1. Written up for this???

   Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the excellent advice here. I thought about documenting the comments/behaviors. I will from now on. To be truthful, the "management" isn't the problem. It's only one particular one. But she has the power to terminate us. What's the use ...

2. Written up for this???

   Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

   No. Just myself. They said it was "my voice" they heard. But all we were talking about is the way we've been picked apart lately. Especially when we've been picking up TONS of hours to help out. This manager also put me down in front of a physician a...

3. Written up for this???

   Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So, I was in the med room at work, talking with two other co-workers (also nurses) about the struggles we're having lately. The door was cracked. Our voices were low. We were simply venting. Apparently they stated they heard my voice...they...being ...

5. My God, these family members!!

   Emma123 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Relations

   I feel your pain, and here is what I did about it: I had a patient arguing with a family member at the nurse's station. I tried to put it out of my head, but I had a new admit and was confirming orders. I picked my head up, looked at them and said, ...

   I am so sorry to hear about this situation in your community. I'm an LPN wishing to become a SANE but don't know if I need to be an RN to qualify. I'd like to see one here in my community in Michigan. Here's to wishing you well in your very important...

7. How do Unions save your nursing job?

   Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in Union

   Thank you for the extremely useful information. I could probably find another job....but in all honesty, the facilities are run pretty much the same that are in my area. This is the worst (management wise) that I've come across though. ALL of the ...

8. How do Unions save your nursing job?

   Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in Union

   I can't even begin to thank you for the information you shared. I will definitely look into it and see who may be interested in this. When you say it comes down to a vote, I am assuming that a for profit organization such as mine, that administration...

9. How do Unions save your nursing job?

   Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in Union

   Thank you for your post. We think the same thing about the administrator. We just lost 5 people, including the ONLY full time physical therapist who was very good. So now my "rehab" unit is with fill in therapists, not those that know the facility a...

    Thank you for your response. So....how do I get a union involved in my company? (Or is that not an option....please excuse me if that is an "uber" dumb question).:sofahider

11. Need Honest Opinion -- Would You Recommend Nursing?

    Emma123 replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    You will only know what has been described above once you are a nurse. There is no way anyone could explain it; it is very personal to nurses. I would not want my own daughter to be a nurse; I've adamantly told her to not even consider this professi...

13. How do Unions save your nursing job?

    Emma123 posted a topic in Union

    I wanted to post this question under the thread which contained the objection form (taking an assignment and filling out a form, aka Safe Harbor), but did not want to hijack their thread. I want to know more about unions. Where I work, it is an "at ...
