   I am hoping the union is strong and will stand up to this kind of nonsence. I am thinking, since there is nothing to loose, be honest with the next potential employer, state the situation as it was when you encountered this specific situation, what p...

   Maybe this is how they divide and conquer, to create discord between staff. Something for nurses to think about and be aware of. It is good you are expressing how you feel. I will stand by your side. Remember, how they treated you does not define ...

   Ok, one more... "They created the stress for me, took my leaves, then they fired me! Welcome to nursing life! " Sheesh, sad how this was handled. You were thrown under the bus, I guess their money is more important than your 18 years of experience....

   I smell politics. Considering the circumstances, (usually looking after 35 to 40 older residents in eldercare), two falls happening at the same time, many times quite a distance to cover before getting to a second patient fall at same time. I thin...

6. Nurse dies after assault at job. She finished her shift first.

   systerm replied to missmollie's topic in Headlines

   I would say it is a lack of respect, from both patients and managements. Perhaps this society does not want nurses? If so, I wish you luck and my sincerest condolences. All in all, as a society, you need to ask yourself, what kind of a world do yo...

7. Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

   systerm replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have the time to look at anything at my work that does not directly involve me. I know that things happen to people, regardless of being famous or not, so who cares? The media blows them up to bigger than life, but they are just people. Fir...

   systerm replied to jennjen512's topic in Professionalism

   Life like nursing is dynamic, things change all the time. It is good that you recognize that you are ready for a change. Sometimes changes needs to be facilitated, and as I am and have always been very conscious about money, I know it can play a big...

    systerm replied to mahal788's topic in General Nursing

    Everybody makes mistakes, some admit, some not. Nobody is perfect. The doctor that openly criticized you has made mistakes too, in spite of his lengty training. He is no more than a human, just like you. He surely could improve his nurse side mann...

11. Time saving tips for nurses when off work

    systerm replied to systerm's topic in General Nursing

    I like to save time, not necessarily to do more, but to have more time to relax or take care of myself. I have found when it comes to shopping, one can save a lot of time if shopping in the morning or on days when many dont do their shopping (avoid t...

    systerm posted a topic in General Nursing

    Who is not busy? Are you juggling things that have to be done, maybe wasting time on tasks that could be done faster or more efficiently? I am talking mostly about things that you need to accomplish in your private time. What are your tips? What woul...

13. Oh! The sacrifices we make just to get through nursing school

    systerm replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Well, it is always easier to go down hill versus up hill. If it was easy, somebody said, nobody would be working at McDonalds. (not to say that is less "work", it too has to be done) Indeed I have made sacrifices and in a way am still making some s...

    "You can take that to the bank. " Maybe, what is the interest? "Perhaps you could have been more clear in your delivery." I am sorry, I was not clear in my delivery. Anything else?
