatives?

    ICURN3020 replied to Purple_roses's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a general rule, I do not cry with or in front of patients or their families. It is not because I'm cold or heartless, I just don't want to make the situation about me or my feelings and get too...
