  1. Hurricane Irma and guilty conscience......help me!!

    guest52816 replied to HospiceRN4God's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Please don't feel guilty over this. Your safety and the safety of your family must come first. You are still on orientation and don't have your own patient load. I think you will be fine. And if not,...

  2. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    guest52816 replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    Look, I understand that you were disappointed, OP. I would be disappointed too if I had been paired with a CNA during my clinical rotation. Frankly, how did your clinical instructors think it was...

  4. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    We had a nasty student in our nursing school class. The last I heard of her, she had FAILED NCLEX twice, while the rest of us passed and moved on the careers as RNs. Sometimes Karma is a B$$$h. And...

  5. Hurricane Irma

    guest52816 replied to cbuis001's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The first poster gave you very good advice. After the danger has passed, I recommend every nurse who lives in a hurricane prone area to read: Five Days At Memorial. This is the hospital where at least...

  8. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    guest52816 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    guest52816 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is a complete outrage. The offending police officer has been removed from the blood collection unit (according to the Washington Post article), but he is not FIRED or even on administrative leave....

  10. HELPP! New nurse to Med Surg but NOT a new nurse

    guest52816 replied to zoomonkey's topic in General Nursing

    First, I am very sorry that this happening to you. It is uncalled for, and unprofessional. Secondly, can you approach the NM regarding your experience with the lousy preceptor? Some people may be very...

    guest52816 replied to Kitkat222's topic in General Nursing

  13. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    guest52816 replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have asked: How long do you intend to work? I started nursing school at the age of 53, and graduated at 55. I had a job before I graduated. I have applied for and gotten two other nursing...

  14. How To Recover From Near Rock Bottom...

    guest52816 replied to Snowana's topic in General Nursing

    Your reply is what I thought when I originally asked this question. And that is because you gave a very analytical response as to why you enjoy working on the unit. It seems to me that you need to...

  15. How To Recover From Near Rock Bottom...

    guest52816 replied to Snowana's topic in General Nursing

    Can you give more details regarding the problem that parents have with you? I am asking this question in order to figure out a way to improve in this area. Do parents feel as though you don't care...

  17. Failure to success!

    guest52816 replied to alieu4's topic in General Students

    I don't quite know where you going with your question. Are you asking what it takes to be successful in nursing school, or nursing in general? In nursing school, you must be ready to be everything...

  18. doea nursing cause health problems?

    guest52816 replied to Jay1900's topic in General Nursing

    I think the night shift link to multiple diseases is probably related to obesity. I work night shift, and it can be difficult to make sure you eat properly. It takes real effort. I see lots of fellow...

  20. Charlie Gard

    guest52816 replied to Lavender111's topic in Nursing News

    Alas, Charlie has died. Why didn't his parents listen to the experts? Because they were his parents, and acted accordingly. While I don't condone much of their online fundraising behavior, I can't...

  21. Charlie Gard

    guest52816 replied to Lavender111's topic in Nursing News

    I read today that the court decided to have Charlie moved to hospice, where he will die. His parents had wanted to take him home to die. It is a gut-wrenching story and situation for all involved. I...

    guest52816 replied to GSDlvrRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It is natural to feel the way you do following a break-up. Perfectly natural. Having said that, perhaps you need a little time to sort out your feelings. Again, do you have vacation time to take? If...

  24. Depressed

    guest52816 replied to GSDlvrRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am a little confused by your post. Are you feeling badly due to the break-up, or because of PTSD? Do you have vacation time? If so, sign-up to take vacation time ASAP. Do you have short-term...

    guest52816 replied to YANA67's topic in Health, Stress Management

    First of all, I am sending you a big hug! Secondly, even if you had never experienced a panic attack or depression, being a new nurse is liable to send you into a panic attack and depression. Believe...
