I have pretty good attendance at work which I am glad. I don't call in unless its an emergency. I have noticed staff call in sick due to personal reasons, or say they shovelled the snow and now their back hurts. They call in sick from work, and...

I tend to speak freely. I'm not sugarcoating anything. I'm going to tell you exactly how it is.

so I was the charge nurse since we were short and I was the most senior nurse surprisingly at work. anyways one patient was complaining that the nurse was ignoring him. nothing was reported to me and now they will speaking with me in the coming days ...

thank you so much! its just the fact of accountability. I don't want them to be like "well you were the charge nurse that shift. saying something like you were not aware is unacceptable". thank you so much! its just the fact of accountability...

As a new Nurse I have been dealing with it. When I was a student it was fine because the instructors were there to help. I arrive to work early. I sit in my car in the parking lot thinking about the shift and not knowing whats going to happen. I...

Thanks. Yeah I'll try not too think about it too much!

during the pandemic in the Retirement home I worked mostly 2 different floors and I can do those floors with my eyes closed. Now, the full timers who ran away are coming back and obviously they don't want to lay me off so they are putting me to work...

I work evenings 1500-2300. I notice the night shifts always blaming evening shifts like they tell me "you always report that everyone is fine on your shift on your report, but how come on my shift (night) she had a Fever? she did not have...

thanks. It's just that I feel like I let them down. I don't usually call in sick unless I am really sick or its an emergency. Sometimes I call in just to get away from work and stuff.

Feeling guilty. Then again I feel guilty about everything.

well its the truth for me at least.

Well in my case, we all have our own issues and whatnot. Especially in this field everyone has their own mental health issues which is important to address. But dealing with patients, staff, & visitors everyday, its like you are surrounded by wei...

I would work a certain floor and my buddy nurse would make side comments like, "Oh you're working today? She must be on vacation." Making side comments asking me why I'm working on that certain floor. They are all nosy asking me how I managed to...

While I do enjoy being a Nurse, its just the fact that everyone introduces me as a nurse. Like when we were still able to gather pre covid I would go to parties and my friends / family would introduce me to other people saying "heres my friend/nephew...

At our home we currently have 0 COVID cases. But back last Spring, we had lots of cases among staff and residents, lots were dying on oxygen, hypodermoclysis, staffing shortages pretty much a headache all around. I remember working mostly doubles and...

I have friends who are Nurses and friends who are Student Nurses. Student Nurses: I see them always posting on their story either IG or SC, about the medications they learned that day, them being able do a health assessment showing off thei...

thanks for the answer. yeah I feel proud but its like that is the way people introduce you. sometimes I am not really eager to talk about being a nurse or what I do at work especially when I am stressed and want to do other things.

I received my 2nd and final dose of the Pfizer vaccine. I felt very grateful to get it as I do work with vulnerable individuals. I want to protect myself, family, and patients. Thing is at work, it has staff divided. I took the vaccine based on ...

Lately I have been working a lot. Shifts are 8 hours, but I would pick up extra shifts, basically I am picking up shifts on the weekends I'm suppose to be off. Now my mom is telling me not to pick up any shifts so I don't get "burnt out". I mean...

thanks so much. I agree with your answer! Much better than some of the people on here. We will see how it goes!!

??? Thanks. I just pick up shifts cause nowadays I feel grateful to be employed. Lots of people in other fields have lost their jobs.

thanks for your answer. I agree there are a lot of factors to burn out, even your life at home can contribute to it. my mom told me to rest while my dad said it should be fine since I am young. I just don't want to do any inadvertent damage, but...

I won't. but I'll tell your mom it was okay ?

LOL

Of course. But lots of these frontline workers went LOA during the worse time. When the cases started going up in our home the workers kept calling in "sick" and eventually went on LOA> so why would they work during a regular outbreak then...
