    LPNewbie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone. I work in an assistant living facility. Normal shifts are 7a-3, 3p-11 (my shift), and 11-7. My boss asked me to work 3pm-3a. 3-11 was short staffed but enough to be "safe" and the...

    LPNewbie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Context: Assistant living, evening shift We always have a charge nurse. Occasionally it's me or "Gina" or "Thomas". Gina is wonderful. Thomas is not. Today Thomas is the charge...

  3. Does anyone ever feel guilty about calling off?

    LPNewbie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    First, I'm not one to call off. The last time I called off was July of last year. I truly feel guilty calling off. I had to take a mental health day. Of course I lied and said I was physically...

  5. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today is my first day back to work after a 6 day vacation and I already feel tightness in my chest and anxiety. I've never felt this way at a job before. In my life. I absolutely hate it here and the...

  6. I hate this "squeaky wheel gets the oil" actions in healthcare!!

    LPNewbie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Warning: This is a rant So I had a lot (LOTS) of growing pains as a new nurse. I made mistakes and I haven't been the best employee 100% of the time. But with self-reflection and self help, it's an...

  8. I hate this "squeaky wheel gets the oil" actions in healthcare!!

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't a bad idea. As silly as it sounds, I've never considered advocating for myself. I really like this idea. Thank

  10. I think I'm too dumb to be a nurse

    LPNewbie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm currently working at my second nursing job after being terminated from my first job for making med errors. With each error, I made changes to ensure they wouldn't happen again. Besides these...

  12. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like the post I made doesn't really reflect me as a person. You're right. I get it. My past sucks. The only person who knows about these med errors and my uncertainty is myself and all of you...

  13. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Im sorry you view my posts as "attention seeking". Unfortunately this forum is the only place I can turn to at times. I'm the only one of my friends that is a nurse and no one really understands what...

  14. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    This. There are a group of people who tend to overcritize and purposely put others down. Including myself. And as someone who had worked so hard to change and take my career more seriously, their...

  15. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    No i get what you're saying. I love nursing. I was saying to a few others here, I'm not the nurse I was before. Before... to be frank, I didn't take it seriously. Which is awful. I put my blame on...

  16. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where you are coming from. I've spoken to a lot of veteran nurses and they said if someone said they never made a med error, they're lying. I've always been very honest with myself and my...

  17. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I had a moment of stupidity and wasn't thinking properly. I went to work and everyone wasn't as bad as I pictured in my head. I wish I weren't so dramatic at times. My twenties are just kicking my...

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I read all of your comments and of course Wuzzie life coach I never had and told me to put my big girl panties on and face the situation like an adult. So I did. And I had a really good day. I have...

  19. Quitting my job before my shift starts

    LPNewbie replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely correct. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. I have a lot of insecurities as nurse because of my past. My employers praise me up and down but I keep thinking of my performances in the...

  21. Is Nursing this terrible?

    LPNewbie posted a topic in General Nursing
