I recently had a discussion with someone who views nursing as "just a job". But I feel it's more than that. They are using the fact that I am a new nurse against me and saying that basically I will...
Hello all! Here to say that I am a brand new nurse and just passed NCLEX not even a week ago! I start my new job as an RN July 20th and frankly, I'm quite nervous! Is there any advice you can offer to...
Yes, yes. We all know I screwed up by now and I took something somewhere it didn't need to go. But jensmom is right, the attention needs to go back to the
I think I have been misunderstood in my getting heated up over something, I apologize. I didn't intend to "hijack" this thread. What I was intending to say from the start and it did get out of hand...
I just felt that I heard this before in other situations and the nurse was not very kind to their patients. And they said this exact thing. And so I stated how I felt.
And that's what I was trying to say. You just said it better. I'm not talking about taking the work home with me. But I am talking about not wanting to end up saying its just a
I'm not. It's kind of upsetting, however, when someone comes at you that "blunt", especially if you are newer. I will most assuredly listen to those that don't talk down to me. I understand I'm newer,...
Okay so let me just say....I'm not talking about obsessing over them. What I'm talking about is just compassion and empathy. Another thing...I know I'm not "super" 365 days a year. A friend came up...
Can you really not do that? I want other peoples opinions. It's sad that a lot of people I've seen up here like to argue with one another and try to prove points. I thought being apart of this was...
I'd rather have my pleasant thoughts than to go in there thinking like that. I'm allowed to be excited and I'm allowed to go in with that mentality. It's not very fair for those "experienced nurses"...
Okay and so what. You're using my time of being a new nurse to try and make your point. When I know great nurses with my mentality. Again, I feel sorry for those under your
Being a nurse is a privilege. And a calling. If your feelings aren't in it at all, what kind of nurse can you be? If I am going to be a great nurse, I want to be able to put myself in their shoes and...
I don't believe that matters. Whether I've been a nurse 5 years, 10 years, or 20. I have and will never look at it that way. If I did, I would hate what I
I wouldn't say it's "just a job". It's a job where you are taking care of others and they depend on you to do just that. If you think of it as " just a job", how can you be compassionate and caring...
So Friday, May 29th, I walked in to take the biggest test of my life. Sat down and began answering questions to the best of my ability. All the sudden, the computer shuts off. At 75. Could I already...
I think the only goal of this post was to stress that it isn't reliable and to not bank on a "good" or "bad" pop up because nothing is certain unless you pay that $8 or wait for your name on the
