  1. I can't sleep!

    incublissRN replied to incublissRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. I decided to call in. I'm afraid I'd make a med error. My sleeping schedule is all wrong...the longer I work nights the worse it gets! I need to straighten it out pronto....

  5. CRH or Schneck Medical Center

    incublissRN replied to heedy11's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The new NM was rude to me several times. They hired new grads through the magnet orientation program I believe. So say what you will, I still believe I was treated rudely and unfairly. By the way, I...

  6. Baths on night shift?

    incublissRN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in MICU, SICU

    I usually bathe my vented and sedated or confused patients. There is no way I'm waking up an alert and oriented person for a bath. Usually they want to get as much sleep as they can and the mornings...

  7. Nursing, not as rewarding as I thought...

    incublissRN replied to Wen83's topic in General Nursing

    Does your hospital offer an employee assistance program? If so, consider going to a counselor to evaluate your feelings. I had similar feelings after I graduated. I wanted to sleep all the time,...

  9. CRH or Schneck Medical Center

    incublissRN replied to heedy11's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I worked at CRH on the progressive care unit for 4 years while I went to school. When I graduated a new manager was hired and many of the staff was leaving due to burn out. I wanted to transfer to the...

  10. Does your hospital have merit raises? Annual Raises?

    incublissRN replied to qt314nf's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working at my hospital for a year and I should receive a raise soon. I think we get a 3% annual raise and a merit raise, although I don't know how much it is

  15. Short Staffed - Vent

    incublissRN replied to incublissRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Does someone have to get hurt before they offer bonuses and get more staff?? It's ridiculous. All night long I had this sick feeling in my stomach. I think some experienced nurses are going to...
