  1. Holiday Bonus

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    Got a $1500 bonus and a catered meal if you work Christmas eve or Christmas. I normally get the bonus but not the meal since I don't work Christmas. The money is nice, but I wouldn't mind a card or...

  2. The Grinch of allnurses.com

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to invite all the grinches to my house for Christmas (eve) morning. Let me set the scene for you: A cozy living room equipped with a burning fireplace with the smell of wood and pine cones in...

  3. The Grinch of allnurses.com

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I am one of the annoying, crazy, "Christmas" loons that has my decorations up by November 1st. I blast Christmas music in my car. I bring holiday theme sweets to work all month long. My tree is too...

  4. Nurses help me

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to milo65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    She's not asking for opinions on her behavior or actions. She's asking what steps she can take to fix her situation. Good

  5. Break up during school

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Nicoleashley's topic in General Students

    Everyone who said you need time is correct, it's true. You do. You need to take the time to grieve and to process. Feel sorry for yourself, cry. Eat that large pizza and drink that whole bottle of...

  6. "That's a myth about nursing"

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This. It really is dependent upon where you live. I have lived in places where hospitals were crying for nurses. Other places, not so much. No one is

  7. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    You may have to open up and be honest about the reasons why you don't feel comfortable returning. Honestly, if you really don't want to go back there, let them know that you are uncomfortable...

  8. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    It's true that there is no "pre-med" degree. You can major in whatever you want, as long as you take the pre-req classes that you need in order to get into med school. If you have a bachelors, you...

  9. What nursing specialty has the best work life balance?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to dianearc's topic in General Nursing

    Psych. It can be a bit emotionally draining at times, but not too physically demanding most days. If you work night shift, a lot is just babysitting and making sure that all is well and everyone is...

  10. Mandated

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Carebear77's topic in General Nursing

    Continue with your plans and call

  11. No Respect.

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. That particular poster always seems to have a lot of "opinions" about things, but hasn't even started her nursing career

  12. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I think you've really hit the nail on the head here. Hospitals and places alike are so understaffed these days. We need all the help we can get. I'm fortunate enough now to work in a place where it's...

  13. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame her... it's irritating when someone rushes off to pump and is gone for hours at a time. But it's the same with people that smoke and such. They just mysteriously vanish at various points...

  14. What did you do after nursing school graduation?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to mstaurus2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got drunk and took the summer off and traveled. First place I went was France. Halfway through I went to Italy. I ended my summer vacation in Bali and came back home and laid around for a week,...

  15. What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Just don't feed them after

  16. What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    As a psych nurse, I've learned that mental illness is still so widely misunderstood. I've had patients with severe schizophrenia and have had their family members say, "There's nothing wrong with...

  17. I want to like my preceptor, but...

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I think I know what you're saying. Sometimes people with abrasive personalities can get off as mean, even when they are not trying to be

  18. Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think everyone should be like me... but to be honest, I am in the "suck it up, buttercup" camp about it. New nurses (new to nursing, new to the field/hospital etc) have to learn on the job and...

  19. I want to like my preceptor, but...

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Oh believe me, she definitely taught me what not to do when overseeing someone! I just got through it and went on my merry way. She was just a negative person and I didn't take her behavior...

  20. Ethical Dilemma

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    What was the outcome of that

  21. Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally love to teach and precept, when I am given the opportunity to. Reason being is because I have had, like most, my fair share of bad teachers/instructors. Maybe they were "bad" because they...

  22. I want to like my preceptor, but...

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I remember the days of my preceptor being lodged up my butt... thank God it wasn't a permanent situation and she catapulted out soon after orientation. Believe me, I think we were both happy! Just...

  23. Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    NurseDisneyPrincess posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was off for Thanksgiving this year. A co-worker was begging me to take her shift and would not leave me alone about it. I told her that I'd do it but I'd need $600 cash prior. She said, "I'M NOT...
