   LPNandLUVINIT? replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

   So sorry you had to deal with all that. I can understand, my ADON pushed me so far the other day walking out almost sounded good. I may be moving to another state so I'm trying to maintain my sanity, and this job, until I know for sure. I know I w...

   I had a similar experience, I've been a nurse for 5 months now, I had two days of orientation then was pulled to a different wing and let loose. I don't know how this can be safe. I have a friend that works for GM who says when they pull staff ther...

7. Does this seem right?

   LPNandLUVINIT? replied to LPNandLUVINIT?'s topic in Geriatric

   I figured things were not going to be easy when I started, but I feel like I was thrown to the wolves. Family and friends worried that because I had went to a small community college I didn't get a good enough education to perform well. They all sa...
