Sounds like a bad soap opera. I don't see how he/she gets away with disposing of narcotics alone, usually a pharmacist has to go through a specific process to do this, and in the presence of a nurse.

Well, that's just too bad. Just because people need to vent doesn't mean it's justified. It's kind of like kicking a dog because you're frustrated with something else. Or coming home and abusing...

This attitude works both ways. People who have no understanding act like losing weight should be like flipping off a light switch. It isn't that cut and dry. That's the problem.

What I find most disturbing (and heartbreaking) about this thread is the vile attitude and utter contempt a lot of nurses seem to have for fat people. Not only that, some of the comments confirm that...

In the long run, no, but a BSN may help you get your foot in the door over a new ASN.

I've been offered a position on the med-surg unit (nights). The pay stinks (really bad) and I'm totally not a night person at all but I need the experience and am excited about doing a good job. I've...

Well, well, well... www.wsbtv.com/news/21677645/detail.html

I called and actually got an interview this evening. It was the DON/NM and director of the rehab unit. They want me to come back tomorrow for a "peer interview." They did tell me to not expect I'd be...

We recently had an inservice and this was one of the topics. Not very smart.

Two people shouldn't even be lifting a person that big. Your facility needs a lift.

It's hard to leave something when it never started in the first place, isn't it?

I've got it so easy at this job (most of the time) that I feel guilty taking a check. I'm like the nurse on stand-by, I've been a life saver to them more than once when there has been a call-in or a...

With no acute care experience I feel the time has come to expand my horizons. I applied to a hospital in my neighborhood and got a call back to come in for an interview. I know the DON used to work...

We have an older lpn who's charting kind of makes you cringe. She charted, "Resident had skin tear to right elbow and I fixed it." This is just one example.

I think it's pretty rotten to call up administration and tell a lie, like the old creep who called up and said he came in at 10:30am (when it was 8:30) because it would add drama to his assertion...

I know how you feel. I was just talking about making a choice between family and career and that I just couldn't abandon my children. So, yes, I feel like I settled as far as a career goes but I'm...

The school I'm going to didn't require this. When I read the title of this thread my initial thought was they were looking for something political. What you have sounds good, though. I hope...

At 35 I feel pretty over the hill. I know a former state trooper who is in CRNA school now and he is 37. I know there are some older than that who swing it but I feel like I've missed enough of my...

All I have are a bunch of automated reject letters jamming up my computer. Thank all these nursing schools recruiting new nurses. I can tell you right now where there is a community college next...

Hey, if you know how to get hospital interviewers to buy that let me know how you do it. I've got a BSN and I'm enrolled in graduate school but the first thing they crinkle their face at is hearing...

This is not me stereotyping, this is the mindset of all interviewers in hopsital positions I have applied to. And ultimately the reason they do not choose me over other applicants. This perspective I...

I wonder if you experienced LTC workers think that these demands/observations are unreasonable. These are some comments I heard (or heard about) the past weekend by several different resident's...

Do you think it would help or make any difference in my quest for a ob in the NICU?

I'm not a new grad and I still can't get any hospitals to give me the time of day, and my GPA is good, too. Maybe I'm just too old? (mid 30's)

I mentioned "A Hall" and he said, "You calling me an A-HOLE???" (joking, I know, but you kind of expect someone to be a little more reserved, especially when you have first met them.) They paired...
