1. Nursing cutbacks

   Babarnurse replied to winter13's topic in General Nursing

   We are noticing cuts/layoffs/no overtime/hiring freezes/wage freezes, etc in the midwest. Our census is way down too, presumably due to people putting off illnesses/surgeries unless it is very, very serious.

2. Handling rumors

   Babarnurse replied to bnrn75's topic in General Nursing

   i would just ignore it. if you try to defend your relationship (or lack thereof), they will think you are guilty or hiding something. the people who matter know that your relationship is appropriate. don't fuel the fire, just move on! best of luc...

   Babarnurse replied to NoMoreStudying's topic in Agency

   my experience has been (in the past month i have been ft agency), that you should have something else as a backup. i have been called off a lot the last four weeks. in fact, it is getting bad enough that i might have to get another job and just do ...

6. Should I take this job?

   Babarnurse replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

   sounds like a great job. what about doing prn somewhere to keep your skills up? since you are a fairly new nurse, that might be a good idea!

    Babarnurse replied to l1zz1e's topic in Disabilities

    I am dealing with the exact same issue. That is the main reason I have submitted my resignation to leave this wonderful facility. Unfortunately, you, as the RN are liable. You are liable for the LPN's and the unlicense personnel. Now, the ULP are...

12. It's long, dangerous, but worth typing, to me!

    Babarnurse replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    It was a venting post, as she said in the beginning. She has since had a vacation and posted back saying she's feeling much better. God save me from the mutual admiration society that arrives after every single allnurses' venting post. We get a lectu...

    Babarnurse replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    I *never* said it was a bad thing to express one's opinion. In fact, this is the perfect place to do it. I simply disagreed and politely got my butt handed to me by nurses who "don't eat their young". I am *still* disgusted by the OP and hope she ne...

    2shihtzus, I believe that addiction is addiction is addiction. It doesn't matter if it is to food, sex, alcohol or drugs. The person is still self medicating, just with different things.

    Since when it is wrong to express an opinion? What is this...I can only play if I agree with what everyone else is saying. That is a bunch of crap. I stand by what I said. yes, I have had those days and yes, I have felt that way to a certain extent. ...
