    Meerkats replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a few months into my first year of working as an RN. What is harder is the PTSD from nursing school. (lol) No, really. Nursing school pressure was more difficult for me. And I've had some tough...

  14. Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    Meerkats replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    This is a great idea. I will see if I can get a prn hospital gig after my BSN. I believe I can be a substitute school nurse even with my ADN. I'll try to get in to do both. And yes, I do have some...

  15. Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    Meerkats replied to Meerkats's topic in School

  17. Why pediatrics?

    Meerkats replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Pediatric

    I have only been a peds nurse for a couple of months (Home Health), but I echo the sentiments above. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. The patients do bring out the kid in me, even with the...

  22. Becoming a Master Juggler

    Meerkats replied to kclawson916's topic in General Students
