   Have you ever been bullied by someone who had seniority over you?

   adhazelett replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

   I cant honestly say this person has seniority over me but day shift nurses where I work sure seem to run the place. Anyway, I have noticed, unfortunately, that the day nurse that comes in and takes...

   adhazelett replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

   OK….I work in psych- and I want to stress AGAIN- WE ALL RECEIVE THE SAME TRAINING, from orientation to annual. However, we are not all treated the same when it comes to floating. CERTAIN nurses...

   How does your unit determine who floats?

   adhazelett replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

   FIRST OF ALL…I am far from “inexperienced”. I have been a nurse for 30 years. SECOND: this kind of treatment, from my employer AND from MaryB7 in this thread has made me STOP caring and I...

   adhazelett replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

   My facility apparently doesn’t have a float policy and there is no taking turns or float pool. It’s basically whoever the supervisor wants to pull and has led to a mass turnover. We had one nurse...

   Favoritism among staff

   adhazelett replied to adhazelett's topic in General Nursing

   More details - I guess "new" wasn't the right term- "adjusted" because the management in place now was moved up from the floor.... I don't see this person changing for others- and I have already...

    Miserable nurses

    adhazelett replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to sound callus, but get used to it. Nursing is a back-biting profession. There's always someone around ready to throw you under the bus to save themselves... And it only gets worse the longer...

    So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    adhazelett replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to work where you do! Where I work, it doesn't matter if your an ADN, BSN, or MSN- we all work doing the same thing and very few places are willing to pay you for your

    So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    adhazelett replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    adhazelett replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    To go from CNA to RN, you should expect a significant increase...think about the education you achieved. But it still isn't enough...stay an RN long enough, and that will become clear. No matter where...
