1. Does anyone ever feel guilty about calling off?

   LPNewbie posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   First, I'm not one to call off. The last time I called off was July of last year. I truly feel guilty calling off. I had to take a mental health day. Of course I lied and said I was physically sick. I felt so bad going through the process. This ...

   This isn't a bad idea. As silly as it sounds, I've never considered advocating for myself. I really like this idea. Thank you!

   Warning: This is a rant So I had a lot (LOTS) of growing pains as a new nurse. I made mistakes and I haven't been the best employee 100% of the time. But with self-reflection and self help, it's an odd feeling when conversations with managers are no ...

8. Quitting my job before my shift starts

   LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

   I feel like the post I made doesn't really reflect me as a person. You're right. I get it. My past sucks. The only person who knows about these med errors and my uncertainty is myself and all of you here. My current employers don't have a clue. They ...

9. Quitting my job before my shift starts

   LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

   Im sorry you view my posts as "attention seeking". Unfortunately this forum is the only place I can turn to at times. I'm the only one of my friends that is a nurse and no one really understands what goes on. Maybe I'm just a whiny 20 something I don...

    This. There are a group of people who tend to overcritize and purposely put others down. Including myself. And as someone who had worked so hard to change and take my career more seriously, their remarks are just so hurtful.

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    No i get what you're saying. I love nursing. I was saying to a few others here, I'm not the nurse I was before. Before... to be frank, I didn't take it seriously. Which is awful. I put my blame on others. I didn't accept responsibility. I then had a ...

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where you are coming from. I've spoken to a lot of veteran nurses and they said if someone said they never made a med error, they're lying. I've always been very honest with myself and my life. I made a lot of errors. A lot of them were ...

    I had a moment of stupidity and wasn't thinking properly. I went to work and everyone wasn't as bad as I pictured in my head. I wish I weren't so dramatic at times. My twenties are just kicking my butt big time

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I read all of your comments and of course Wuzzie life coach I never had and told me to put my big girl panties on and face the situation like an adult. So I did. And I had a really good day. I have bad outburst sometimes and tend to make haste decisi...

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely correct. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. I have a lot of insecurities as nurse because of my past. My employers praise me up and down but I keep thinking of my performances in the past (as documented here) and just am so insecure ...
