   I absolutely agree with you. Remove the audience before you confront.

   It will become harassment if the abused doesn't make it known their behavior is NOT WELCOME.

3. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

   NurseExorcist replied to cookie123d's topic in Relations

   Behavior that creates an environment not conducive to work falls into the harassment category. It should immediately be made clear to the person demonstrating the behavior that it is unwelcome.

4. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

   NurseExorcist replied to cookie123d's topic in Relations

   I totally disagree. Speaking up for yourself immediately shows strength. Ignoring it shows passivity and tolerance of bad behavior.

5. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

   NurseExorcist replied to cookie123d's topic in Relations

   The problem with not saying anything at the start is that you train the abuser to continue. It's why "nurses eat their young" is passed on generation after generation. It's wrong. In this case the abused could have said, "your remark about the way I ...

   Can anyone on this thread update me? How has your experience been with Eastern Kentucky University and this PMHNP program?

8. Family Mental Health NP MSN

   NurseExorcist replied to kfitzy89's topic in NP Students

   I have the exact same question. There are so many online programs, it is difficult to narrow it down. I wonder if this thread should be under the mental health specialty rather than online learning.

9. CA Nursing student thinking of relocating to NM after grad?

   NurseExorcist replied to Avill's topic in New Mexico

   I would strongly recommend taking the NCLEX AS SOON AS YOU CAN, wherever you are. The sooner you take it, the more likely you'll pass. If you don't pass, you won't be going anywhere to be a nurse. Plus, if you are applying to more than one state, ...

10. new grad rn- can't find a job

    NurseExorcist replied to caitnconr's topic in Job Hunt

    Same here! I graduated from my ADN program at 49, I am finishing up my BSN program next month at age 50, and still explaining to people, on a daily basis, why I can't find a job during this "nursing shortage." It's very depressing. That said, this...

11. Psychiatric nursing... do you really lose all your nursing skills?

    NurseExorcist replied to lilmoongoddess's topic in Psychiatric

    Just to play devil's advocate... you might just fall in love with psych nursing and lose your interest in emergency care. Regardless, go for it, and as others have said, you can always look for a per diem med/surg job. Also, there is an emergency ...

    NurseExorcist replied to ama3t's topic in Tennessee

    I'm applying, also. It looks like a great program... as in opportunity of a lifetime. I have a 3.7 and have been volunteering at a clinic all year. I worked as a CNA for about 3 years. Does all that help? Oh, and I'm interested in the mental he...

13. New Grad RN California: Where should I relocate for work?

    NurseExorcist replied to CPTjOYjOY's topic in Job Hunt

    I did get a job back in February for a SNF with a rehab wing. I split after two weeks, with sparks on my heels. I refuse to work in another SNF or "rehab hospital." A 30:1 ratio of patients is unsafe; I don't care what anyone says. I am not going...

14. Looking broadly while only licensed in one state

    NurseExorcist replied to foreverLaur's topic in Job Hunt

    There are whole threads about this, but the bottom line is the obvious answer. Already holding the license for the state in which you are applying is best. It shows them that you are serious about relocating there and it expedites your ability to s...

    I just love hearing about new grads getting jobs because they know the right person.
