  1. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently lost my job and started applying. Seven years of experience and a bachelor's degree, I thought I'd be a hot commodity. It's 2019 and things are no different than when I graduated shortly...

  2. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    I've only worked at one place that in the past 7 years that wasn't toxic or had managers doing shady things. Unfortunately, that place went out of business. I've only worked at small companies, home...

  3. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    It's a long story and I don't know how much I should say on the internet. I have a lawyer and I'm suing for retaliation. I turned in an assignment despite objection to report it and filed an HR...

  4. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    I've thought about continuing education. I recently enrolled in an NP program, but dropped out right before the start date. I'm too worried about what advancement might bring me. I'm a nurse without...

  5. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    Your profile says you're in critical care, so you probably have med/surg experience. I've never worked in a hospital and struggle to get work anywhere if I leave my

  7. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't lived there in close to 10 years now, but I recall hating the 95 into Philly and 287 about as much as I hate LA traffic. At least you guys have decent public transportation. I would...

  8. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if it only affects those of us in cities. I'm in LA and you're in NYC. Everyone in small towns say their hospitals will hire anyone. How is it in NY and NJ? I have family in NJ and had...

  9. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I'd like to move to Wisconsin or North Carolina, it just isn't possible for me right now. I actually moved to Southern California in 2014 because there were no jobs where I was at. I lived...

  10. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    Have you checked to see what their requirements are? The hospitals near me have hundreds of positions open, too. They all require medical/surgical experience and will automatically reject my...

  11. New to assisted living is this normal

    Guest1130774 replied to Sam59808's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can send an anonymous complaint to the joint commission and CMS. They'll do a surprise reinspection. This needs to be reported. 40 patients means you have 3 minutes per patient on your med pass....

  12. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    That's something I have thought about. I'll probably have to move if I want to get a decent job. I'm in Los Angeles, so you can imagine the job market is saturated. Believe it or not, I have never...

  13. RN's skipping vital signs

    Guest1130774 replied to rn_patrick's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have never worked in a facility where the nurses or CNAs were lazy. However, I have worked in many where orders such as vitals end up skipped, gotten at the wrong times, or they make up the numbers....

    Guest1130774 replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    Did you have any luck with the blog? It's cheap and easy to set one up with

  15. Nursing shortage is BS

    Guest1130774 replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    My last few years have been with home health, hospice, and case management. My goal at the beginning of the year was to gain medical/surgical experience so I could work in a hospital system. I wanted...

  16. Jobs outside of healthcare after burnout

    Guest1130774 replied to Fnp2017urgentcare's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Keep us updated on this because I want to know, too. I recently left my job and was accepted into an FNP program. However, I will turn it down. I'm just too burnt out. My last job really did me in. It...

  17. Maybe HR Won’t Notice My Accusation, ha, ha?

    Guest1130774 replied to dmstanl1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What gets me is what they've done to dmstanl1 doesn't seem evidence-based. Is this the best course of action? We have a nursing shortage, we're all burnt out, and one of our own needs help. He got a...

  18. Maybe HR Won’t Notice My Accusation, ha, ha?

    Guest1130774 replied to dmstanl1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a shame the BON would go after someone for a DUI. We're nurses. We're overworked, burnt out, and losing our minds. We drink, smoke, do drugs, and live an unhealthy lifestyle. It's the only way to...
