  1. How often do you work overtime?

    I have my regular scheduled shifts full time 80 bi weekly hours. I sometimes feel bad for turning down shifts like today they asked if I can come in, but I said I already had plans, and they had the last few days to ask me to come in. They asked me ...
  2. What to do if I like someone at work?

    I started working with someone, but they also work other floors, same shift which is morning. They're new so they are pulled everywhere. I like her, and I want to ask her out on a date, but its weird cause its a work thing. Asking for an opinion if i...
  3. Am I selfish for working overtime?

    I still live with my parents. anyways, I have to pay my credit cards, student loan, and car loan I want to make aggressive payments towards those and have them paid off at least by early next year. I have been working extra hours. My usual shift is 3...
  4. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    To me I am on the fence about it. When I was a student, we were taught not to complain, if we complained in our clinical about too much work we would get a warning, or be kicked out for not being competent. Now that I am working its much different. I...
  5. I've been working a lot, and my mother is upset?

    Basically this is my 2nd year in Nursing and I have enjoyed it so far. I am very proud as a Nurse and learn new things every shift. I have missed my nieces baptism, cousins graduation due to working. I have no shame in that. I. I have been working lo...
  6. I feel like as a new nurse things happen and you want to prevent things, but in the end you have no control of it. etc... behaviours etc.. falls..
  7. Recently I've been giving rides home to a few co-workers mainly because they do not have cars themselves, and we work in the evening so the bus ain't running and the staffing clerk asked me to do a big favour for her just these few weeks to give them...
  8. Basically my shift had ended at 5pm and I was ready to go home. Awkwardly a staff member who is also a Nurse was in the elevator with me she was going on her break. Greeted her and then she began sobbing, and I really was trying to avoid this situati...
  9. The other day we had a snow storm. My small Civic with Winter tires was not able to plow through the snow. I got stuck - I tried many times. I called work about 5 hours before my shift started to give them time. The clerk was like, "You should have p...
  10. I've been doing a lot of OT's lately. To me its not really about the money because if I work many overtime I am just paying more and more taxes (especially here in Canada). I think one time I worked OT and holidays and I accumulated like $1100 in tax...
  11. Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Sounds good. I hate to see people doing it just for the cash.
  12. I have worked only 14 consecutive hours, mainly because they were short, but my shifts are only 8 hours. I have worked about 13 consecutive days. But that is because they offered overtime. Now some may have 2 jobs so it may be longer. I heard some s...
  13. Has the staffing clerk ever made you feel guilty of calling in "sick"?

    Thanks Dave
  14. Has the staffing clerk ever made you feel guilty of calling in "sick"?

    literally make us feel guilty and that we are putting the patient at risk when we call in. Yet what about our life?
  15. How to deal with workplace Drama/Gossip?

    Nothing special, but my co-worker also a Nurse female so obviously the opposite sex as me. I have been giving her rides home lately as we end our shifts since shes been going through a rough time. She does not own a car. Recently a care w...
  16. The nurse working on the other side just doesn't like me. Yesterday and today she is like bossing me around telling me to feed my resident I told her I will when I finish my job, then she's like empty your cart and don't do that with it, or document ...
  17. How To Deal With Nasty Coworkers: Do you have any experiences?

    Agree. I just felt attacked I did nothing wrong here.
  18. How To Deal With Nasty Coworkers: Do you have any experiences?

    Absolutely. We do have a union leader. They will most certainly ask staff who say yes, they do not have time for seniority or stuff like that. I just feel anxious about this. Might want to get a prescription for Nortriptyline.
  19. How to deal with rude & demanding patients/residents?

    We got a new admit in our home and he is very needy and demanding. Always using the call bell for stuff like moving the pillow, closing the window, etc... and if you do something not their liking they will have a comment like you did not do it proper...
  20. Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

    I have good attendance, I use a sick day maybe once every 3-5 months? I had to use it today since I received my 3rd dose of Pfizer and I was unsure of how things will go so I said I cannot make it as my arm really is sore, and that anything can happe...
  21. What was your motivation that made you become a Nurse?

    I guess in my young life, there are very few things I could have done successfully, but being a Nurse is sure one of them. + My 2 older, sisters one is a Nurse one is an Accountant so I had that craving wanted to prove to them that I'm worthy, that I...
  22. I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    Spend 10 minutes of my life? Absolutely not. There are things I should know, but there are definitely things that I don't need to know and don't need to put my nose in. I didn't want her bad mouthing her ex, or saying something about her kids. Again ...
  23. Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

    Great as in? I don't mind call outs. Sometimes you just need the day to rest.
  24. Basically we have a new manager and the CEO of the home was introducing her around the building. I have a good relationship with the CEO. They both came up on the floor and greeted all the staff at the nursing station. I was sort of flustered with m...
  25. AS a new Nurse that started working at the start of Covid and the height of Covid I have seen a lot of things that made me better, but not pretty things. I've seen people die, I've been involved in investigations etc.. it was so stressful to sleep at...
