  1. Getting into the OR

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

    Can you move to the Midwest if opportunities are there? I have no clue how much you are willing to work in the OR or if you are flexible

  2. Is it true, that if you don't like being a CNA, you won't like being a nurse?

    Green Tea, RN replied to tmurph704's topic in General Students

    When I was still working on a Med-Surg floor, I loved to be assigned as a circulator nurse for a shift. Being a circulator is basically doing CNA's tasks when CNA is short on the floor. I loved it...

  3. I hate that everyone knows I speak Spanish !

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

    My institution clearly prohibits a nurse to serve as an interpreter unless s/he is certified. I'm bilingual (English is my second language), but I'm not comfortable to interpret at work especially for...

  4. RN shortage

    Green Tea, RN replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a Midwestern state, and I see both nurse shortage and deliberate short staffing. In my institution, even specialized areas (such as OR or ICU) hire new graduates. I have met a couple nurses...

  5. Do I Really Want Nursing School?

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

    When I was in nursing school, more I studied, more I got disappointed. Don't get me wrong. I felt that way because nursing was different from what I thought. I didn't tell anyone in the program about...

  6. Graduating soon, feeling unprepared

    Green Tea, RN replied to GL191211's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I am not a new graduate nurse anymore, I still have questions at work daily. I recently transferred to a speciality area in the same hospital. What I have learned so far is that asking...

  8. How do you feel about being a nurse?

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

    I feel being a nurse was a wrong career choice to me. I am going back to school for something other than

  9. successfully doing sciences over the summer

    Green Tea, RN replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    About ten years ago, I took A&P l and ll over 12 weeks (6 weeks each) in summer. I remember it was pretty intense because I had to memorize tons in a short period of time. But it was worth it...

  10. I have a real problem with ancillary staff and am at my wits end. I need help.

    Green Tea, RN replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in a similar work place. I hear you. I was tired of lazy nurse aids who would not do what they were delegated to, and I ended up doing everything. Also, I was sick to hear their...

  11. New grad, hate nursing! Feel like quitting!

    Green Tea, RN replied to harumi22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like you, I'm introverted and I don't like dealing with people including patients, family members, doctors, and nurse aids. During my Med-Surg orientation, I noticed I did not like bedside nursing and...
