  2. my job may still be hiring...but I'm in Houston
  3. Thinking about quitting (yes, one of these)

    Actually I wasn't "steering" her anywhere. She was looking for viewpoints not judgements. I was looking for neither. Life decisions aren't always so cut and dry so that one just "quit"s at the drop of a hat before considering other options.
  4. Thinking about quitting (yes, one of these)

    I want to encourage you. I have to be honest. I developed anxiety when I became a nurse. A major panic attack was my introduction to residual generalized anxiety after a shift on the floor. Nursing is stressful. Ive learned how to overcome anxiety wi...

  8. Family members recording nurses doing pt teaching

    Thank you. This specific situation was not discharge teaching, and the recording was being done by an uncle on his phone. The patient had some issues one normally wouldnt want disclosed to anyone else. Of course I didnt discuss that in front of them....
  9. Family members recording nurses doing pt teaching

    Actually if you read back, I never refused anyone anything. I said I personally dont want to be recorded, and its not for discharge teaching, nor am I interested in "making it more likely" that they won't remember discharge teaching. My question was ...

    So to have a tooth pulled my dentist put me on an antibiotic. I ended up in the ER where they told me they suspected I have C diff and sent me home on PO flagyl and cipro. I was fortunately off for a few days. I have to go to work tonight. I'm scared...

  15. I had generalized anxiety for a few days after that. My doctor gave me a script for clonazepam low dose prn. The general anxiety is under control, but the days I have to go to work...just preparing and getting dressed gets me anxious. Side note: sin...
  16. A worn out topic

    Ok, I know the question has been posted over and over. I've not seen any real definitive information. I recently witnessed a doctor who decided to saunter into the hospital to see a patient, and as he walked towards the patient's room he passed the ...

    The hospital I am at now has some awesome hospitalists. They're professional, thorough, they care about the patient. They're respectful. I go out of my way to make things easier for them. I haven't had too much of a run-in with an unprofessional phys...
  20. Soooo I came home from work and had my 1st panic attack....

    I know this is late. like reeally late. But this is what helped me. Thank you for helping me find Ms. Weekes. Although she has passed, her audio cd's have cured me!!! Well as much as can be. I can't believe I'm just now thanking you for putting me in...
  21. Can experienced Med/surg RN move into peds?

    I recently left the med surg floor to work in the well baby nursery. I LOVE it. No more ungrateful, rude, confused, combative, MRSA, VRE carrying, "you-owe-me", "I-own-you" adults....(No offense) It is busy, but I should have moved to this age grou...

  24. I'm an INFJ through and through. And if you're not into personality typing; I'm an introvert; to further break it down: I Need My Me time! Even more so through so much chaos during a shift. Any other introverts out there? What creative things. Do ...
