  1. Need help getting through feeling of burnout

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I haven't been here in a long while. Hope you're all well! This is a tiny bit long, apologies, but thanks for reading this: I've been a nurse for a bit now—19 years. I'm...

  2. Yesterday, I feel like I failed as a nurse.

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi friends, I haven't been here in a while and I apologize. This is a great site and I have missed you. For quick reference, I am a Labor and Delivery RNC with 7 years of experience as a nurse, 5 of...

  3. Unprofessional doctor

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi everyone, I am looking for thoughts and perspectives about a situation so that I can take the next step in dealing with it. I work with a doctor who has been rude to me and others for about the...

  4. Unprofessional doctor

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's what I thought, too, regarding the insecurity. As far as I know, Dr.G's attendings have a hard time dealing with her and, according to my unit mgr, she's had to be spoken to about these...

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you! I love precepting. Students are cool. Dr. G is not worth my stress, which is why I have been ignoring much of her insolence. It was when she yelled at me in front of others that I knew I...

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you so very much! It was hard to keep my cool--I have enough feisty Irish blood in my veins that I have to watch my responses to people. I absolutely agree with you in that she is creating a...

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, these are all great replies and have helped me a lot! Yes, I agree with not friending doctors on FB anymore...completely agree. I quit adding them as friends a couple of months ago, no matter how...

  9. Unprofessional doctor

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are FB friends because up until recently, we got along great. I think you are right about needing to delete her. I've been thinking about doing that. As far as venting goes, she vents everytime she...

  12. Asked to reduce pointage...weird

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi friends! Would you think it was weird if your unit manager asked you if you wanted to reduced your pointage from a 0.9 FTE to a 0.75 FTE? She asked me that yesterday. She played Spin Doctor and...

    Thank you for posting this! What you said was almost exactly what I said to her! :) Thank you for your sentiment on loyalty--I agree with

  14. Asked to reduce pointage...weird

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Snuggles--thanks for providing clarification on FMLA usage! I certainly understand that a staffing issue is created when people call in FMLA 1 hour before a shift starts (I call in no less than 2...

  15. Asked to reduce pointage...weird

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I don't anticipate any long-term usage of the FMLA. There is, however, a possibility that my husband will have to have spinal surgery, so it's hard to say. He had surgery on his arm on 8/30...I took...

    Thank you for your thoughts,

  17. Asked to reduce pointage...weird

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Our floor has mandatory call, so they are probably having to call in the call-person every now and then when I use an FMLA day. I use 2, maybe 3, FMLA days per month and have only needed to use these...

  18. Asked to reduce pointage...weird

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is pretty cool in the way that one still gets benefits at 0.75 FTE. My dream is to reduce my hours someday. I just can't afford it

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

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi Everyone, I really need some advice. My supervisor has lately been ignoring my schedule requests and giving me strange schedules and I think she is trying to "weed me out." I don't know--maybe...

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, J. I appreciate your thoughts. You are right...I do have issues to work on... I am actually working on issues in my life with a professional. I am under an enormous amount of stress outside of...

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

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    1919, I don't think she thinks that because every week we work at least two days together. I will ask her when I talk to her tomorrow, though. Yes, I am frustrated. I feel cornered, trapped, etc. I...

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Evalynn. Great advice. You are so spot-on with a lot of the things you said. Unfortunately, word has already gotten out that I have been looking for a new job...some people know. It stinks...
