So maybe it is more of an anxiety issue or just completely want to let go of nursing. I am a 28 yr old whose got around 5 years of nursing experience. I have tried multiple areas such as LTC (6 months),complex continuing care/palliative care (maybe 2...

Thank you for all your comments and words of encouragement and support. I just feel like I find myself really really not liking case management and/or sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time looking and reviewing so many medical repor...

Hi everyone, It's my first time posting a topic here and looking forward for some opinions. So I'm sort of in a tough situation I guess. I had been hired in two agencies, one agency is for different long term care facilities and the other one is di...

So I had just finished my 7 months in a medicine unit and always still felt anxious and just didn't like working there even with supportive coworkers. I thought to myself that maybe medicine is really not for me as I realized I don't really perform w...

Has anybody ever went back to what they are comfortable in even in a non acute place?

Hi allnurses, I would really like to hear your opinion regarding something I am sort of indecisive/unsure about... Basically I've been a nurse for a little over a year and the past 7 months I've been a new RN in a Complex Continuing Care/Palliative c...

Hi allnurses! So I've been prescribed Paxil today due to anxiety issues which I will be taking the first dose (12.5mg) tonight before I go to sleep. I've been wanting to ask allnurses, especially nurses who are or was on Paxil, what their experiences...

I got quite depressed just a few days ago over a small thing that I made a big deal of and I don't know what occurred to me to suddenly take triple of my dosage of Paxil on that day. Luckily I was on a small dose of 12.5 mg....

I'm only on Paxil 12.5 mg... how is 37.5 mg on Paxil affecting your anxiety/stress?

I would love to just be me, without the anxiety too. It's frustrating to feel this way everyday. Optimism can get me far but anxiety just pulls me down harder...

Hi All Nurses! So I have been just recently hired in Complex Continuing Care Unit in a hospital and I am both excited and very nervous as well since I have not practiced in a hospital for almost 2 years now since I graduated in 2014. My recent experi...

Ohhh i see.. So is it really like LTC when the RPNs usually give the meds and do wound treatments, etc and the RNs do a lot of paperwork for the most part? I know its quite similar to LTC.. But what would be some of the differences? And is it the sam...

I'm located on Ontario, Canada and currently working in one of the hospitals in the GTA :) Ohh thats good that there's a mix of rehab, palliative, and patients waiting for LTC placement.

I had asked my agency if I could have a day or two to shadow a nurse (without pay) so that I could get used to or at least have an idea of how my routine should be in a floor and getting used to the hospital. They had told me that their clients may n...

I have just recently applied to a critical care course online that runs for 8 months and hopefully will help advance and give me a better chance in getting a job *fingers crossed*

I'm not sure and it's not like I completely lied about my experiences. I thought this would have been a chance to gain experience and with endless opportunities by going to different units. I did not research enough about agency nursing at the time a...

Ohhh that's unfortunate... did she end up quitting agency afterwards?

Thank you for all your feedback.. I feel I should let go of agency nursing for now and move on.. I'll just wait for a better opportunity where I can hone my skills and confidence :)

I guess its sort of like a float nurse but I don't have experience as a float nurse either so I can't really imagine working as a new nurse to different hospitals and units..
