  1. Wow! This article hits home. I have been a Nurse for 22 years, I am 43, and feel constantly harassed, maybe this is why, because I am too "expensive".
  2. Why Do People Bully Me?

    mfill4545, don't give up on your dream of being a nurse, we need you! You worked to hard to get through the nursing program to let someone's behavior ruin it for you. I hope the counseling helps, because we need more good nurses in the world. Best of...
  3. Why Do People Bully Me?

    Great article! Unfortunately, I feel that this issue still is not appropriately addressed in most facilities. I'm a seasoned nurse of 20 years and experience this from another seasoned nurse, it's intolerable and she has inserted herself in with mana...
  4. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    I am a "seasoned" nurse who has been nursing now for 20 years, and I've only had 2 jobs in my nursing career, and I am here to tell you there ARE alot of mean nurses( in the coworker sense) out there, but also some great ones. I currently work with a...
  5. LPN/RN ...Is it all the same? Please Advise!

    I'm an RN and have worked in LTC my entire nursing career (nearly 20 years), and in my experience, in LTC there is virtually no difference between LPNs & RNs in the LTC setting. I hope that you find a facility you like better. Nursing is nursing....
  6. Over 60, seasoned nurse, fired for not being a "Robot RN."

    Wow...that's terrible! It sounds to me like you were basically being harassed the last 6 months you were there. If you want to pursue it, you most likely have a case. This is the second similar post I've seen on here like this in the last week! So s...
  7. MD screaming at RN's in front of patients regularly

    I am so sorry that you have to tolerate this...you shouldn't. I would definitely leave a paper trail. It stuns me that a physician who is working with mentally ill people would act this way...sounds like the physician has some issues themselves. I al...
  8. What to do in family emergency situations?

    I am sorry for your loss. As woo said above, trying to coordinate staffing can take some time and I don't believe 45 minutes is that long, but I know if you're in a family emergency, it feels like an eternity. When we work with human lives, we can't ...
  9. Internal transfers- your thoughts?

    If the transfer is what you really want, then I say go for it, but I would also make your concerns known to HR...what your manager is doing is workplace intimidation and she should be fired immediately! Good luck!
  10. I would chart something like "Pt. states he did not receive a.m. meds., administration of a.m. meds. was verified...", then go on to describe the other behavior. I don't put another staff members name in the chart unless they've helped me with a pro...
  11. I love you boss ... BUT!!...

    Mandate means, in this context, being required to stay over because you have nobody to relieve you.
  12. I love you boss ... BUT!!...

    The reality is this: Nursing is not always an 8 hour job. There will be times if someone doesn't show up, inclement weather when staff can't get in, emergencies, etc. that you will be mandated. That being said, do what you can otherwise. If it's you...
  13. Rejected after 8 years of working for the company

    This makes me sad. I think that your med. errors in the last 2 months, which I assume are out of character for you, were somehow psychologically stress induced, not to excuse it, but that is what I believe. It's sad that it got to that point. I fear ...
