  2. At my wit's end with this nursing assistant...

    Get out now. This is craziness. The NM has shown where her loyalty is- with the CNA. Go to to another floor or hospital ASAP. I totally and completely agree wth caliotter3 who said that once an RN it is not wise to remain the same place that you...
  3. Learning to assert self with NCP's/PCT's

    This is most likely a leadership problem of the unit more than anything else. People (yes, us included.) will do what we are allowed to get away with. Either the boss doesn't know this goes on and they need to be informed for it to change OR the bo...

  5. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    There are also really good ADD/ADHD threads started on the 'Nurses with Disabilities' Forum. I discovered my ADD in my late 30's when I failed a nursing class. It makes so much sense why all through school growing up things were harder for me. I ...

    I am not in VA but close to it and for me, voc rehab will pay for some books, diagnosis of my disability (which I had already paid for out of pocket but I'm trying to get reimbursed. It was $1,000!!) and I think there may be other things as well suc...

  10. (((seekinganonymity))) I have experienced verbal and emotional abuse in a dating relationship when I was in my early 30's so I can empathize with you a little. First, he isn't going to change. I know that he may have Bipolar and may become consist...
  11. To Swab or Not to Swab......

    I was taught to swab. I even saw some of the dirt come off on the swab myself. I was surprised and grossed out and I know that some don't swab depending on who their clinical instructor was and what their philosophy is.
  12. Just a reminder to watch what you say!

    I think it is more of a HUGE violation of our First Amendment Rights (Free Speech.) We should be able to say A LOT of things on our Facebook/Twitter that are legally protected. I believe that most of these employers are overstepping their legal bound...
