1. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   adhazelett replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   Better question, why is that all anybody cares about during this time of pandemic?! I made my Constitutional choice NOT to be vaccinated along with MANY other healthcare workers of varying degrees and our place of employment gives us that RIGHT. ...

2. How does your unit determine who floats?

   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 absolutely REFUSE to float while others don’t even get a...

3. 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 have completed a second degree in order to LEAVE this discr...

4. How does your unit determine who floats?

   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 simply walk out because she, like myself, is the desig...

5. Favoritism among staff

   adhazelett replied to adhazelett's topic in General Nursing

   I appreciate all the feedback- I have already started looking for another job; rumor has it, management has been investigated(for all the good it did). But, you all have to understand, I live in a rural area- changing jobs is not all that easy. When ...

6. 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 started looking for that mentioned exit. But in the m...

7. Favoritism among staff

   adhazelett replied to adhazelett's topic in General Nursing

   We've had a change in management and it's coming from there... Shift discrimination, friendships- things of this nature.

8. Favoritism among staff

   adhazelett posted a topic in General Nursing

   Any advice on dealing with favoritism among staff? Especially if it's causing a near hostile work environment...?

9. 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 you're in it. My favorite was "grow thicker skin"....

10. 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 degree.

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

    adhazelett replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, you have to have nurses- or do you? As I commented earlier, our automony and nursing judgment is being restricted, mostly because of corporations taking over companies and facilities- they only care about the bottom line. How can you run a "busi...

12. 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 you work, your higher-ups continue to stack work ...

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

    adhazelett replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree so much so I am leaving the profession(these aren't the only reasons I decided to leave); but last month, I started taking classes to steer my life in a direction as far from nursing as possible... the reasons listed in the thread are only a ...
