That makes a lot more sense than the alternative.

Ok, now that I have read it, I can still say I do not agree with it. And whether or not your occupation is a calling or not does not impact the decision on whether or not you are well enough to...

If you let your mom get into your head, you are going to defeat yourself before you start. There are a lot of different kinds of nursing. Just because she does not think you would be good at whatever...

When did they go extinct? Not soon enough! Haha. I am just kidding they are kind of cute, I cannot imagine having to wear one though.

I spoke up yesterday and I am not sure it was helpful I am hoping I did not make it worse. I spoke with the preceptor, she admitted she is just tired of explaining every little thing she does over...

I have never seen this preceptor like this before. This is not her normal. I am not sure if she has something going on in her personal life or what her deal is. But she has never done this before....

Such as going to work sick? That is not a sacrifice it is a bad decision. The patients deserve a nurse who is fully alert and able to perform her duties. You are not doing anyone any favors by coming...

15 minutes is a bit absurd. Depending on the patients condition it might take longer than that to get the patient ready for transport. Some patients require a nurse to escort them and it takes time...

My employer does not consider LPN experience which is ridiculously unfair! You would be started at the same rate as a new grad RN. They only count RN experience when calculating your pay rate. Where...

What is a CMA? I think reading from a medical dictionary was an odd thing to do. If a patient had a question about a medication the pharmacist or doctor would be a good resource. If someone is...

I could use your advice. We have a new grad on our floor and she is about a month into orientation. She is not going to make it if it keeps going this way. She has given up hope. She has been...

Will you be doing anything nursing wise on your mission? Will it help your resume? Otherwise I think you should reconsider your timing. Get a year of experience first and then go on a mission....

Yikes. Seems like you might be in a good position to start applying at the other big dialysis company. Your current company is walking all over you, BUT now you have a great résumé with great...

Former dialysis nurse here. I worked outpatient chronic but worked with many staff that did both acute inpatient and chronic. From my experience Davita or Fresenius does not define the culture, the...

Tin foil works best. My neighbors thought I was cooking meth, but I explained I work nights and they were all like OHHHHHHH! OK! I imagine with the tin foil, and the way I look half asleep in...

That actually made me laugh out loud. At first when reading your post I was thinking it was going in teh direction of "clockwise" or "counter clockwise" but after reading the context, I got nothing!...

There are a lot worse things you could do. Its a shame to waste the scholarship, but one of the hardest things in life is being honest with yourself. You weren't ready, but you learned a few things....

I hope you told them no. Until you receive an offer and have all of those details IN WRITING you would be foolish to accept an orientation spot. Otherwise they can pay you whatever they want and you...

Ok, then I would counter offer. At this point, you have zero intention of taking a position at the rate they offered so you have nothing to lose. I'd counter offer ABOVE what you are willing to...

I would start looking to get a job someplace else. This situation is not going to change, so all you can do is change your reaction to it. It doesn't sound like anyone is there to stand up for you or...

WHat state are you in? I would *only* take one of these jobs if it is your first leadership role and you need it for experience otherwise I'd keep looking. Every job you get after this will be...

Well looks like things are going to change. The patient from last weeks incident is on a vent. The pacu nurse has been suspended for leaving the patient without anyone there to receive them and there...

We are continually having issues of patients being dropped to the floor during shift change, when they are not able to get the proper attention in the change over. We have had more than a few bad...

If she is expecting everyone else to pick up her slack,without helping anyone else, then yes. It is not the narc restriction that causes he to be seen that way, it is her lack of being forthright and...

I've worked in the South and in New England and there is no comparison. New England was a much better experience all around.
