    Coworkers tell me to get out while I can

    You should also take into consideration that "floor" nurses will always take issue with management since management is the one who disciplines, enforces policies, leads the unit, etc. AS for the "get...

    Coworker forged my signature...

    RNNPICU replied to sofla98's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe contact HR as she forged your signature. It seems as though this should be taken up higher. You could file a complaint with HR and at least it would be documented. Yikes. Good

    negative coworkers

    RNNPICU replied to lcalhoun's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It isn't about leaving a job, it is about promoting yourself and learning the skills to succeed as a nurse. It will be a transition moving from the role of CNA to nurse. You MAY meet resistance when...

    negative coworkers

    RNNPICU replied to lcalhoun's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It likely is the us and them mentality. You are now going to be one of "them" in their eyes. People tend to have a hard time with promotion, even if you have worked very hard for it. You need to...

    When to hold meds

    RNNPICU replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in First Year After Licensure
