  1. Student trying to decide to Stay in Nursing School or Not

    Green Tea, RN replied to paola1422's topic in General Students

    I was like you when I was in a nursing program. I realized I didn't like nursing on my half way through the program. I didn't quit it because it was competitive to get into the program and I really...

  2. Too shy and quiet to be a nurse

    Green Tea, RN replied to CMerin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on where you work, but I think you will not have enough time to sit down and interact with each of your patients if you are a med-surg nurse. I'm an introvert too. I didn't find it...

  3. Wire or cord management in the OR?

    Green Tea, RN replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    If they are serious about employee's safety, they can solve the problem by getting more booms from ceiling. But another problem is that if they wanna pay for them. Often times, they prioritize their...

  4. Needing Advise!!!

    Green Tea, RN replied to asnewnurse2017's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the OR. I think you should not have chosen the OR if it was not your first choice because the OR is quite different from other nursing specialities. If I were you, I would submit a two weeks...

  5. Is Age ever a problem

    Green Tea, RN replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think nursing schools will discriminate you on age. When I was a nursing student (in a BSN program), 2/3 of students had a non-nursing bachelor's degree already and being a traditional student...

  6. Thinking about quitting

    Green Tea, RN replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know your financial situation, but why don't you be part time at work if you can afford? Just dropping 0.2 FTE makes difference. I'm just suggesting an opinion because I wanna remind you...

  7. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    Green Tea, RN replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I feel "nursing shortage" is misleading in my honest opinion. I would say some facilities have issues in retention. Nurses don't want to stay in the facility because of reasons. The facility I work...

  8. 2 year contracts????

    Green Tea, RN replied to Nursestef2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think you like this, but some hospitals require contracts because they don't wanna hire new graduates like you who only wanna work a year and leave. Training new graduates cost. They only want...

  9. Can't get a job

    Green Tea, RN replied to Dadrie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When I was working on a med surg floor (in Midwest), I met an RN who was from Florida. He told me it was impossible for him as a new graduate to get a job in Florida, so he was relocated to Midwest....

  10. Contractually Obligated - Hate my job

    Green Tea, RN replied to CptCari's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I work in the OR. I know some people who work in the OR can be nasty and even abusive. You may know already, but the culture will not be changed. Management doesn't care. It's sad though. I am not...

  11. Etiquette in the OR?

    Green Tea, RN replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    First of all, there is a fact that approximately 70% of adult population in this country are either overweight or obese (according to CDC.) I work as a circulator RN (BMI 22), and majority of patients...

  12. Feeling burnt and down

    Green Tea, RN replied to Burnttoasts's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are saying that being a nurse was your family's dream. Then what YOU wanted to be? You don't have to tell me, but why don't you cut back hours at work and start doing for what you really wanted to...

  13. I hate nursing!!

    Green Tea, RN replied to Mistb13's topic in Nursing Career

    I was like you. I realized I didn't like nursing when I was a nursing student, but I didn't quit because I was already half way through the program. Also, it was because I studied so hard to get in to...

  14. Transition from Operating room RN to Med Surg Floor?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Chocolate39's topic in General Nursing

    I got a year of med-surg experience before I transferred to the OR. I felt it was challenging to have 6-7 patients (nights) on med-surg. In order to not to forget tasks, I organized patients...

  15. Does anyone here like nursing?

    Green Tea, RN replied to bluestar776's topic in General Nursing

    I have a nurse friend who is still in her 20s and has only 1-2 years of med surg experience. She broke her back lately and now she doesn't know what to do with her nursing career. She hasn't been able...

  16. Please help me - dread going to work

    Green Tea, RN replied to Newnurse8123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been a nurse about two years. I have worked on med-surg and OR so far. I don't like either one. Actually when I was in a nursing school, I already realized that nursing was not for me. When I...

  17. What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?

    Green Tea, RN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Education solely is not enough to change people's

  18. RN looking for a transition from bedside nursing, feeling stuck

    Green Tea, RN replied to LaurieMakingA'way's topic in Nursing Career

    I have a year of med surg and another year of operating room experience so far. I honestly regret from chosing nursing. I don't like it. I currently work part time in the OR and take a few graduate...

  19. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    Green Tea, RN replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work 12 hour night shift and didn't like it. Near end of shift, I often had a headache because I was too tired. I'm feeling much better with 8 hour day shift

  20. Starting Nursing after 4 years off

    Green Tea, RN replied to tindera's topic in General Nursing

    I was like you that I got my first nursing job four years after college graduation. After graduation, I moved to a foreign country where my family lived and stayed there for four years. After moving...

  21. Is going back to school in NYC for nursing worth it?

    Green Tea, RN replied to selinayasin's topic in Nursing Career

    I highly recommend you to work as a nurse aid (or LPN like your mom suggested) and to see if you like nursing. Going to nursing school requires a lot of investment of both time and money. In addition,...

  22. Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

    Green Tea, RN replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working on med-surg for my first nursing job, a nurse educator came to see me after my shift frequently as part of my residency program. She was not a psychologist, but I can kind of relate...

  23. Is this okay?

    Green Tea, RN replied to NewcallRN's topic in General Nursing

    I felt this topic a little bit funny because very similar thing happened to me when I internally transferred last year. I got a job in another unit and HR suggested me a start date four weeks away. I...

  24. Everyday Nurse problems

    Green Tea, RN replied to babarfirasat's topic in General Nursing

    Anything innovative? I don't need those. After all, they are expensive. If a manager has the money to buy innovative equipments, I hope she will purchase more basic equipments instead. When I was...

  25. Does DNP help financially?

    Green Tea, RN replied to WinterWolf90's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think it depends on what you wanna do with a DNP. I was disappointed when the local master's FNP program I was thinking to apply was transited to DNP. I just wanted to be a FNP and work in a clinic,...
