Where are you based? I'm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I'm thinking either ER or ICU since both fields require continuing education. What, in your experience, is the hardest nursing field?

I'm almost 25. I want to try out the hardest type of nursing to challenge myself.

Hard as in the specialty that requires the most amount of critical thinking and the field of nursing which has the fastest pace.

I'm going to start working as soon as I pass the NCLEX. I have heard a lot about bullying in the nursing field. I was wondering what is the most severe form of bullying you've seen in your career? I want to prepare myself psychologically for the wors...

I was in my last semester of nursing school, and there was one nurse at the the hospital in which I was placed at who really didn't like me for whatever reason. She would ignore me at lunchtime, and other nurses who saw this followed (these nurses di...

As a student in her final year, the most complex clinical procedure for me has to be cleaning and packing a wound. I did this numerous times during clinical. What about you?
