1. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   I would just be grateful for another department to need me. I love what I do. And I don't want this woman ruining it for me. I don't understand her conduct.

2. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   And I said that I didn't feel it was right to train someone brand new, as I was still learning. And the education liaison agreed. My boss said oh well, we have nobody to train people. The techs had quit and now nurses are starting to look for other j...

3. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   She ended up not going into the recliner. The RN was there the whole time. And I know better than to touch something like that. If my patients have pain or are in any sign of distress at any point during my shift I'm the first one getting a nurse. I ...

   I also wanted to mention that she has made fun of my scrubs for not being ironed to an exact crease numerous times. She even went out of her way to ask if I owned an iron.

5. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   I had a patients family compliment me today and tell me I'm going to be a heck of a nurse and that working with people just seems to flow easily for me... And then I have this awful review. I feel like she doesn't like me for whatever reason and just...

6. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   HR is going to look into everything. I had wanted this meeting anyways because I feel like I'm worth something, and so didn't my education coordinator, and I was just going to ask for a switch to another department. But now that she's taken me off th...

7. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   I needed to vent so I apologize for the book. I'm just rly lost. There has never seemed to be a problem and my boss has seemed to be tough on me from the start. Out of the 3 that she has hired, I'm the only one who does ekgs, and knows post mortem ca...

8. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   She even said she had patient complaints about me. No nurse or MD has ever said anything to me regarding my patient care and I have never had a patient give me a hard time or even give off the thought that I may have done wrong. To give you an exampl...

9. Not treated fairly

   ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

   My main concern is that nobody has ever told me or given me any reason to believe I was lacking as an employee or part of the team. They had me training the 2 new people who started after me... Last week I had a class scheduled and my boss pulled me...

10. Not treated fairly

    ntvan07 posted a topic in Technicians

    I don't know if this is in the right place but was just looking for some General feedback. I'm a tech in an ICU, I started in October. I was taken off orientation in the start of December. There have been no issues with my evaluations, except minor t...

11. Getting a Job as an ER Tech

    ntvan07 replied to DFWRNStudent's topic in Technicians

    I'm a CNA. It took me 6 months to get a job in the ER. It was per diem because the regular hours were given to an internal candidate. And in the meantime it opened the door to an ICU job that I have normal hours at. I can still go back to ER for per ...

12. Never get the job...

    ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

    I actually got a per diem ER spot which then lead to me getting hired in the ICU 2 days later. I'm actually training right now in the ICU lol. Persistence pays off!

13. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    ntvan07 replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I think it's helpful. I want to be an RN, in a hospital... I got a job in a nursing home for 6 months then a better paying one for 6 months, then applied at the hospital and I'm now a PCT. And they are all about helping me with school and I can watch...

14. I lasted 5 days..

    ntvan07 replied to Cynt87's topic in CNA/MA

    I've been an aide for a year... Left the first place after 6 months, it was low paying LTC and i just hung on for experience. Now I make more money in another LTC facility but will be pursuing nursing school. Hospital has given me interviews but it's...

    ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Technicians

    I'm so willing to learn phlebotomy and ekgs for the ER... And the maternity one was a little easier. She made it seem like I had a rly good chance and she seemed to rly like me. I don't understand. I just hope I find something... The LTC place I'm at...
