    Nurses with eating disorders?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    But those definitions are arbitrary. They changed enormously just from the DSM-IV to V. I believe that disordered eating and eating disorders fall on a spectrum, with the mildly unhealthy habits on...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to thank everyone who has pointed out that most people with eating disorders are not underweight. My symptoms and weight have been at both ends of the spectrum. When I'm in a restricting...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of people have talked about jumping ship because the website & mobile site are unwieldy. If I do so, it will be because I am tired of everyone slinging acid. "Someone has already posted that...

    I am on the older end of the millenials, and my first job was a year of LTC/SAR. I did everything I could to be a safe, caring nurse, but I was working for a facility where the doctor was lazy, the...

    $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. I have a friend who put in 15 years at McDonald's. They made sure to keep her under FT hours so she couldn't get benefits. The good news is, she's finally pursuing teaching, a career that...
