  1. New male student in clinicals, all women, feeling isolated

    Workitinurfava replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    Don't worry, that will change. Just try to talk to them more. In due time, once you are working around female nurses on your permanent unit they will be begging you to help them pull up big Bertha who...

  2. Am I a bad nurse?

    Workitinurfava replied to LittleRN5678's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Don't be scared to ask for help, know who to ask and don't be so hard on yourself when you make small mistakes. My preceptor forgot to pass her 9 am medications while she was training me but she...

  6. Can you be forced to be charge nurse?

    Workitinurfava replied to yourfuturern22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Either do it or risk loosing your jobs. Those are your options. Are they unfair yes but it is the reality of nursing. Honestly I think I am eventually going to have to do it myself. It is what it

  7. Experienced Nurse Still Has Frequent Self Doubt, advice?

    Workitinurfava replied to BettyBoopsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear you were abused. I was abused for years by my step mother. Lots of other chaos happened in my life. It would take too long to explain and this post is about you. Based on that I...

  8. Devastated about my recent preceptorship placement in med surg

    Workitinurfava replied to SF BSN2b's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Maybe it wasn't your first choice but at-least you have a med-surgical position that can lead you to where you want to go. I started out in a nursing home with 20-25

  10. Feeling discouraged

    Workitinurfava replied to Zerocks's topic in General Students

    You can learn to be strong but that is up to you. The lady helped you out by giving you some truths about the nursing field. Now decide if you are up to it. We can't really do that for

  12. Math pre req is preventing me from getting into the nursing program!

    Workitinurfava replied to angel1312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you always struggled with math? Consider the time your are using to repeat courses. Have a back-up plan available just in case you have to change route. I would try a tutor and if that still...

  13. ER nurse to ER doctor

    Workitinurfava replied to al3x117's topic in Emergency

    You can switch to MD after becoming an RN but your RN classes won't transfer over. The good thing about becoming and RN first is that you will be working with the MD. You can then see if being an MD...

    Workitinurfava replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in Nursing Career

  15. Would This Be An Acceptable Weakness In An Interview?

    Workitinurfava replied to nurse3121's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I never admit to any weaknesses. That question is a double-edged sword question that could lead one into not selling them-self as a qualified applicant. For every job that I have ever gotten I have...

  16. have an interview in Inova Loudoun hospital on pp unit please help

    Workitinurfava replied to sukh :)'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I remember that test. I took it years ago and passed but wasn't hired because I didn't have a BSN. Keep your energy for this interview, eat breakfast because you could be interviewed by a lot of the...

  18. Considering quitting during orientation?

    Workitinurfava replied to sunnyflow's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You could get the experience and move on or look for something else. Most jobs aren't what they seem or are suppose to be. Eventually you will have to stay somewhere or you will become unemployable....

  19. You Don't Really Need Chemistry For Nursing, Do You?

    Workitinurfava replied to smalli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel the chemistry part applies to nursing in the way of understanding the reactions of

  20. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Workitinurfava replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school part should come second to whether you can handle working as a nurse. You can go to school at any age. Age doesn't matter to a certain degree. Ask yourself if you can handle all that comes...

  21. Stop the preceptor madness!

    Workitinurfava replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I find it odd and unfair to nurses that want to be NPs. The other thing is that it is important to have someone train you with a certain amount of experience and who knows what they are doing. I feel...

  22. Burnout in transition to FNP

    Workitinurfava replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know specifically about this SNF? Just make sure that you won't have a ton of patients which leads to more charting and more everything. I work on a ICU step down unit and I would not ever...

    Workitinurfava replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunately I feel you sorta made your bed and now you have to lay in it. Never ever speak on every single feeling you are experiencing when you are training as a new nurse. As you work and gain...

  24. Emotionally unbalanced supervisor?? Please help!

    Workitinurfava replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not everyone will like you but you must do your very best. You may find that if you go from place to place you will deal with the same thing if you don't figure out what the real issues are. I can't...
