1. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   Thank you for all the kind words and concerns. I appreciate it. Things did get worse and it got to the point that I hated going to work. He drove past my house a couple of times and used to say things like he wanted to play mind games on my husband. ...

2. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   I work next weekend, so I will have more to say then. I am already feeling anxious about what to say and how to handle talking to my supervisor. I found out that my nursing supervisors are not the boss of my nurse manager. They are on the same hierar...

3. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   I'm not sure if it is illegal but I would get fired for this. Cell phones are not allowed out at work. To record anyone at the hospital, regardless of the reason, would be grounds for immediate dismissal.

4. Staff turnover

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing

   What are some of the problems that your unit has which is causing the high turnover? What are you doing or plan to do to help facilitate change? The nurses on my Med/Surg unit try to help each other out all the time. People ask each other, "Is there...

5. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   I am a little concerned about people being able to identify me based on my comments. I think the odds of that happening are slim though. I doubt he is a member, but there's no way to know for sure. Thank you for your concern. And to everyone that ha...

6. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   I am looking at switching departments, but that doesn't change anything because he oversees the entire hospital. I floated to a different department last Sunday and he saw me just as much as when I worked at my normal location. I will keep you all u...

7. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   I have read every post and thank you for taking your time to comment on this. I will start telling him no and that it makes me uncomfortable. I am a very passive person and I avoid conflict, so this is not easy for me. I'm sure many of you think "wha...

8. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   No, I haven't told him. He travels out of the country all the time and I only see him for a couple of days every 6-8 weeks. This is why I didn't have to work weekends for a long time, because I am the only one that takes care of my kids. I am require...

9. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

   Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   I'm truly sorry this happened to you. So far I have only felt concern once- when he came up to me at my car as I was getting ready to go home after work. He only talked to me briefly- asked what my plans were for the night & rest of the week. A...

10. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

    Maybe your right, but I really don't want it to look like I'm overreacting if I report it. I also think I might lose my job if I tell someone in HR. He's been working at this hospital for years. I have told my charge nurse and other coworker nurses k...

11. Taking time off...

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to CAL3's topic in General Nursing

    I know a nurse that was hired after taking 15 years off. She only received 6 weeks of orientation and she struggled her first year but she's doing great now. Be sure you keep up with all your CEs for your license and don't let it expire. It might be ...

12. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

    I want to make it clear that I LOVE my job. I'm concerned that saying anything will jeopardize my job in some way. Other people have witnessed this, but I never kept a journal. I really didn't think it would last this long. I have no desire to get a ...

13. Is money everything in this profession?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the minority here. Nursing is a second career. It was my chance to fulfill a dream that I always wanted. I never once did this for the money. Thankfully I am married and my husband makes a very decent salary. In fact, he wishes that I didn't w...

14. Is money everything in this profession?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't take an oath. I also did not go to my graduation ceremony or the candle lighting ceremony. None of those things are required.

15. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN posted a topic in Relations

    I started working weekends in March (I still work weekdays) and the weekend nursing supervisor has been extremely flirtatious towards me. He makes sexually suggestive comments towards me, holds my hand, brushes up against me, rubs my arm, draws smile...
