1. Help me get into the Nurse recruiters head??

   TheGuestNurse replied to Encast's topic in Job Hunt

   Oh I see. That makes much more sense. :)

2. Cry for help: I don't think I can do this.

   TheGuestNurse replied to -MissTake-'s topic in General Students

   It does get better. Nursing school is enough to make anyone hate nursing but when you are on the floor, or in the office, or in the field things sort of fall into place. No nursing job is perfect but with time you become more competent and confident ...

3. Getting put off my job by nasty nurses!

   TheGuestNurse replied to marsy82's topic in CNA/MA

   What you are describing is terrible, and I hate that you are going through it, but unfortunately this is an all too common situation that many nurses experience. Lateral violence, or "nurses eat their young" often occurs to new nurses by nurses who a...

4. Help me get into the Nurse recruiters head??

   TheGuestNurse replied to Encast's topic in Job Hunt

   I am curious as to why you are using a recruiter? Have you tried applying to hospitals directly? Recruiters often make their money off the nurses that get hired. They usually received a payment for every referral they send that gets hired and stays a...

5. Nurses Week/Hospital Week

   TheGuestNurse replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

   It really hurts my heart to read this. Your employer should do a better job of showing you that you are valuable.

6. Nurses Week/Hospital Week

   TheGuestNurse replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

   I've experienced this in the past. I'm very fortunate now to have a hospital that makes sure to recognize their nurses and not just mesh it all in with hospital week.

8. Limited EHR program experience

   TheGuestNurse replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Informatics

   Are you very computer literate outside of the hospital EMR you currently use?

9. The "bully" nurse

   TheGuestNurse replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Relations

   Terrible to hear of the fate of the young girl. Wonderful to hear that you've moved onto much greener pastures. It's been nearly a year since I've left the hospital that caused me so much grief, and I couldn't have made a better decision.

10. What do CI nurses do?

    TheGuestNurse replied to morganmRN's topic in Informatics

    Really the job responsibilities of an informatics nurse vary from organization to organization. I can tell you what I do as an informatics nurse. I am the system administrator for a home health EMR. I troubleshoot bugs and problems in the software an...

11. Why is it always "Fire the nurse"

    TheGuestNurse replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Relations

    nurses are seen as a liability and a drain on the hospital ecosystem. Doctors are seen as the money makers.

12. NO, NO, NO!!

    TheGuestNurse replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    Sad to see you leave. Nursing can be a wonderful and beautiful experience. But sadly in can also be devastatingly stressful and at times unbearable. I wish you luck in whatever career choice you may. I hope you'll keep your license current. You never...

13. The "bully" nurse

    TheGuestNurse replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Relations

    mention the words "hostile work environment" to your boss. They'll fix it or know they have the potential to be sued. Document. Document. Document. Every occurrence of the bullying and mobbing that is taking place needs to written down and logged. Yo...

14. Maestro?

    TheGuestNurse replied to nurseinmo's topic in Home Health

    Would love to talk to another site about their experience with Maestro. I work as a nurse informacist with this software and would appreciate any oppertunity to bounce ideas and ask questions from those using it at other sites.

15. how to quit my current job

    TheGuestNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in Career Support

    As SRNA2011 stated, they are likely to be accepting and encouraging. Be honest and make sure you have your resignation in writing. They will respect your for being upfront. Sooner the better! You don't want to waste any of their time. Good luck with ...
