Would Like Help Choosing a New Area of Nursing

Hello Nurses,
I am currently in a dilemma, trying to choose a new area of nursing. I have med-surg nursing experience and rehab. I recently became a case manager and do not like administrative work, I miss patient care. I am torn between trying home care (visiting nurse), hospice, or maybe psych nursing. I have also thought about working for an agency where I may get exposure to various types of nursing and then decide. I’m sure there are others who have been in this position. I would love to hear the pros and cons of all options.
Thanks!

Seeing Eye Dog

Two buddies were out for a Sunday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other had a Chihuahua. As they sauntered down the street, the guy with the Doberman said to his friend, “Let’s go over to that restaurant and get something to drink.”

The guy with the Chihuahua said, “We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us.”

The one with the Doberman said, “Just follow my lead.”

They walked over to the restaurant and the guy with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the restaurant. The waiter at the door said, “Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed.”

The man with the Doberman said, “You don’t understand, this is my Seeing-Eye dog.”

The waiter said, “A Doberman pinscher?”

The man said, “Yes, they’re using them now. They’re very good.”

The waiter said, “Okay then, come on in.”

The buddy with the Chihuahua figured he’d try it too, so he put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the restaurant. Once again the waiter said, “Sorry pal, no pets allowed.”

The man with the Chihuahua said, “You don’t understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog.”

The waiter said, “A Chihuahua?”

The man with the Chihuahua said, “A Chihuahua?!! A Chihuahua?!! They gave me a Chihuahua??”

Nursing Student Needs Help—Please!

Hello everyone, I am a nursing student and new to this forum…..I am a mother of 4 and finally got things rolling again for nursing school!!!

I am beginning my 2nd semester in the nursing program and our clinical experience will be in the Med/Surg area in the hospital…….my question to all is: What should I be aware of when being in this area?? Our educators leave us in the dark until we are almost doing it then slam, they hit us with all this stuff!! ……I really just wanted a ‘heads up’ as to what to expect in this field of clinicals?

Thank you all for any replys…..I look forward to hearing from anyone!

Good Hygiene

My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he’d dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So, I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush.

He held it up with a charming little smile, “We better throw this one out too, ’cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.”

I really wanted to try and capture the shoreline as the surf broke on it. I was quite happy when I received the pictures back and saw how it came out on film. The contrast of the water to the sand and the way the picture splits from opposite corners is really neat. I call it Nature’s Yin and Yang.

Paramedic –> RN

I have been a Paramedic for 28 years and I am making the leap to RN. I need advice. I think I have most of the clinical, I have also been an ACLS, PALS, and CPR instructor for decades. What should I concentrate on?

Serious Hearing

An elderly man had serious hearing problems for many years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed him to hear 100%.

The elderly man went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor diagnosed, “Your hearing is perfect! Your family must be very pleased.”

To which the elderly man said, “Oh, I haven’t told them yet. I just sit and listen to their conversations. I’ve already changed my will three times!”

Tired of the Same Old Thing - Want to Try Traveling!

Hi All,

I am tired of my routine and my job. I really feel like I need to do something different and experience life a little more. My New Year’s resolution is to try traveling. I would like to do it for at least a year and then go from there. I live in Tampa and would like to travel to somewhere on the West coast, maybe San Diego? Any suggestions of places to go or where I should start in getting into this process would be greatly appreciated!

The Broken Lawnmower

During the summer when the power mower was broken and wouldn’t run, I kept hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sunk in.

Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point. When my husband arrived home that day, he found me seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently for a while, then went into the house.

He was gone only a few moments and when he came out again he handed me a toothbrush. “When you finish cutting the grass,” he said, “you might as well sweep the sidewalks.”
