  1. Seeking help

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    I really wouldn't worry about work finding out. It's unfortunate that there is still a stigma against seeking help through therapy/counseling. It's beneficial in so many ways and I'm truly happy that...

  2. What do you mean I'm not a REAL nurse?!?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to #Nurse2017's topic in General Nursing

    I have felt this way before. I'm currently a psych nurse and sometimes I feel like others think that we don't do as much as, say a nurse does in med/surg, ICU, etc. Each time I encounter that...

  3. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you're in for a wild ride. If you just started clinical, then consider yourself at the beginning of a crazy safari adventure that is the world of nursing. Buckle up! In nursing, you'll find that...

  4. Calling patients by "pet" names.

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to dbabz's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been a known offender for years. I actually attribute it to being born and raised in the south, where referring to people with terms of endearment was pretty prevalent (at least, where I'm from...

  5. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is my fourth job so far. I made the jump for a pay increase, and I've been here for around eight months. When I interviewed, I made sure I let them know my schedule and what I was available to...

  6. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't know the details' of anyone else's schedule. I can only speak for myself. During the interview I let them know my availability. They agreed. For me, it's less about "deserving" and...

  7. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    So true. It is annoying, and I have considered quitting, but overall I do enjoy the setting, the people (although the constant requests are annoying), and my schedule. I interviewed with several...

  8. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    If I honestly need a day off, I just take a sick day. Normally I'm pretty good about scheduling stuff I need to do around the times that I'm off. I will avoid making an appointment for things when I...

  9. Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    I hope my post didn't come off as harsh? I think I'm just truly frustrated with cell phone use in general. When talking to someone in daily life or in customer service, I feel like people are...

  10. Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it's unreasonable to expect someone to just sit in the dark, especially when a patient is asleep. I don't see a problem with sitters using their phone (as long as they were glancing up...

  11. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    Me either... lord no, lol. I hate answering the phone. I already know what they are going to ask. It would be different if I was getting paid to be on call. Then I'd be answering that thing. But I'm...

    Large hospital. I'm used to a smaller

  13. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    See, I'd be more than fine with a group text. I really wish they would do that. It's almost like they want to get you on the phone lol. It has to be part of the pressure tactic I

  14. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    They don't... but it's strongly encouraged. There is pressure there, if you get what I mean. I do have it in writing, I'm not worried about it getting taken away. I just feel pressured to answer? It's...

  15. Scheduling harassment

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, I worked weekends for five years. At the dialysis clinic my schedule was set, and I got used to it. I went through six interviews where I told them I wanted weekends... yeah, didn't get those...

  16. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    I can honestly really relate to this post. I'm one of the only few nurses on my floor that is off on weekends. I'm busy on weekends and I'm unavailable to work. My old hospital understood, but I've...
