  1. Holiday Bonus

    I believe my company gives out "points." After you've saved up enough points, you can use them to purchase something from a catalog. Of course you need an ungodly amount of points to do so LOL
  2. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    It was 200 applicants for 50 slots at my GA university. Pretty sure competition is stiff everywhere.
  3. My Body Is Not My Resume: Exploring Nursing Dress Codes

    Now that I'm getting up in years, I'm finding myself more interested in artistic self-expression. I'd hate to be in my 70's before I'm finally allowed to dye my hair pink! I finally got a facial piercing and am considering getting a tattoo. My emp...
  4. Where can I get male only patients?

    You might consider a state mental hospital or psychiatric unit as a mental health tech. While there will be both men and women there, you will not be doing things like assisting with bathing, dressing, toileting, etc. (with possibly a rare exception...
  5. I'm in hell

    ^^^What Kooky said! Find another job and skedaddle outta there pronto- THEN report what a horrible experience you had there to the higher ups and why. The toxic working conditions there will eventually lead to a patient getting hurt and you do not ...

    "My bf says you don't have to love what you are doing and at times you'll be unhappy but don't be a quitter. He makes me feel like crap that I am throwing away an opportunity with 2 years left." If my husband had had his way, I never would have went ...
  9. Do nurses use "Linked In"?

  10. Home Health burn out, advice welcome.

    Run! I couldn't get out of that situation fast enough! How on Earth did you do that for 2 years?
  11. Thinking of psych travel nursing. Need advice!

    FYI there are a ton of travel nurse groups on Facebook. Try Psychiatric Travel Nurse, Travel Nursing: The Premium Job Board, and the Travel Nurse Network- the Gypsy Nurse to start you off. Lots of info available! There's also search bars so you c...
  12. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

    Nashville Jeanne, so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the crushing pain. Your memorial for your son is beautiful.
  13. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

    If you need a break, TAKE one. Caring for manipulative patients IS draining. There's no shame in leaving and coming back when you are recharged or, hell, not coming back at all. Take a breather! There's plenty of other nursing specialties that ar...
  14. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    My first job out of nursing school, I encountered a similar situation. I just didn't fit in with the culture of the unit. In fact, while they were undeniably good nurses, their personalities were awful. They suggested I leave willingly, which I ha...
  15. introverted nurses -what is the best job?

    Okay, old thread, I know but I have to put in my 2 cents. As a born introvert with borderline social anxiety disorder (diagnosed), I would have to recommend something like home hospice or home health nursing, preferably with a small company. You ha...
