  1. So my supervisor won't pay me...

    It’s everyone telling me to stay at the job for the benefits. It’s a city job with NYC Health and Hospitals. Free health insurance, a pension, etc. I don’t think I can handle the torture that...
  2. So my supervisor won't pay me...

    Hello, sorry for the delay in my response. I ended up calling off the day I posted and as soon she saw I called off, she approved my hours worked. This place is amazingly terrible. I don’t...
  3. Gaslighting job?

    Hello, I'm really confused as to if my job is gaslighting me? Employees do several things incorrectly. For example, a patient came in for something minor. I work outpatient. The patient...
  4. Secondary COVID exposure? What?

    Okay so I gotcha on the first part. The second part is this, the second close contact person was symptomatic (vaccinated fully) and I became symptomatic including a low grade fever that has not broke....
  5. This continues well into the nursing field so please people apply this to your life in general. Health care is FULL of cliques and bullies from coworkers to
  6. Hello, I am considering obtaining a graduate degree in engineering which means I would leave the nursing profession entirely. I wish I could continue in the nursing career; however, the market is...
  7. Non Clinical Positions For New Grads

    Or the poster could be accurate since nursing and requirements for certain things are forever changing. In order to by an ADN or DON in my area only requires 1 year of bed side nursing and 3 years of...
  8. Non Clinical Positions For New Grads

    I agree, 6 months was plenty experience for me. What blows my mind is how these clinic positions/non-clinic positions require all of this clinical experience that you will not use and actually forget...
  9. Hello! I am considering leaving the hospital until the end of the pandemic. Not necessarily because of the ill patients. Mostly because of the politics. I understand that there is a shortage of...
  10. BULLYING at work as Usual

    So long story short without giving too many specific details, I provided a doctor's excuse to cover a certain amount of days but was told by the nurse supervisor that doctor excuses are not acceptable...
  11. New Grad ICU Burnout from COVID

    I completely agree and I chose to leave the bedside. The burnout is too great that it was causing panic attacks and extreme anxiety. I couldn’t sleep. I felt sick to my stomach before every shift....
  12. Unable to wear N95 or papr

    I can’t wait to see how MUCH shorter the hospitals will be since they’re using this pandemic as an opportunity to bully/mistreat nurses..reform is coming soon
  13. I want to beg and plead with you not to share that opinion with anyone else. That is a slap in the face to those and the family members involved. That is far from factual information. This just...
  14. I’m not losing my perspective. I’m overwhelmed with the lies in full speed during the pandemic with management. I will be taking a break from acute care
  15. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    Is it really an excuse or is it them being honest about their level of knowledge and ability to care for a specific patient? At the end of the day, sometimes it’s not about “fair”, it’s about...
  16. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    Telemetry monitoring is actually a class that is taught and a test is given after the course. You should have been given the material needed to become comfortable with identifying various rhythms etc....
  17. BULLYING at work as Usual

    Thank you for the well wishes. The problem is employers have brain washed nurses into believing risking our lives to unprecedented extremes is our job. The nurses who are willing to step up and risk...
  18. Do some adulting or do some sacrificing? I’m glad you are brave enough to sacrifice yourself but that doesn’t mean every nurse should have to do so. This isn’t the military. Even they have a...
  19. Thank you! As I responded to that claim, we have complained to managers. We have questioned certain orders and consults as to the need for it. We are always ignored or ultimately blown off. It is...
  20. How do you know we haven’t? We have brought our complaints to management. We are always taking nonsense from MDs when we question certain orders or consultations. So do not assume. Why are you...
  21. BULLYING at work as Usual

    This is the most bias statement I’ve ever read. How on Earth is my health condition related to someone lying to get in front of a line when there is researched proof to back my claims? I’m...
  22. They don’t do well at all!! They go from tachypnea being their only symptom with stable satO2 to intubation
  23. and that’s a part of the problem. I’ve experienced this on a personal level as well. I actually felt the need to bring it to the public’s attention since I have experienced it on a personal...
  24. They have before and continue to push to do so. Some patients know enough to say no. Some experience very minor symptoms but are stable and they’ll intubate. The problem with health care is the...
  25. BULLYING at work as Usual

    Thanks! Technically, Covid isn’t in my job requirement. I didn’t sign up to work on an infectious disease unit either; however, I understand that I may come across infectious diseases....
