2. Florence Nightingale's Birthday: World's Most Famous Nurse

   jayebug replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Rock

   I have ADD (inattentive type), and I lost my job for being, well, inattentive (don't worry nobody died, actually in my 11 yr career, no one has ever experienced any harm under my care which even some "normal" nurses can't claim) I wasn't taking my me...

5. Just got fired-AGAIN!

   jayebug replied to jayebug's topic in Disabilities

   Hey, Viva, How did you come back from being fired? All the jobs I've applied for have asked me for info on my last place of employment. I'm so afraid they're gonna call my boss whose last words to me were "I have to put the safety of the patients fi...

   Ugh, this site won't let me PM, but I am interested. My son has ADD as well

7. Just got fired-AGAIN!

   jayebug replied to jayebug's topic in Disabilities

   Thanks for your reply, I guess I just get a lot of feedback from my friends and family that 1.ADD doesn't really exist, like my best friend, who has a tendency to be a little judgemental at times, really because she's so overwhelmed, who told me that...

8. Just got fired-AGAIN!

   jayebug posted a topic in Disabilities

   Hi all, Just got fired from job #4 of an 11 yr nursing career! I'm startin to think maybe I'm tryin' to fit a square peg into a round hole w/this nursing thing. I'm on meds, but I haven't been taking them cuz they're just too expensive! (I have to pa...

9. Is the anti-bully trend going to far?

   jayebug replied to Emergent's topic in Relations

   Yeah, ok, making bullying a sentinel event could be viewed as going a bit overboard, but honestly, I haven't seen much of an improvement lately. So, maybe they need to be ridiculous to get their point across. I'm a traveler, so I'm like a bully magne...

    jayebug posted a topic in General Nursing

    I guess, since it's nurses week, I've been reflecting on my career choice, and regardless of whether or not anyone wants to be subjected to any of my revelations, I thought it was necessary to share them. Lately, I've been thinking about what it mea...

11. Unemployed experienced nurses

    jayebug replied to fairyheart16's topic in Career Support

    I'm a RN in the Phila area with 11 yrs of telemetry /stepdown experience at UPENN. I tried homecare for a while, because, as a single parent, I thought it would help me have a normal schedule. But I ended up working 60 hrs/week, and I was only being...

    jayebug replied to lecuruk's topic in Travel

    Hi, I just finished an assignment there. At first I thought everyone was really nice. I have to say that they aren't outwardly hostile towards travel nurses. They seem to accept you as regular staff. Towards the end of my assignment, however, I reall...

13. Workplace Bullying-Nursing or 7th Grade?

    jayebug replied to rbs105's topic in Relations

    I realized, rather recently, that I have been bullied for most of my life. The only place I didn't feel bullied was when I worked in California. That was what kinda clued me in. I was bullied all through high school, but not so much in college becaus...

    jayebug posted a topic in Disabilities

    Hey all, I have temporal lobe ADD (no hyperactivity) secondary to a polymorphism of dopamine beta hydroxylase defienciency. In other words, I have behavioral symptoms and autonomic nervous system defecits that effect my blood pressure, blood sugar, l...

15. Ashamed of Disability

    jayebug replied to BeOne77's topic in Disabilities

    Maybe psychiatric nursing isn't such a bad idea. I know you don't want to be reminded of your illness, but there's another side to that-one that maybe you're not considering. With all the stigma against people with mental illness, wouldn't it be grea...
