  5. Already Planned my vacation

    Sooo... About a year ago I planned a vacation with my family to go back to my mother's home country that she hasn't been back to in 20 years. We are supposed to go at the end of March. Now the day after Christmas, I was dismissed from my job. So now ...
  6. That Dreaded 3-11 Shift

    I worked 3-11 for a year and hated it. Like REALLY hated it. I have no kids and live at home with my mom and sister. I worked Monday-Friday. The best part was I didn't have to work weekends. I couldn't stand always waking up alone and coming home and...
  7. Patients that made you go "How are you even alive?!"

    My dad drove himself when his BP was 220/120. He said he was having a bad headache and he kept slurring his words so he thought he would be a good idea to go to the ER. The nurses couldn't believe he drive himself and was ok.When I was still a nursin...

    Hi everyone! So after spending all summer filling out applications, I finally got a call back! I was soooo excited! I went to the interview and it was great! The nursing recruiter told me about the salary, when the next orientation started and kn...
  13. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

    I used to be a nursing assistant on a fairly busy unit. Now I'm an RN. If I have a problem with a CNA, I talk to them directly first because I know if it was me, that is what I would have wanted. If the behavior does not change, THEN go to your manag...
  14. 1- If you don't love every one of your patients and feel the utmost compassion for all of them, it doesn't make you a bad nurse. It makes you a real person. As long as you treat them all with respect and take care of them the best way you know how, y...
