  2. Graduate Degree in Engineering? (Career switch worth it?)

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

  3. I Hurt A Patient

    Green Tea, RN replied to MInurse.st's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in the OR as an RN. I have worked a long shift like you did. I have worked with barely minimum help (this is a regular occurrence especially when I was on call). What I have learned...

  4. Is calling off for burnout a thing?

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

    I think I probably see calling off a bit different from you. I do not feel ashamed to call off if I am sick or cannot function at 100% due to mental health. I have seen coworkers who come to work sick...

    Green Tea, RN replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    You may not wanna hear this, but one of the things I learned when I was working as a nurse was do not help other people to seek something in return. Why? Because it is disappointing or even you may...

  7. Switching Careers from Nursing because I hate it so much

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

    One of a few pros of working as a nurse is that many nursing jobs are flexible. If you can afford, maybe it is a good idea to be part time on your nursing job and use your extra free time to prepare...

  9. Extreme anxiety no longer want to be a nurse

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

    I have pretty bad social anxiety too. I feel you. I have suffered from it since I was little, and it is one of those things I cannot change no matter what. After working two years as a nurse...

  10. Afraid of dying

    Green Tea, RN replied to haveyourbowelsmoved's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Death is scary. I am also concerned to get something irreversible, like permanent damage in the lungs, and you may have to live the rest of the life with respiratory issues. It is a new virus. We do...

  11. Non-compliance with Social Distancing

    Green Tea, RN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Coronavirus may not kill healthy young people even if they get infected, but it does not necessarily mean they can live the rest of your life healthy. They may survive from the virus, but they may...

  12. Should I go through with nursing?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Guest1118589's topic in General Students

    I saw you listed psychology and nursing. What about others? Why don't you go to the field of engineering, computer science, or

  13. Has anyone ever passed out during an emergency or have felt faint? How do you get over the feeling if it comes on?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Newbie32's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a nursing student, I almost passed out by watching circumcision on a newborn baby. The baby boy was agitated and made me nauseated and dizzy. I became a surgical nurse a couple years later....

  14. I need guidance

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

    I found I made a mistake choosing nursing after I got into a nursing program. I graduated anyway and became a nurse. I have been a nurse for four years (a year of med surg and the rest in the OR). I...

  15. I wrote up a surgeon and looking for advice

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

    You should really watch how your management reacts and acts to the safety issues you have experienced and reported. If they do nothing or do not back you up, maybe you should look for a new job. The...

  16. My Parents are Nurses and Don’t Support My Withdrawal from Nursing School

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

    I asked the financial question because ACR has many options how to proceed to become a RD from the point where she is right now. Seemingly she is doing good in her LPN to RN school, and i do not feel...

  18. So we have enough nurses nursing supervisor, really?

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

    Working as a nurse, it did not take long for me to realize that the management cares their position and salary only. Dangerous nurse to patient ratio? None of their business.

  19. new nurse- NP or PA school?

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

    If you do not like nursing, it is okay to leave. I found nursing was not for me, and I'm on my way to the exit (I go to school and work as a nurse part time). From my observation, nurses complain...

  20. Advice needed about changing majors... I feel like I've made a mistake

    Green Tea, RN replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Before making any decisions about this, how is the nursing market for new graduates in your area? I am asking because you may not find a nursing job either even if you get a nursing degree if your...

  21. Guys, I'm an unintentional job hopper.

    Green Tea, RN replied to Tink87's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you are still employed, i call it good. Nowdays i feel it is not easy for a nurse to find a place to work for a long period of time anyway. Good

  22. Feeling lost, need advice

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

    I am glad to hear you are safe with your support system now. You are not a failure. I do not necessarily feel going into nursing was a mistake to you. I personally know a nurse who was from out of...

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

    I read your whole topic, but i have hard time understanding why you feel you are incompetent and stupid. By reading your post, i did not feel much of problems at your workplace. Maybe you are just...

  24. I'm a nurse, and believe it or not, I want to be a tech/assistant

    Green Tea, RN replied to Uhs_769's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working on a med/surg floor, I saw a nurse aide who used to be a LPN. I don't know the details (LPN licensure, pay, etc) of the lady though. The hospital had chronic retention issue of both...

  25. How can I figure out if nursing is right for me?

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

    By reading your posts, I am kinda convinced that if you jump into nursing without knowing what is real, you will most likely be ended up in disappointment. Let me give you a real life example on...
