4. Nursing Is A Business: Get Used To It!

   Art_Vandelay replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't believe "Get used to it" is a mentality workers should have. This is the mentality that whoever is making these unstaff staffing ratio decisions wants you to have. Give up and suck it up is the mentality of defeat. But for anything to hap...

   When exactly did this happen? I'm not being facetious...I geniunely want to know when things were better.

6. Is this ok to do when applying for jobs?

   Art_Vandelay replied to Cynnie24's topic in Job Hunt

   Props to you for liking SNF/LTC. Personally, I haven't work in one that had decent staffing and I always felt like a med pusher and the environments were awful. You can go directly to the facilities and ask for an application. After you fill it ou...

13. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    Art_Vandelay replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree that the OP has "misconceptions" about teaching hospitals. IMHO, the OP has a valid complaint. If I may, he/she was made to feel like an object and not a person. It's interesting to find that posters that have been in simil...

    Art_Vandelay replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you. I agree, the behavior is rude. I chose a teaching hospital for my first baby, because it is considered "the best". That being said, after a first year resident couldn't place an internal monitor or identify the baby...
