1. Does anyone like working 7p-7a?

   Luv2banurse2004 replied to RN123456789's topic in General Nursing

   I just returned to 12 hr NOCs after a 3 month hiatus (d/t relocation). I LOVE it. I work three and even though I am not much of a day sleeper (I usually get 4 hours) I have my schedule arranged so as not to be totally exhausted. I don't have any tro...

2. Phasing out LPN's.

   Luv2banurse2004 replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Safety

   I just left an ALF a couple days ago after only two months. I felt like every day I was squeezing my license tighter. Mgmt. was hiring people as med techs and their training was done through other "experienced" med techs . The med errors were horrif...

4. What To Do About the Counteroffer?

   Luv2banurse2004 replied to Luv2banurse2004's topic in General Nursing

   Once I finally get across that I'm outta there I just have this strange feeling that they will get mad and sort of make my final days there feel like a stand-off. They are very two-faced and I can only imagine the cold shoulder I'll be getting soon.

5. What To Do About the Counteroffer?

   Luv2banurse2004 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So...I put in my resign. notice for the worst job I've EVER had (talked about it plenty on this site) and now the counteroffer: A promo w/raise (mind you they offered this same promo w/o pay increase just last week), any schedule I want, and much mo...

6. 8 hour vs 12 hour shifts

   Luv2banurse2004 replied to lstimpson's topic in General Nursing

   I much rather prefer 12 hour shifts. I just accepted a job doing 3 12 hrs --two of which are in a row. The upside is that I will be off nearly the entire week. Since I do so much volunteer work and I'm planning to return to school this schedule wor...

10. Have Got to Get Out of this Place!!!

    Luv2banurse2004 replied to Luv2banurse2004's topic in General Nursing

    Well someone came forward to upper mgmt. They have basically told me that they won't go into details with me and that an investigation has been opened. All of these developments have just come about. This is a nursing home and now I'm being asked ...

11. Have Got to Get Out of this Place!!!

    Luv2banurse2004 posted a topic in General Nursing

    How would you like to work in a place that used Med Techs and then allows them to be unsupervised for a shift and a half --as assistant supervisor you warn your supervisor that this is dangerous and offer to come in on these shifts as needed only to ...

12. Question about residency requirement

    Luv2banurse2004 posted a topic in Arizona

    Hoping someone can help...I am SERIOUSLY considering a move to AZ within the next year or so. Problem is I'm in a dilemma as to whether to stay where I am (I HATE this place!!!) and finish my RN program (I'm currently LPN looking to bridge) or move ...

13. I need to vent...again

    Luv2banurse2004 posted a topic in General Students

    Sorry guys, sort of long. As I've posted before, our class pinning ceremony is tomorrow. ALL semester, the "clique" has taken charge of the ceremony, basically done things their way. I suggested a few things and the "leader" lied and said the progr...

14. Refuse to take sides...glad I only have a few more days!

    Luv2banurse2004 replied to Luv2banurse2004's topic in General Students

    Good advice guys! Thanks for the insight. With just three more days of NCLEX review and exit testing, I've decided to just continue to be the same as I have always been from day one. I try to treat everyone decently at the least. Pretty soon, all th...

    Luv2banurse2004 posted a topic in General Students

    Well, FINALLY completed the curriculum (e.g. graded) portion of my program and am now doing the NCLEX review. I have made it all this time w/o being involved in the cliques, drama, etc. To make a long story short: There are two people in the class...
