  5. Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    rearviewmirror replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    rearviewmirror replied to Julia Ashcroft's topic in General Nursing

    hi Julia, that question would be same as me asking an engineer on how to become a specialty engineer. Can you elaborate? ER? ICU? OR? case management?

  11. Work place burn out

    rearviewmirror replied to thebdon's topic in General Nursing

    people thinking like they are at a hotel and the administration allowing that mindset. When I worked at ED, I didn't have time for puffing up pillows and wheeling people to bathroom (how the hell did...

  13. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    rearviewmirror replied to My_toe_sis's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I learned in nursing, especially in ED, was that passion/calling doesn't make a competent nurse. It takes competent, responsible person to be competent nurse. I was never compassionate and...

    rearviewmirror replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. Administrative HELP!

    rearviewmirror replied to fettywap's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with been.there.done.that. Why is the staff morale low? Why are they angry and don't care? What unit are you running? In your defense though, there are some nurses who just don't care and are...

  19. Am I right about nursing?

    rearviewmirror replied to Monsoon8181's topic in General Nursing
