That's ridiculous. You earned the time off. People are so willing to bend over backwards for employers who would have their job posting on indeed.com within 5 minutes of them dying on the hospital floor.
You sound toxic. Also, I'm glad your life is where it can allow you to get completely rested on every single one of your days off. Good for you. You're blessed, really. Some people don't have that luxury and just because they are a nurse or a phys...
I'm honestly not sure why you'd want to continue working as a staff RN once you are a NP. They are completely different jobs/roles and functions. Do you want to be a nurse, or a nurse practitioner? If you want to "keep" your basic RN skills, it se...
Jeez. Maybe someone needs to reach out to the public or the parents. I wouldn't spend personal money on my job, but I do hope you take advantage of the tax write offs, at least.
It's probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but your workplace should supply the tools that you need to do your job. Even if it requires the principal and other 6 figure workers taking a little pay cut at the end of the year. I wouldn't spend a...

I would say to look elsewhere (preferably brick & mortar) for your graduate education. Also, I think it's best guidance from this site to not include personally identifying information in your posts.

I often see nurses complaining that new nurses "just want to be a NP or CRNA and not a nurse". We don't have this same complaint about biology majors who want to become a PA. Biologists aren't decrying undergrad biology degree holders for getting t...
You should never accept less than your worth, point blank. Always make sure upfront they will pay you what you are worth, and if they will not, correct them. Nurses need to stand up for themselves at every instance like this.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping on an actual break where someone is covering your patients, if you need the sleep that bad. Your employer will deduct the pay from you anyway, and I don't work for free. While you're on break, that is yo...
I see why this is frustrating, but as an RN (6 years) and ACNP student, the NP education is definitely more in depth and beneficial than the RN education. Also, RNs are nobody's "assistant". Please get that thought out of your head. Are you just t...
If the patient is still mentally with it, I don't care the diagnosis - they are not talking to me like that. I will not allow it and will leave the situation if they won't shut up with that crap. My coworkers know that about me very well. I would...
