   Update: Turns out CTU received CCNE accreditation while I was in school. So my options opened up in regards to where I can attend school. I'm excited and happy so I wanted to share this joy!

2. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

   sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

   Update: I'm doing much better at work now- Work load is the same but I'm finding ways to effectively manage it. I found creative ways to include the nurses that I supervise in the projects that I have to do. I'm also doing a lot of team building wi...

3. Nursing Capstone at WGU

   sain replied to sain's topic in Western Governors

   Really. So maybe I can start working on my project now. I'm suppose to start in September too. I just started as Director of Nursing (In October 2014) at my current Job, and I'm always doing Quality Improvement project for the company and the nurses ...

4. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

   sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

   Yes. I work in a residential type of environment- I have an office and all, but i'm hardly ever in it. The turn over for management is crazy, and it leads to a lot of frustration for the nurses, because of lack of continuity. My husband and I were ...

7. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

   sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

   I think its so funny that you said that, because my coworkers and I was just talking about work life balance and its importance, and how we lack any separation from work and life because of the 24/7 on call status.

8. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

   sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, thank you for sharing your experience with me. Your right the pay is horrible for the amount of work that I do. It is a risky job, in regards to having the unlicensed staff give medication under the nurses license. I do have a BSN, but I didn'...

11. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, 1. Yes, I am passive to some extent, but I hardly think that 7 months of DON experience will get me another DON job position so quick ( So that's why i'm hanging on). 2. Verbal slap--- Not really needed, because I already have acknowledge wha...

12. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    Your right, If I should walk out today, they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. There would be no one to even train someone for my position. The problem I have with reporting my supervisor is that the company is a "tight knit" group. I'm the ...

13. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    Your absolutely right. Thats exactly what i'm doing right now, but its also time consuming having to train and build morale of these nurses. Most don't care or wish to do more, because they feel unappreciated. I have made a lot of progress since I s...

14. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    sain replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is I am new to being a DON. I need at least 2 years experience in that role to build a strong resume. I worked very hard to get the position, that is why I can not just give it up.
