1. Need positive reinforcement- people can be so mean!

   momofr&b replied to momofr&b's topic in Home Health

   Thanks Tewdles, I needed the reminder about the thicker skin. I will let my supervisor know, but I am worried about looking like I am incompetent! I have never had a complaint about my nursing skills yet, and what I lack in skills, I hope I make u...

2. Need positive reinforcement- people can be so mean!

   momofr&b posted a topic in Home Health

   Hi, I have had 2 experiences in the past week where family members have been rude and arrogant to me. Last week I had the son of a family member tell me I needed to "do more research" on his father before I showed up at his house, and just today I h...

3. Gonna make the move to home care!!

   momofr&b replied to carebear01's topic in Home Health

   That is so funny that you write that carebear because your story sounds exactly the same as mine! I have been a med surg nurse for 1 year, 8 months, and haaaaate it! The doctors are mean, the nurses hate each other, and the patients treat us like w...

4. What shortage?

   momofr&b replied to LogCabinMom's topic in General Nursing

   I agree that it is very frustrating looking for your first job. To be honest, I took a med surg job after swearing that I would never do med surg because that was what was available! And I did tell them that I had no other aspirations other than me...

5. So I'm fired. Again.

   momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   Not really. Nursing is not all roses and lillies. I just wanted to bring a little reality to the situation. It just seemed to me that when you lose one job and then lose another job with 3 separate preceptors thinking you may be unsafe, something ...

6. So I'm fired. Again.

   momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   Well I can't be so naive as to think it will never happen to me, and I am lucky to have had the experiences that I have had as an RN so far. Suesquatch, I hope you find the right fit for you, and I am sorry if I have offended you. Please know that ...

7. So I'm fired. Again.

   momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am a nurse, too, so I do understand what you all are saying. I am a med surg nurse working in a large suburban hospital. My job is not easy, but it is rewarding, and I know that if I were to be fired from one job, you can be sure that I would tak...

8. So I'm fired. Again.

   momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry I mixed up my numbers. I meant to write 12 pages. I understand being supportive and I am all for it. But if we go to work with a bad attitude because we do not like what we are doing, and she did write that she did not, what is the patient ga...

9. So I'm fired. Again.

   momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   I honestly can not believe that none of you believe that Suesquatch had any part in either of her dismissals. This criticism of everyone but her perpetuates the idea that nurses eat their young and that most hospitals are a terrible place to work fo...

10. So I'm fired. Again.

    momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I meant. Thanks

11. So I'm fired. Again.

    momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I got the idea from your post that said you hated it from job one, day one.

12. So I'm fired. Again.

    momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    no offense intended by previous message

13. So I'm fired. Again.

    momofr&b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why are we all assuming that she did not do something that warranted her firing? If 3 preceptors agreed that she could be unsafe, maybe she is. No offense. Maybe you could put some thought into that. Were you giving attitude because you did not l...

14. LaSalle BSN Fall07

    momofr&b replied to Irina2009's topic in Pennsylvania

    I just graduated from the LaSalle Acheive program on Mother's Day of this year. Aside from a little disorganization, I thought it was a great program. I had Meryle Gurmankin for Nurs 307, Bob Strayer for Pharm, and Sharon Beck as well. All were gr...
