  1. Quitting Nursing permanently

    Don't even put it on "inactive" status;" b/c you may want to use it in the future--and you can if your reactivate; but there is a record that you had it on inactive. That alone doesn't mean something terrible, but it hurts you in having a competitiv...
  2. My new nurse manager is driving me crazy

    Or they quit b/c of a toxic work culture...
  3. resigning during orientation

    If you sense that the culture is not for you, it is totally OK. Go with that feeling. It happens. It's fine.
  4. Unless we are talking about a small community ICU, I have to agree with the above comments.
  5. ER nursing or med surg?!

    I am glad I did Medsurg/tele before critical care. Mostly, I say, find a place that has excellence in nurse education and support. Find a thriving, healthy environment in which to grow and learn. Sadly, this can indeed be a challenge. Also, depend...
  6. Just know that they are very nice to you while you shadow,but it's a different world when you come in there to persue [sic] the CRNA career. They eat you alive! The above comment was in reference to CRNA shadowing; but I find it applicable in nursing...
  7. Should I quit if the job doesn't fit??

    Yes, like at least a good three years or more of FT+ residency, among other graduate education/licensure requirements and supervision--and they can push those weekly hours up to 80/wk, and some specialties opt to do more, b/c they want to be sure the...
  8. could get fired!

    Holy crap!
  9. could get fired!

    True, but will that ACTUALLY happen? There is a lot of looking the other way when you are in the right "crowd," and I have seen a fair share of NM's complicit with this sort of thing. Very few strong ones that function out of principle and don't ri...
  10. could get fired!

    Is this a serious post? Most people sign online and/or on paper saying that they will not use someone else's PW/UN, etc. It's all in the info given at the beginning. The reply is absolutely "No." After that you document it the request somewhere, ...
  11. new RN on orientation

    Houtx, I know this thread is old, and I don't know if you still come here, but this is one of the most awesome, all-time truths. This is precisely what happens to many on orientation. It's reflects poorly on the institution/unit, but MANY so MANY g...
  12. Compact State

    People in general chew on others too much. It is nothing short of tragic that healthcare is like this. I have taught too, and the scathing or harsh approach is generally nonproductive. I submit that the politics and money that go along with it ar...
  13. Devastated on First Write Up

    PS. Sadly you will usually find some people that don't really work and focus enough on their patients and job that fly under the radar. You can see them in any field. It's just extra annoying in healthcare; b/c people are, well people, and not widg...
  14. Devastated on First Write Up

    Listen, I am not trying to make excuses for you or to have you step away from whatever your part/responsibility/accountability is in this thing. Nonetheless, we have to be realistic and include vital information, which is quite relevant if Risk Mgt...
