I am a Med-Surg RN. I have been a nurse for 3 years. I love my profession and all the endless opportunities out there. Nursing is challenging, rewarding, depressing, uplifting, stressful, but overall worth it.
I am a patient advocate, a leader, a change agent, team member, and very compassionate nurse.
I am dedicated to my profession and to uplifting the profession of nursing.
Every patient is special and they should always feel that way.

That's awesome. I was at my previous job for 2+ years and politics from management and the workload caused me to start looking elsewhere. I've learned that if you can't fix it or make change then move...

Thanks I really felt like quitting. I've been a long term looker for many years even before I became a nurse, looking for my first job, and interview tips for the job I just landed. I felt I should...

Ok good for you. I am not getting college credit either. To think I came on a nursing board to actually talk to professional nurses about topics I am interested in and all I am getting is backlash....

Why does it matter if I'M the one that gets along with everyone. I came on here as a new member making my posts. Asking for advice in one post, trying to have meaningful conversations in this one,...
