3. How was Nurses Week celebrated at your Facility

   foxc1121 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

   I guess no one is ever happy with what they receive...especially nurses that really are the core of patient care. We deserve so much, ask for so little and in return...get sooo little. Got an ice cream bar, beach chair, lunch box, and a tea service...

   foxc1121 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   Hello all, I too have been told that I should feel very "honored" to have a job in today's economy (by management). Having said that, it took a nurses aide to make me think....(her words, not mine)....Is the hospital going to go out of business? No...

    Thank you for your replies. I am having an argument with my husband about this. He doesn't seem to understand, there is more to this situation than what I have mentioned. I worry for my license, something that I have worked so hard for (as we all ...

    Okay - so here is the deal. My friend and I graduated from nursing school together. She convinced me to work with her in a small hospital, even though I wanted to work at a trauma center. We have been there for almost one year and we are both unha...
