Taken out of context- Basically, I have witnessed numerous times nurses quitting their jobs because the environment created by coworkers. If we could be more understanding, and less judgemental, helpful and open-minded rather than putting others down...
I'm pretty introverted but also shy with people I don't know (mainly coworkers- not patients, which is weird). It constantly makes me wonder what others are thinking of me- I wish I could stop that!! Has anyone bonded with a coworker over being intr...

I am a new nurse as well and I am so nervous about that. The best thing to do would be just express how you feel and try to not let emotions get the best of you. Women are mean..I truly believe the work place would go a lot smoother if women empowere...

Med surg. was challenging. Ob/Peds almost failed me. My advice is for every hour of lecture, study 2-3. Make note cards, posters, anything to change up the study habits so you don't get bored. What REALLY REALLY helped me grasp information from med. ...
I feel like you were attacked. While you were in the wrong, every nurse makes mistakes. I think the words they said to you were to harsh, as you did see you were wrong, and apologized. I'm sorry. But don't let them bring you down. You have made it 6 ...

Very intense BSNbeDONE..but my question is, what if you do freeze up? Being a new grad. I am forever scared that I won't handle situations like these correctly!
My school is accredited through Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Does this only allow me to work in the states listed on their website (southern states) or can I also work in CA? Im from Va
