  1. Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    1919--again, as I said in several of my replies in this post, I DID talk to the nurse in question and I DIDN'T ask to be scheduled different days than the ones she works. Sheesh!!! When we work, we...

  3. Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby--excuse me? I don't run to "mommy." I did try to resolve this problem on my own. I tried twice to communicate to AN, who invented this whole "problem" in the first place. People like you are the...

  4. Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe I forgot to mention this--my supervisor actually scheduled me to work WITH that nurse on the 3 Thanksgiving days!!! Outrageous! It's as if she is supporting the

  5. Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I am higher in seniority. There are 9 nurses below me. Go figure!

  6. Techs don't like to be asked to do "scut" work

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone! I work Labor and Delivery, but this topic is not specific to what we do on our unit. Our support staff had a meeting last month, the minutes from which I just read, and I am blown...

  7. Please help!! Will I pass NCLEX with 50-60% on kaplan Q bank??

    LNDRN19 replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do recommend practicing timed testing. On the computer practice tests I took, I scored somewhere around the score range you noted. I passed the NCLEX the first time with 77 questions. Don't freak...

  8. Techs don't like to be asked to do "scut" work

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, none of them (as far as I understand) are Certified Scrub Techs. They all learned how to scrub via on-the-job-training. Our hospital calls them OB Techs, and they are paid more than...

  9. L&D nurse is calling formula poison!!!

    LNDRN19 replied to hotmama2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BRAVO to you for breastfeeding your son for as long as you have--way to go!!! :yeah:I'm so sorry that your mother is treating you this way. How awful and painful. Yes, breastmilk is far superior to...

  10. Staffing question

    LNDRN19 replied to cherokeesummer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have been working a postpartum unit for over 2 years and have never had more than 4 couplets. I would be out of my mind having as many as you do. A lot of our mommas have major med/surg issues, and...

  11. WORST Hospital EVER.

    LNDRN19 replied to missingunc's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that you had this experience. You are absolutely right that every patient should be given unbiased, proper attention and that symptoms should not be minimized. Diagnostic tests determine...

  12. FHR - antepartum units?

    LNDRN19 replied to KimEveRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Holy smokes that's a lot of monitoring! We do FHRs q shift and PRN, NSTs once or twice a day. If the patient needs continuous monitoring, they are transported to L&D. Also, L&D nurses do not...

  13. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    On our unit, we fill out a "wish list" for our upcoming schedule. In the past, our scheduler has said that she prioritizes who gets requested days off based on the reason for needing the day off. At...

  15. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people are misunderstanding where I am heading with this post. Maybe I didn't word the orginal post well. I am trying to say this: it would be helpful if the hospital had a childcare...

    I'm still trying to find a Sunday sitter. I would totally pay someone to work Easter! I'll try that! Maybe

  18. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I would LOVE to work nights, but my husband is a cop and his assignment changes yearly and he could get moved to nights. We have no relatives nearby to help us with daycare and I have yet to find...

  19. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Using the Union, DON, CEO, attorney, etc. would be a last resort. I know it's pretty extreme to do such things. My scheduler has been pretty good about meeting my requests for the most part. I am a...

  21. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think anything is "owed" to me, I am available 6/7 days/week, they knew about the Sunday issue when I was hired. I didn't say that employers were "required" to do anything, but if they are...

  22. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Jessie, I am not new to the facility. I have been there almost three years. Easter is not a paid holiday for us. If it was, I would gladly trade with someone if I could. There are other nurses on my...

  23. Child care and schedule

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    My schedule request was turned in ahead of time. It's just that (apparently, as I was told) other people asked for the day before I did. In the past, this has not been the criteria for getting the day...

  24. No report; disrespected

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone--I am troubled about something and would like to have your feedback. I am a postpartum/newborn/high-risk OB nurse. Yesterday I was charge in the nursery. An L&D nurse that I normally...
