in need of opinions. i relocated recently and started a position in a local well respected hospital. same specialty of nursing that I've always done, just different obviously as it's a new shift &...
I don't think they are beneath me, but where I came from we worked together. The ultimate goal is to move the pt to treatment quickly. So we all did our part, what is in our scope, to move the pt...
Peachtreern, thank you for the conscientious reply. I decided to provide my notice tomorrow. That's a great way to do it. Hopern84, I agree some places are like this with the personality and culture...
I've been through pretty much every one of the top 10 life stressor events and more than half of them occurred in the past 3 years. So I am trying to keep my stress level low and I am not willing to...
I called off my shift and will give notice on Monday. It is toxic. I know I'm complaining now but I did not meet one nurse that was happy in her position there. It kinda scares me away knowing that's...
I don't complain at work. I will do whatever is asked of me or thrown at me because I want to learn & get comfortable & think just doing it is the only way to get there. I know I'm letting it...
Unfortunately in contract most facilities have a "adapt to meet the needs of the department/facility" clause that excludes them from sticking to any particular schedule or hours. I'd look for another...
Hey I'm in a similar situation! I like what I do but I hate the hours & the co workers haven't been very welcoming. Are you giving notice? I am fearful of being black

I need to come to a decision tonight as I am due to go in. I am on the verge of saying "eff it" Agreed about looking out for myself. The night I got no break at all, I documented an IV in the right...
I guess I'm just pushed to the edge with stress level. Relocating is stressful in and of itself so add to it adjusting to a night shift and new negative work culture is breaking me down. I think being...
I just realized how crazy that is. I am on 12 hour nights and I don't get a break until 9 hours into my shift. On orientation. There is physically another nurse there and responsible for the...
I am worried about that... "do not hire" The company I am working for now is huge. There is 5 hospitals in network. I planned on transferring to another one in 6 months but it's getting more &...
I made sure I had a couple of months income saved before I moved Incase I didn't get a job right away. Ended up having 3 offers within a week and starting working within 10 days of move so I am ok. I...
Two types of stress- Stress of not having a gaurenteed income & stress of not sleeping & caring for patients while being tortured by preceptors. I'm just dreading this week of no sleep and...
I think the patients bs would have dropped regardless of the Levimir. I do not believe you did harm by administering it. I think the pt just bottomed out which was bound to happen... and I think the...
