  1. My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Guest941822 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

  2. Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Guest941822 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Omg I love that show!!! Binge watch it when I should be sleeping. I'm definitely Zoey. I wish I were more like Jackie, but I'm a Zoey through and through. But there's a place for me too in nursing....

  3. 2/20: what I learned this week: people do not understand TB

    Guest941822 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing I've relearned... Some nurses just inspire you to be better. I floated to a different floor and worked alongside one of those type nurses. I'm thankful for those types. They work hard...

  4. Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Guest941822 replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe try being a hospital sitter or CNA first. If you hate doing both of those, don't go into

    Guest941822 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    One of the biggest and most life changing lessons I've learned is that death can be more merciful than life. Sometimes people die of their disease and that's okay because, for them, to live would mean...

  6. Nurse Bullying

    Guest941822 replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Problems with co-workers will always be a leading cause of leaving your job, whatever job that may be. In my experience, there is so much drama in female-dominated workplaces. In jobs I worked that...

  7. Should I leave this racist town?

    Guest941822 replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm from the South. Please know that many people fly Confederate flags because they equate it with Southern heritage and culture, not necessarily racism. One of my good friends who flies that flag...

    Guest941822 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hello, everyone. I am considering nursing purely to be a hospice nurse. I hear that most hospices prefer nurses to have general experience first, which is understandable. Can you tell me: 1) How...

    Guest941822 replied to Guest941822's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I certainly wish I was still with them. They had only 10 positions in the unit, 2 of which were for CNAs. I was incredibly fortunate to get one, although I worked there only 4 months. Unfortunately,...

  19. Age and nursing school

    Guest941822 replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    My mentor got her LVN at 47. I'm 28 and I *never* even considered nursing until a year ago. I'm a CNA now and I enjoy it, but I'm still not sure I want to be an LVN or RN. Life is a journey and...

  20. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    Guest941822 replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    Guest941822 replied to xoxJanexoxDoexox's topic in First Year After Licensure
