    nursemichelle80 replied to MMurse's topic in Correctional

    Prison nursing...well...it is what it is. Overall the job is pretty good. I am a charge nurse in a psychiatric dorm in a men's prison. I am also a young female. That in itself makes the job...

    How does travel nursing work?

    nursemichelle80 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't have to take the NCLEX at all...you should be able to get your license by "endorsement". I am currently working to get my California license endorsed to FL. The process is fairly easy...

    Compassion.... why is it so hard to give some?

    nursemichelle80 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is true. I always "dreamed" of the type of nurse I would be. Then I got stuck on a psych ward for 8 months as a traveler. I quickly learned about compassion. I am now back on a ms/ortho/onc...

    nursemichelle80 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is very sad to see nurses with no compassion. They either aren't happy with the career they have chosen, they're bored, or they're in it for the money. I got into nursing for the patients. I get...
