Sounds like it would have been better to DC the pt first before bringing in Hospice. In patient Hospice for 2 days? Makes no sense to admit someone for a few days, pain can be handled in any nursing environment. I work in an LTACH environment and ...

Impeached? For not having lobbyist around? For not signing bills with earmarks? For not taking a salary? That professor is an idiot! The man has not been sworn in yet and he's already being impeached. I'm optimistic that things will get better.

Geez! Relax, everything's is going to be fine. Don't read into all the media hype, listen to them you would think the world was going to end.

That's pathetic! Move to SC and live a comfortable life. Ours has gone up, but not that bad. It still sucks. I have been a nurse 26 years. I can remember a County job I had in the 90's my Insurance was free!

Obama and the left wing politicians have made a huge mess. What family can afford a $1400/month premium in this economy? My families insurance has gone up, way up, and the coverage is less. The ACA was hastily tossed together and rammed through Co...

Yes, you will gain valuable experience. CNA work is hard and under-appreciated. You will understand what a CNA does all day, also what is expected from them. They are the backbone of any unit. Always be nice to them and help. You will have to ea...

That should be a red flag!

Obama has ruined it! He has made a huge mess, look at the VA for your Gov. run health care. People cannot afford to pay for these rising premiums. Our's has gone up at least 45% for less coverage. The ACA is a redistribution of wealth policy. Our...

Well, thanks to Harry Reid changing the rules of the Senate I think they will do what is needed. The law is pathetic and crushing the nation.

Wow! Stay away from nursing. Sounds like it's just not for you. You can't feel that way and continue on. Do something else. Find a program that will work for you. I was an LPN for a while before becoming an RN. I worked in Florida too, lots of...

Great, stick with it. Next thing you know the years will start passing buy. My daughter is getting ready to start college in January for Nursing, I told her it's tough and takes a lot out of you at first. Hang in there.

Hey, who is telling you "You are a failure?" Are you letting your mind play tricks on you? I have been working in nursing for 30 years. You need to get back in the pool, don't give up. You have to push yourself to drive on. Being an RN is not ea...

Wow, what a story. Sounds like you got tossed to the wolves. I have seen this many times. RN's come out of school with knowledge and basic skills of nursing. You really don't learn anything until you are on the floor with a solid teacher. Tele is...

I have had many days like this. Been working with patients for 31years in many ways and many units. The way hospitals run is changing for sure. The noticeable drop in staff per shift is the main thing. Management expects exemplary care to be del...

I have been a nurse for 25 years now. I still do not like to cath females, honestly I'm just not good at it. I don't mind cathing males if asked by my co-workers. In my current position I have not had to be in that position for some time. When ev...
