1. Rules And regs

   amiss8488 posted a topic in Home Health

   Feels like there are so many and as a travel nurse, nobody (especially the sups) knows them. How the heck can I familiarize myself with them in the different states? I'm so tired of being told I need to keep patients on who are non compl...

2. is this worth it?

   amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in Home Health

   yes. I think I am overloaded. This is new for me and too much. So I am going to slow down and maybe after a few years I can pick up. It's these student loans that are killing me. just want them gone so I push myself to the edge, but then my work is i...

3. is this worth it?

   amiss8488 posted a topic in Home Health

   I have 2 years of experience as an RN and most of it was in the OR. I loved it, yet hated it. It never felt right to me and I always struggled to "fit in" and I was even bullied for my religious views (the became the last straw). So I took a job with...

4. Religious discrimination

   amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in General Nursing

   Changing mine frame would be good. But how should one change their mind frame when they have been humiliated, put down and treated with aggression in the workplace? I'm not going to accept it. Also, he seemed genuine and like he had good intentions. ...

5. Religious discrimination

   amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in General Nursing

   I had good intentions. I actually usually keep to myself at work. I don't really get close to people there. But this is a new job that moved for. It's an extremely rural area. He actually seemed genuine and like him and his family wanted to help. I'v...

6. Religious discrimination

   amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in General Nursing

   Agree.. I lacked boundaries. But that gives him not right to treat me like garbage. He didn't have good intentions for helping me out which is why boundaries should have been in place. I don't agree that it has nothing to do with religion though. He ...

7. Religious discrimination

   amiss8488 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I moved out of a state for supposedly an amazing position. But have had some issues with a coworker. For one I think he's a raging narcissist. He has most of the staff wrapped around his fingers. He's also one of the most important people in our h...

8. Not for me

   amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

   I kind of laughed at your response. It's just so true. I think I started to second guess myself and wonder if I did something wrong. I will say that I've talked to others and he has some heavy issues. He is known to pick on people. He has also had to...

9. Not for me

   amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

   Yeah it seems like it's always something. I've worked at places where the techs are horrible. They treat you like dirt because they have done this for 20 or more years. I really don't get it. Why more experience makes you better. It definitely helps ...

10. Not for me

    amiss8488 posted a topic in Operating Room

    Do you ever feel that OR nursing just isn't for you? Not because you don't enjoy it but because of the people. I am hitting the end of my road with this profession. I have been in the OR for about a year and a half now. I've worked in 4 different fac...

11. 2018 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    amiss8488 replied to mefifome's topic in New Nurse

    Should I even bother to do this if my HPSA score is 12? Seems like most people have higher. I live in a very rural area though so thought it would be higher. also how do you get your DTI?

12. Different OR..

    amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

    I suppose ivr been so against it because at the first hospital I worked at they drilled it into my head, NEVER sign the consent as a circulator. I guess it just seemed obvious that it was better to have someone who was not in the room sign the consen...

13. Different OR..

    amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

    Okay thanks for the info. Not sure why the other places I've worked at have rhe bands then when it's not a left or right procedure

14. Different OR..

    amiss8488 posted a topic in Operating Room

    So I moved from a city to a very rural area. A different state as well. In Chicago they are big on the operating room nurse never signing the consents. Where I moved, Colorado, they have a different way and the OR nurse does. Is this okay? I feel lik...

15. I'm in hell

    amiss8488 replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

    I left for more experience. I was also averaging about 60 hours a pay period for a few months. I was so tired of doing outdates and cleaning!! I want to do nursing things! Get in there and learn! I want to do stuff like trauma and spinal cases... But...
