   Burnt Out As A New Nurse

   Way to blame the victim. Bullying in nursing has been documented and reported countless times, research papers writen. It is not in her head and you shouldn't imply so.

   Burnt Out As A New Nurse

   Nurse Pompom replied to RNa23's topic in New Nurse

   Nop nop nop, leave. Secure another job first if you have no money saved up. There is no reason you should torture yourself staying in a job that doesnt have your back. I too was bullied my first year of nursing. Looking back on it, I should have sai...

   CFR 42 part 2

   Nurse Pompom replied to Laura RN's topic in Recovery

   I agree that your personal medical info shouldn't be public without a judgement won against you. Once a judgement is passed, yes, people should know why someones license was suspended. You serve the public and with your license come responsibilities...

   NICU Nurses Are Not Nannies

   Nurse Pompom replied to byebyebedside's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe try a different specialty, but regardless of the patient population, you will always have to take care of the basic needs of your patients and that includes tasks such as cleaning feces and feeding pts - only my patients are adults.

    Acuity Tool Help

    Nurse Pompom replied to SassyRN93's topic in Pediatric

    That will never happen. Crappy assignments will always be handed over to floats, per diem, people they don't like.. the charge nurses know how to divide the work, they don't always do. 95% of the time, it's not a lack of knowledge issue, it's a cultu...

    New Job Not Working Out

    Nurse Pompom replied to Gma24's topic in General Nursing

    Top Causes and Symptoms of Nursing Staff Burnout and Ways to Help Reduce The Burnout

    Nurse Pompom replied to Susan Sears's topic in General Nursing

    Everybody wants to find and/or suggest ways to reduce burn out, but nobody does anything. It's nice on paper, but when your managers/hospital/staff are ancient or motivated by greed, they are not likely to change the way they have been (uncorrectly) ...
