   Crossed the line with a flirty family member. How to deal with ethical issues?

   Scuba_NurseBSN replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Relations

   Thank you. I kept beating myself up thinking I lost their respect as a role model. A lot of our aides are in nursing school, and as I nurse I always try to role model for them. This was definitely not something I role model does. But you are tota...

   Crossed the line with a flirty family member. How to deal with ethical issues?

   Scuba_NurseBSN replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Relations

   Definitely agree. I keep thinking of how i should have set a boundary right away. I have learned a lot from this and will remember to keep work and home separate at all times and to keep things professional.

   Last time I worked I had a patient's husband try to set me up with his son. He kept asking if I was single and I finally said I had a boyfriend and we've been together 6 years. Later he kept asking me if I was sure I wasn't single. I finally said ...

   New Nurse difficult patients and exhaustion

   Scuba_NurseBSN replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all! I am hoping it does get better with time. I get a little faster and better with things as the days go by. But all the stress of being a new nurse does make me miss school, and that is something I NEVER thought I would say.

   HELP ME PLEASE! 2 job offers, less than 24 hours to decide

   Scuba_NurseBSN replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Career Support

   I totally messed up this post. What I meant to say is the smaller hospital offered me a job immediately after my interview. It took Froedtert 3 weeks to e-mail me that I was a "finalist" for the position I interviewed for. I literally got the e-ma...

   I do not know what population I am really passionate about. I have an interest in critical care, emergency, pediatrics and NICU. I feel the general med-surg unit I will be working on will expose me to a variety of patient populations that will help...

    It is five 8 hour shifts one week and four 8 hour shifts the next week. The shift is 3-11:30 pm so it won't screw up my sleep too much. Magnet is great and that is what I want, but the unit at the bigger hospital had some red flags. The manager to...

    Hi there! I haven't made my official acceptance yet. But I am going to choose the smaller hospital. I keep playing phone tag with the HR lady. I was supposed to call her yesterday but I had testing all day. I sent her an e-mail explaining and sh...

    Many years ago, I got married to a guy in the Military. He started drinking heavily and abused me. I knew I had to get out for my own safety. We eventually got divorced. In the meantime I owed money to school and could not re-enroll until the mon...

    No interview confirmation e-mail

    Scuba_NurseBSN replied to mathematical's topic in Job Hunt

    I would check you junk mailbox. A few of my confirmations have been sent to junk mail and then try calling/e-mailing her. Being persistent shows your interest :) Good luck.
