  2. Injured nurse, out of work a year, feeling lost

    LessValuableNinja replied to lostinjurednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Start slow. It's in your nature to jump into something headfirst. But your body and brain can't quite agree. I'd advise looking for something part time or PRN at first. See how it feels, both...

  3. Gave a med I shouldn't have given... worried about repercussions

    LessValuableNinja replied to tired_panda's topic in Patient Medications

    That would be excellent advice, if labetalol didn't peak (variable based on met/clearance) at around 30 minutes, and have a half life of 5.5ish hours, the latter less important in some patients, more...

  12. Do I want to be a nurse anymore?

    LessValuableNinja replied to mandreu's topic in General Nursing

    Breathe. Then take another breath. Visualize yourself where you want to be in ten years. And realize your current job is temporary, and helps you pay the bills while in school. Not many people love...

  19. Getting all 50 US Licenses

    LessValuableNinja replied to Shineyfam's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't trying to insinuate. I was asking, because I want to eventually do some telephonic/video nursing, and wasn't sure how it works. I just wanted to know how you did it. I didn't know it applied...
