..... Oh good lord.... Lol

Is Tania a patient or a staff member? I'm guessing ( maybe hoping ) that you're a new nurse..

Yes, please do tell. I've got time to wait for your response.... I'll be right here cleaning my laptop screen, my desk and wiping up the floor....lol.

People are stupid...happens every day and they still don't learn..

Agree way totally with Sour Lemon.. yeah..

I somehow found this quote both humorous and fairly sad at the same time...!:-):'( To SMF0903- Somehow the general public needs to be made aware of this f'dumbass move by the PTB (that's Pigs That Be). Try explaining that you have to pee to your pati...

Whatever your vehicle is, the make doesn't matter so much as putting adequate winter tires on it. I put studs on both my car and truck (they're allowed in my state). Extra money, but I feel it is very well spent. And keep supplies in your vehicle. I'...

Passion is something one would do for free.. I don't know anyone who would work as a nurse for free. I loved being a nurse, and I love my present job in the plant.... But I ain't doing either one of them without being paid. Now I'll raise horses and ...

I used to change in the nurse's office after every shift. I even changed in the bathroom when I was still in clinicals. Last thing before punching out. I would die before wearing scrubs outside of the nh, much less to my vehicle and then home. Much n...

Discrimination? Where the discrimination? What minority/majority/color/Creed/religion/gender/shirt color/hairstyle/shoe size?... Ain't seein' nuthin'....

I also agree.... And boy howdy if I were one of the students and found that the DON were to pull a stunt (and that is nothing more than a stunt) like she's suggesting, I, as an aspiring medical professional, would be extremely insulted. That is babyi...

Depends..... I've assisted at injuries at horse shows, family events and the jobsite. But I have also passed three MVAs because it wasn't safe to stop (pulling horse trailer on busy interstate, too many others also pulling over right away, obvious de...

Well you can't have everything.... Apparently that's just the way it is in your area. Not that it's right, but it is what it is... Probably would be just as well to go SNF for a couple years. Contracts become common because nurses jump ship (usually ...

Tinybb- this is a sign of things to come with this company.... Bad things, very baddd...

Are you wearing long sleeves?

Your boss is a pig...stand your ground. And another thing. You don't have to be sick to feel justified in declining extra hours... And you don't have to say that you are sick when you tell them "no", if infact, you're healthy as a horse.

They more than likely already know.

Kidsr - I'm wondering if the problem may be that it is apparent that English may not be your first language.

They may not have been able to. I have been one-on-one where another staff was being 'mildly' (relatively) assaulted by a resident. I instinctively rose from my chair to go assist the staff, but she firmly told me to remain with my resident (I was ne...

Meh, your just new....

Ya know... Honestly, I had no problems the day after a run of 12 hour shifts when I worked as a nurse. In manufacturing, I was used to the same type of shifts, so there was no adjustment. Also, I never let families, co-workers and administration nega...

The only thing that will work is adequate staffing. And by adequate, I also mean compensation. Forget about everything else.

Nope... I'd say she's a pig.

Start notifying the families

Well first of all, there's not a damn thing wrong with being the money being a factor in why anyone is going into nursing.. OK? Are you gonna work for free or what?
