  1. New Grad Being Eaten Alive

    Town & Country replied to Phenomenon's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, even though you're a new grad, you have to stand up for yourself. What is going on is not acceptable. The unit is obviously dysfunctional. The trick now is to protect yourself, your...

  2. Right to work states

    Town & Country replied to louloubell1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  4. How do you get it through nurses heads that we MUST be patient advocates?

    Town & Country replied to pghfoxfan's topic in General Nursing

    I was just sitting here, thinking that maybe the reason I HADN'T seen this is because I usually work third shift. Then I remembered......... .......I once watched a doctor remove an infected...

  5. How do you get it through nurses heads that we MUST be patient advocates?

    Town & Country replied to pghfoxfan's topic in General Nursing

    I have never seen or heard of a nurse who "reminded" a doctor to wash his/her hands or the like. I shudder to think what would happen to them! I imagine they would be out of job....... If...

  10. Team Interview

    Town & Country replied to JNT'smom's topic in General Nursing

    I would never do a "team" interview. This has only been suggested to me once - only heard of it in one place, and before they told me about it I'd already decided I wouldn't take the job. A very...

  11. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Town & Country replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    What gets my goat is working with lazy CNAs who think they are too good to do their job and want YOU to do it - in addition to your OWN job. No, it isn't good enough just to help them with a...

    Town & Country replied to xmaxiex's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Town & Country replied to soomach's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you have any sort of certifications? Have you thought of critical care? I would get my ACLS and PALS before I changed jobs. If I were you I would try critical care before leaving the...

    Town & Country replied to JNT'smom's topic in Nursing Career

    It hasn't been THAT long. I would just try to get a FT Med/Surg position. Work and take some classes, like basic EKG and whatever your education dept. offers. Once you are back in FT M/S, you...

  16. Should I quit my job?

    Town & Country replied to jacesmom2's topic in Nursing Career

    Why don't you try third shift? At least you would get to see your kids. I have never worked second shift because I didn't want to be away from my children. Thirds worked for

  17. Please i need help

    Town & Country replied to Ms.RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Welcome to nursing! This is the situation more often than not. I agree with the other posters. Be assertive and go straight to your Unit Manager. It may be too late to do that, but what have...

    Oh I so agree with that! No way should she even consider trying to get that crappy "job" back; she has moved so far beyond it! What nurses don't realize is that there are sooooooo many...
