1. Looking for advice; "handling" situations **LONG**

   Qing replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in General Nursing

   You are not in a great environment. We are human and you need someone to say hey you should have done this or that... instead of why didn't you do etc. so you can learn. Your manager is not really helping so as others have voiced, get out while you c...

   Qing replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

   Congratulations!!! Don't doubt yourself and sell yourself short. Believe in yourself and do your best. You will learn along the way and become more confident in yourself as you get more experience. There will be different personalities to deal with a...

3. Peds New Grad

   Qing replied to Gracieboo's topic in New Nurse

   As TruvyNurse said, take it with a grain of salt. Some people are just going to be nasty and you will learn how to deal with different personalities. There was this fellow nurse I worked with and it was never pleasant to deal with person. Always putt...

4. Assisted living turned nightmare

   Qing replied to danij040866's topic in Career Support

   You posted in a lot of detail and the environment you are in is putting your license and life at risk. You are working for free and there is a big labor issue here, so take a big step and quit. No need for notice and the last thing you want is for yo...

5. What made your jaw drop

   Qing replied to DextersDisciple's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know where this qualifies, but when I was a student there was an elderly who kept asking for help. There was a foreign device in her pelvic area and could not recall how it got there. Now apart from the confusion this patient had and calling...

6. Under investigation

   Qing replied to Clare2125's topic in HIPAA

   Okay as others have said... get your union involved ASAP. I had a bad experience several years ago when I first graduated nursing and passed the exams. DO NOT meet management or answer any questions without your union representative present. The unio...

7. Nurse dating former patient?

   Qing replied to mzsuccess's topic in Professionalism

   His behavior can be considered harassment and can escalate. He knows where you work and its his way to try to reach you. He has crossed the line and his behavior is not appropriate. I have a story about someone I worked with. Very nice person and som...

8. falling asleep during nightshift

   Qing replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

   Okay... you shouldn't be sleeping when you're supposed to be alert. This is separate from taking a break where you can do whatever you please, including a power nap, etc. Someone I worked with was famous for sleeping for a long period of time and I w...

9. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

   Qing replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

   Hospitals do not hire based on looks and someone who has skills to take care of the sick is their main concern. Who cares if you are not that tall and it should not be a factor in you deciding to apply to healthcare. I have known a couple of not so t...

10. Mistake on orientation..please help

    Qing replied to MommyRN89's topic in Medications

    I think this nurse was upset you didn't write the adjusted times for her. And yes, as others have said she is trying to throw you under the bus. You didn't cause the error so brush it off. Just be wary of people like that and always cover your butt. ...

11. To Travel or Not?!?!

    Qing replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Travel

    Ned RN has really good advice. I tried travel nursing and you know what? He is on point about the termination point. Someone or the place can say things that are not true and it gets you terminated. Been There Done That also gave me good insight abou...

12. Advice - References

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in General Nursing

    They want a manager.... the place I worked in was a small place and I do own my part for not being as aware of the politics. As an outsider I was always treated differently and I worked a lot harder to earn any respect from them. So when I left, it w...

13. Advice - References

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks KelRN215 and Sour Lemon, I think I understand it better and see what you both are saying. I don't expect to get a reference from the first job as it wasn't the best experience. I have the other option of requesting a copy of personnel file, wh...

14. How do you deal with personal attacks at work?

    Qing replied to NewRN'16's topic in Relations

    Okay, I get the feeling that you are in an environment that really doesn't support team work or working together for the greater good. There are those people who hold things against you just because you are different (whether justified or not). Jealo...

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Sour Lemon, I really hope I get the job. I doubt I can get a reference from that place, but I can request a copy of my file there.
