   amiconfused replied to artreid's topic in General Nursing

   As I read the many responses I am wondering where we are for supporting each other (especially in the challenging field of nursing)? Most certainly in any field people work, (outside of nursing) there are great communicators and challenging communi...

2. Telephonic Nursing/Optum Health

   amiconfused replied to bdwrn's topic in Case Management

   I often felt like telesolicitor. Time and contacts were measured, a check list of needed info covered, however not necessarily a care plan. Love patients, I did not feel like a nurse here. Positives: great people who work there- just don't get to...

3. Non Nursing job suggestions needed for former OB RN

   amiconfused replied to GrooveeBabee's topic in Retired

   I am anxious to hear your replies.... I think it may also be limited to what might be available in your area where you live. Maybe former RN's don't read these posts? You will land on your feet and hopefully running in your new career soon!

4. Staff acting like mean girls what do you do

   amiconfused replied to amiconfused's topic in General Nursing

   As all of you, I too have been in that drama of mean girl or should I really call it survivor?? The truth is, you hate coming to work just because you don't quite know what's ahead of you for the day and also it takes away from your work. The time ...

5. Staff acting like mean girls what do you do

   amiconfused replied to amiconfused's topic in General Nursing

   The problem is that I am a supervisor and trying to establish the "nice workplace" guidelines. I have thick skin, and older so already traveled this road in my career. I would like to figure a way to create a kind environment, with respect to each ...

6. Staff acting like mean girls what do you do

   amiconfused posted a topic in General Nursing

   Help- I am new to a clinic where many of the staff are tight and not accepting of new staff. They often act like teenage girls. A new hire even walked out after hearing people talk about her often. How do I resolve this??

7. What are some of the nicer hospitals in twin cities?

   amiconfused replied to ivn75's topic in Minnesota

   Definitely go somewhere with a union- meaning no non contract jobs. I worked for Allina- specifically United for many years, when I left the contract for a non contract job through Allina I had some major problems. HR had no interest what was goin...

8. What are some of the nicer hospitals in twin cities?

   amiconfused replied to ivn75's topic in Minnesota

   If it is the same one that has been new (approximately 3-4 years ago he has become the new president of United), he may have many meetings with the employees- but I don't thiknow if it has produced many varied outcomes. ( I have heard that from other...

9. What are some of the nicer hospitals in twin cities?

   amiconfused replied to ivn75's topic in Minnesota

   I can only speak for United- it was a awesome place to work as a nurse 16 years ago. It has gone rather top heavy now and not as supportive of their nursing staff. It continues to have excellent and talented nurses- but management does not seem to...

    Wow, where in Boston did you work? I have been a RN for 20 years and when I wnet to Boston was surpised by the new RN's, pool nurses and the expected knowledge of the floor. I don't think all hospitals are the same. I also would not recommend nurs...

11. No More Bedside Nursing, I Quit!

    amiconfused replied to cameroondiva's topic in New Nurse

    [ Wow there is hope! =control]ITA. When I switched from the floor to an office setting it was culture shock! The people in my office whine if the A/C is out or if they only get half an hour for lunch. I used to think they were spoiled. Now I just t...

    amiconfused replied to cameroondiva's topic in New Nurse

    where in Boston did you do your nursing? I know when I was there as a patient, it certainly is not nursing like it is here in Minnesota!! It could just be the hospital where you are at. I also know that I would not let any firends or fmaily go int...
