    Nurse Bullying

    Hoosier_RN replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to get flamed for this, but here it goes: I think nowadays, it's so easy to cry bully when someone doesn't act or react the way you want them to. I see it at my workplace all day. Mainly the...

    How to get accepted with a learning disability

    Hoosier_RN replied to godzgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You would have to check individually, but my guess would be no, as most require some kind of math. Ask the schools. Good

    Successful Orientees Vs Unsuccessful Orientees

    Hoosier_RN replied to purplegal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To me, it seems kind of creepy that you are tracking this. It's akin to stalking. Saying this as nicely as I can, move

    Just started clinicals but wondering if this is for me?

    Nursing is my passion but I feel like I am too dumb.

    Hoosier_RN replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

    Also, go and actually shadow nurses in different areas. So many on these boards know its their 'passion', only to get out into the real world of nursing and find out it's totally different. Not trying...

    Dear Preceptors

    Hoosier_RN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Always be on time (or call in plenty of time to notify), be prepared, and listen! Ask questions if you don't understand a process or concept, regardless of how simple it

    Unsafe ICU staffing/ patient ratios! Please help!

    Hoosier_RN replied to sophiern1's topic in Critical Care

    Partially true. But TPTB want and need to turn a profit to stay viable. Greed has made bigger profit better. Some of the profits could go to extra staff. But you'll never see a CEO decline their

    Dear Preceptors

    Hoosier_RN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Preceptors

    Hoosier_RN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    New Grad RN.... work options that do not involve a hospital

    Hoosier_RN replied to new.grad.rn's topic in First Year After Licensure
