Wow. This is one of the most ignorant comments I had come across in this discussion. Leave it to nurses to shoot themselves in the foot by resenting those with higher education. Just like in the "old good days", guess I should had been be happy just ...

Wow...The "ombudsman" really?? To the OP: Sorry about your bad experience. The situation obviously still bothers you, as others had wisely adviced, get in contact with the hospital ER manager or the custumer service liason person (now in days, every...
Congratulations personally, I joined a professiona organization (try AACN if interested in critical care) and made acquance with several managers and educators around my area. My 1st interview was a bliss since I already knew the manager. I think yo...

"The partner hospitals are in Texas. So, you cannot live in Georgia and do the nursing program at UTA." Actually, the above is incorrect. I live in OC, CA and my facility (a teaching hospital) does have a partneship with UTA, for ADN-BSN and BSN-...

It would be helpful if you provide us with specific and factual situations that you are perceiving as lateral violence. My two cents...you had been a nurse for more than two years, it seems; seek another job. End of problem.

I have to agree with the above poster. It is ok to be a supporting bunch...but the OP came to this site looking for honest feedback. I work as an NP, in a neurology group and I have to be honest...someone's application with her background would not e...

I will be the devil's advocate here... To the OP, would you rather her to go directly to your manager with these "issues", rather than address them with you, first? Because, honestly that is probably what will happen if you confront her and she takes...
In the future, please read the OP original post, before commenting. There was no reference of that patient being"unstable". She simply did not turrned or "touched" the patient because she became busy with her other patient.
I do agree that nobody should be treated that way, under no circunstances. However, as an ICU nurse, I can't get past the fact that you did not turn/touch an ICU patient under your care for 12 hrs!! I am curious, how did you completed your documetati...
