Very sad.

Now it makes sense, right?

Oh my....does THIS sound familiar? I bet a lot of nurses here know all to well what that is like. I worked supervising a few times in LTC and it is a common problem- insubordinate CNA's...but they...

This is a rough one to answer. Actually, I am somewhere close to where you are now....maybe even it would be a worse situation for me if it weren't for having a great, supportive significant other. I...

I don't have any co-workers right now, but I have had plenty in the past. I was thinking of some of them recently....mostly ones I worked with in my first 10 years as a nurse (back then I was an...

samadams8, I can't see how I made any assumptions in what I said that you replied to. I was giving my view of what has happened to some people, including myself, as new nurses. Going back, the OP...

Evolvingrn, So true...a new nurse is in a learning mode the first year or two....and, of course, we are always learning afterward too. That first year or two...a lot of what we thought the job was...

Good points, Caroladybelle.

If it were only that easy. It usually isn't. But it's a great thought.

Sounds like the world of nursing, for sure. Sorry that happened to you. I think I learned later in my career that you need to lay low at most jobs. Squeaky wheels never get oiled in this...

I'm not working currently...but I think sitting and talking to my loved one relaxed me some, when I did work. Sitting outside where I could breathe fresh air and look at nature was good too.

To: bbuerke You know, you make me think of the time, way back when- when I was an LPN just out of LPN school and worked on a similarly run unit where the RN's had much fewer patients and had a...

I have definitely worked with people I could say were lazy. It doesn't take long to figure out. i.e., When the staff member leaves the unit many times during a shift (much more than reg. breaks) or...

Funny, I have been in this situation with one of my "teams" in the past, as a Supervisor. Thinking of your reply, I know if I had brought this up in a team meeting, it would have gotten nowhere. I...

As I recall, it was a little hellish in nursing school-- Okay, very hellish, at times....both for my LPN and then, even more so with the RN schooling. I think, as one of my instructors said...

Just to answer this question and this question only,...Honestly, I would have to say you have to have a respect and rapport with your co-workers. Sometimes this this makes for a better work...

Working in Nursing seems to be, IMO, very conducive for call ins. There is high stress everyday in most nursing jobs. I think some nurses think it is better to call in than quit. And I guess they are...

I think you can certainly 'ask' the charge nurse. I think, if you have legitimate reasons such as continuity...your request will be considered with more weight than no reason or because the patient...

While I am not extremely worried about this personally because I have already been out of work for a year and a half (long story), I do believe AAS Nurses should have a place in the workforce....ALL...

Just as you are overwhelmed with the information and some criticism (whether justified or not), try to understand that your preceptor is probably overwhelmed also. In addition, your preceptor is...

Thank you Sooooooo much MB37! That was very helpful! Good luck on your house search in St. Pete! :)

I asked one question about the Port Saint Lucie area and got a little feedback from one nice woman. How about FL in general? What are some of the best hospitals for staff? Best nursing to patient...

Bumping this up to see if I can get more input from anyone else in the Port Saint Lucie area and find some people who live and work around there.

Can I get some feedback on the Ft. Pierce and Port Saint Lucie nursing culture and pay scales? Pretty please? :)

I have known some smart LPNs and BSNs, some dumb LPNs and BSNs, and also some smart ASNs and dumb ASNs...How about that? LOL :bugeyes:
