1. Needed to vent a bit

   I<3NEPatriots replied to I<3NEPatriots's topic in General Nursing

   Like I said in another post, I have no idea as to how to go about this and would it be really worth it to go through all the trouble. If it wasn't for the change in DON I'm sure none of this would be happening. But they say everything happens for a r...

2. Nursing Shoes

   I<3NEPatriots posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Just out of curiosity, what do you guys use for shoes to work? When I first started working as a CNA I began using Sanitas and transferred to Danskos after getting my nursing position however I noticed after getting the Danskos my back problems becam...

3. Upgraded Wardrobe

   I<3NEPatriots posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I feel so guilty for the amount of money I spent within the past month on uniforms however at the same time I'm glad that I did because I was in dire need of uniforms that actually fit me. When I was in nursing school, I was working the night shift ...

   That is my plan. Trying to hold off until I complete my remaining semesters to then start applying. I sometimes wonder if it's worth contacting the department of labor though.

   To be honest I wouldn't know how to go about contacting my state about that (I went on their website and all I found was a pay equity thing however not sure if that's the right thing). I have approached management and administration with concerns, co...

8. Needed to vent a bit

   I<3NEPatriots replied to I<3NEPatriots's topic in General Nursing

   I wish I could say that were true! The last time I was on-call on my weekend on I ended up having to work a double because we had an agency nurse who was a no call and no show but later I came to find out that I didn't get paid time and a half for wo...

   Hi there Tricia. Thank you for your comment! I tried writing the post in Word first prior to posting and I broke it up but it didn't post that way. Anyway, I was having such issues with the DON that I ended up sitting with her boss and HR in a 1:1 me...

    Although I may not actively post on these discussions boards I still like to go through what people say but I feel now I'm now due for a little venting myself. (For a little background, I have been an RN for over a year now and finishing up my bachel...
