1. Is Nursing as Stressful as Nursing School?

   NurseLeeny replied to imjustme123's topic in General Nursing

   I am a Canadian Nurse, but used to think the same thing. Looking back it is my opinion that it was all a psychological test to see what we're made of and how badly we really want to be nurses. I recall seeing a lot of students who didn't take the ed...

2. When will being an RN stop sucking?

   NurseLeeny replied to lawandaluxnurse's topic in General Nursing

   To some degree, our credit and appreciation should be advocated by our nurse managers and supervisors, failure to do so, in my opinion leads to situations where we feel unappreciated. We also have a team meeting two times a week with our Nursing Mgt,...

4. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

   NurseLeeny replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Relations

   I would also like to say, I am a registered nurse who worked hard to assist the unregistered staff who worked in the long term care facility that I worked in for two years. I did help every day, and I relied on those unregistered staff to be my eyes...

5. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

   NurseLeeny replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Relations

   It sounds to me that your management support is lacking. I would think if this is an ongoing issue than if it has been addressed with the CNA's on an individual basis with no effect, then as a registered nurse who is accountable and registered, I wo...

7. "No nurses of color....."

   NurseLeeny replied to Queen2u's topic in Relations

   Wow, that's a tough one! Where I live, in Ontario Canada, (and work) we are multi-cultural and live and work fairly well in that environment. However, we don't support racism, which is how I would interpret the request that this patient made. I wo...

8. Stop the drama

   NurseLeeny replied to GitanoRN's topic in Relations

   Don't get involved in it...pay little attention, don't share opinions, have your life outside of the hospital...it's too draining... I work in an environment where there's a lot of drama and don't hang with anyone I work with...so I remain sane! If s...

9. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

   NurseLeeny replied to R!XTER's topic in Relations

   My first question to you, is how long has this other nurse been practicing? I am guessing, she is one of the more seasoned nurses, and you may be newer??? Just a guess. I have experienced the same throughout my practice several times. Have you eve...

    NurseLeeny replied to beeble's topic in Relations

    Does your employer have a 'workplace discrimination and harassment policy'? If not, maybe they should get one? or have some employees start one up?? As these issues do come up in many work places that I have worked in. Bullies are everywhere, and I...
