    Have you ever been hired for one job, but then ended up doing something completely different?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like I've moved backwards. I'm now back to 14+ hour workdays and 10 Diet Pepsis a

    Have you ever been hired for one job, but then ended up doing something completely different?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Not a whole lot has changed. It turns out that an RN legally needs to be managing the meds in assisted living, so that's why, as the only RN, I've been assigned that. Unfortunately, it is not going...

    RN vs LPN setting up meds

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    Any idea why an RN would be setting up meds in ALF/memory care vs an LPN? Today, I was busy doing an admission that took 6 hours to complete. 2 hours alone was spent with the family/patient...

    Have you ever returned to an old job?

    SilverBells posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Has anyone ever taken a new job--and decided they wanted their old job back? I just recently took a new position and am thinking of returning to my old one. The reason being that I found out...

    Potential New Job Option

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    So, as some of you may know, I recently started a new position within the last week. One of the things that I've noticed is that some of my new coworkers are very intense, especially in their...

    Potential New Job Option

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    As some of you may know, I took an ADON position about 3 months ago. It has been somewhat of a disappointment. Word has gotten around, and the other day, I had a supervisor in the assisted...

    Potential New Job Option

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    However, I think there is a little guilt in that I haven't really done anything recently to earn a $9000 raise. Yes, there's been issues at work and with some of the coworkers, but I do wonder how...

    Potential New Job Option

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm excited. Part of me thinks it doesn't look the greatest to leave the ADON position after only 3 months. But yet, this workplace has become extremely toxic. I need to get out of here,...

    I received the job offer. Not only did it not come with a pay decrease, it came with a $9000 increase in salary. It was too good to turn

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm being honest, the ADON is a garbage position that they use to give trash assignments to. They want me to work like a dog, but I won't have it. I've done that before. I'm not doing it

    I have an in-person interview tomorrow. My parents are trying to discourage me from taking this position due to the slight decrease in pay, but I'm feeling like a change is warranted and this could...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    Anyone else experience any cliques at work? Did this affect your work performance at all? Recently, I've noticed that some of the new people at my workplace are developing a clique. The new...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I was doing better, but the therapist I had been working with (and doing well with) went to a company that won't accept me due to location, so there's been a setback. There's also been a lot of...

    It was more of a, "If I'm not smart or competent enough to enter orders, why on earth do you think I'm capable of performing a PICC line dressing?" type of thing. Completing a PICC line dressing...
