nurse_nina Florence, SC age: 57	Hi Selena - Aren't you surprised that more of us are not coming out of the closet I mean medroom. Seriously, I wish we have our own group.

mamacindy Oklahoma City, OK age: 53	Hello, all you nurses! This is a good idea, I love it! I have been an RN for apx. 16 years in a town of about 50,000, pretty rural area in Oklahoma. I am in home health, and love it! I think you have a great idea, and we can be a support to one another, plus, you KNOW nurses have a sick sense of humor, that sometimes other don't appreciate! Lets keep it up, maybe others will find us!

You are right about needing somewhere to unload or be able to use that "sick sence of humor" without offending someone would be great. Petition for a site. I love my job and I work with a great team.

sherrylee Bennington, VT age: 46	Hello everyone! I am a LICSW. working for a mental health organization. I work with clients from age 13-70. Hard and extremely draining, however, gratifyin; as all our professions in the medical field are. Am I right in saying that on Mondays (or when your beginning of the week is), we are ready to tackle what comes at us. By Friday we are so brain dead, we are lucky to find our way home. Then there are those late hours we did not plan on, or the emergency that always occurs at the end of the shift. I do not believe that those who are not in this field understand the emotional roller coaster we go through on an hour to hour basis. I would not change a thing. I totally enjoy my job and my clients.

oshgirl2 Oshkosh, WI age: 63	Hi all the Healthcare providers. I am an RN for 40yrs. Have worked in many settings. Presently work Triage in an Internal Medicine Physician Office. A forum would be fun, not everyone can understand our "stories" and frustrations and satisfaction

kelinparsons Parsons, KS age: 48	Glad to see this post. I am not a nurse, but have worked in healthcare for 28 years as a Respiratory Therapist. This would be a nice place to discuss career, burnout and reinventing oneself while staying in the field of medicine. My main focus or love was in the area of premature infants, working as a transport therapist in a neonatal intensive care unit before moving back to my hometown area to become a department manager for a 100+ bed hospital in the Midwest. Other career interests were caring for post-op open heart patients, neuro intensive care, surgical intensive care and trauma/ER services department. Did a lot of work with Emergency Preparedness Planning and continue to sit on several committes as a community member. Also have a great interest in Sleep Disorders Medicine and treatment of those disorders. I recently gave up my position in middle management at a small local healthcare facility to assist with the care of my aging parents. Quite a change of pace from the 50 + hour weekly grind, challenages and changes in patient care standards as the heatlh profession becomes more business oriented vs. patient care oriented, and giving of ones self beyond healthy limits as we all do that work in health care. P.S. After working in Emergency Preparedness Planning over the last 5 years, I think fire fighters should be welcome in the forum. Most are EMT's and first responders and all of us who have worked the ER circuit know these guys are on the front line for most everything that roles through the door.

batguy Kansas City, MO age: 55	HELLO, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK GOD FOR NURSES! MY MOTHER WENT IN THE HOSPITAL IN APRIL '08 FOR HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT AFTERWARDS SHE WAS SENT TO A REHAB FACILLITY WHILE THERE SHE LOST QUITE A BIT OF BLOOD FROM WHAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE A HEMROID WELL IT TURNED OUT TO BE CANCER! SHE'S 76 AND THE DOCTORS FELT SHE WAS NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CHEMO SO THEY DECIDED TO OPERATE, AFTER 2 SURGERYS WITHIN 2 WEEKS MY BROTHER AND I FINALLY BROUGHT MOM HOME. WE ARE NOW TAKING CARE OF HER HAND AND FOOT THE BEST WE CAN(WITH THE HELP OF VISITING REHAB NURSES)AND MY WIFE WHO IS AN RN. THE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE IS I DON'T THINK I OR MY MOM AND BROTHER COULD HAVE POSSIBLY MADE IT WITHOUT THE CARE,COMFORT,SUPPORT AND ATTENTION FROM THE LOVING NURSES WE ENCOUNTERED THROUGHOUT THIS HORRIBLE ORDEAL! IT WAS SOOO TRAMATIC THAT I MYSELF HAD A MILD STROKE BEHIND IT! MY MOM WAS EVERYTHING TO ME GROWING UP AND THERE WAS NO WAY I WILL EVER ABANDOND HER NOW WHEN SHE NEEDS ME THE MOST! I'VE LEARNED FIRST HAND WHAT CARE AND KINDNESS CAN DO FOR THE BODY AND SOUL,FROM CARING AND KIND NURSES! I FEEL ALL NURSES SHOULD RECEIVE FREE HEALTH CARE I THINK ITS A SHAME NURSES HAVE TO PAY FOR MEDS,HEALTHCARE AND SUCH WITH OR WITHOUT INSURANCE. AFTER MY STROKE I STARTED WORKING PT FOR A TRAVEL NURSE AGENCY RECRUITING NURSES FOR TRAVEL ASSIGNMENTS THROUGHOUT THE U.S. ITS BEEN REALLY NICE HELPING THEM GET A CHANGE OF SCENERY AND VISIT AND WORK IN PLACES THEY'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO. I FOUND OUT THAT ITS NOT JUST THE DOCTORS BUT IN REALITY ITS THE NURSES THAT ARE TRUELY THE HEART AND HEALING FORCE OF HOSPITALS!IN CLOSING I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY ENLARGED HEART TO ALL NURSES WHO GET A CHANCE TO READ THIS,YOU ARE A VERY SPECIAL.........MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

gentlebear1949 Wooster, OH age: 61	I have been taking care of my parents (88 & 81) both of whom have Alzheimer's for 3 years now. I'm not a real nurse just a son that would'nt let his parents be shipped off to a nursing home. Even though I'm not a real nurse but does cleaning up poop,changing diapers and giving out meds qualify me to join this group?? I also want to add that without the Hospice nurses I don't know if I could handle it. [Edited 8/10/2008 8:51:18 PM ]
