1. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

   Sunny68 replied to Jenni811's topic in Relations

   All I can say is ditto. I have been a nurse for 13 years and I have worked in a step down unit and med surge. Will admit that I liked the step down unit way better, alas the hospital I am at now no such unit is found and the ICU is so cliche tha...

2. Depression, why!

   Sunny68 replied to Sunny68's topic in Recovery

   Thank you all for your comments. I am working on something to get out of that position. I tried once before to transfer to a different floor that I have floated to and to which the nurses there and I are friends now and they like the way I work. ...

3. So confused , LTC nurses needed!

   Sunny68 replied to healthstar's topic in General Nursing

   Have you tried working nights? Nights have fewer admits and discharges, new orders unlike days with all the doctors, surgeons, specialists that come through during the daylight hours. Not saying that the beginning of the shifts can not be hectic sh...

4. Co-complainers. Is anything good enough?

   Sunny68 replied to Ntheboat2's topic in Relations

   I hear you. Where I work I can count maybe 3 of the CNA's that I work with on days that hold their own and are available to the nurses on the floor who need help with clients lifting, etc.. Then there are those on days mind you, that do just as l...

5. Depression, why!

   Sunny68 replied to Sunny68's topic in Recovery

   That is true that I can get frustrated when they keep wanting me to repeat, which just makes my speech worse. Considering the obstacles that I have overcame in my life I should not let that beat me up. The depression does not help. I know one can ...

   I have been a nurse for several years and yes I have had to deal with depression for several of those years and it was bad when I lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack. Now I have come to a cross road in my life to where I am thinking abou...

7. Wrote up a CNA, but I was the one who got the boot!

   Sunny68 replied to MotherRN's topic in Relations

   I have to work with CNA's like that even in the hospital sitting. It is strange how they get by with ignoring lights, sitting on the phone talking thru out the shift, eating at the desk, and having the balls to deny requests to help when asked. Y...

9. What annoys you the most about your nursing coworkers?

   Sunny68 replied to kobebryant's topic in Relations

   Ditto, but that can lead you to be in the manager's office for not being a team player, though you are helping taking care of their patients due to them being in the break room on their phone... bla bla bla... yep been there, done that.

10. What annoys you the most about your nursing coworkers?

    Sunny68 replied to kobebryant's topic in Relations

    Yes, some co workers that I have had to deal with can make any day go sour in a hurry, fighting over the assignments, staying on their cell phones due to family drama, voicing out their family drama staying hidden during most of the shift. Yes, we ...

11. Let me just ask this ..."Why"

    Sunny68 replied to gloryfied's topic in Relations

    Yes, I just quit the position that I held for 2 years due to management allowing patients and family members to be rude and the "Customer is always right!" policy. It is a sad day when family members can dictate the care of the patient, they shou...

    Sunny68 replied to Nurseadam's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that can be reported to the BON if the employer chooses to go that route, they might of told her during the HR meeting or not. I have known nurses to be fired for much less though in the state that I work for and did okay for finding other wo...

13. Do you stand up for yourself to patients?

    Sunny68 replied to evolvingrn's topic in Relations

    Sadly, I have decided to leave the profession that I once enjoyed doing. With the customer is always right, having to deal with rude family, patients and sometimes even fellow staff members I have decided that I have had enough. The one incident ...
