  5. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    apillarofsalt replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. My husband and I prioritise experiences over things, so we do splurge on vacations, but we can afford to. Our home is paid off and we don't buy new cars before we need to. Spending money...

    apillarofsalt replied to Talka_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  10. ER vs. L&D

    apillarofsalt replied to auson16's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ED if you like variety and work well under pressure, L&D if you have a passion for women's health. I'm transitioning from ED to L&D and they're so different. I'm glad I did ED first, because...

  11. How to respond when residents say "I love you" (in a family way)

    apillarofsalt replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with the last two posters--with altered cognition, you have to prioritise the patients well-being and self images. Certainly do only what makes you comfortable, but I don't think a simple ILY...

  15. Precepting New Grads

    apillarofsalt replied to EDRNCCmom's topic in Emergency

    apillarofsalt replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    apillarofsalt replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    It is hard, but you have to make a decision to get through it. Are you allowed to be angry/frustrated/upset? Of course. But you can be all those things and get through it. What you can't do if you...

  24. BREAKS?????? You've gotta be kidding!

    apillarofsalt replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    If you aren't able to take a break on a 12, you are either a poor planner and need to organise yourself better, or your workplace is screwing you over by not having enough coverage/proper management....
