I know I should expect this as I am in nursing but it's driving me insane. I am constantly being asked to work extra. They message and/or call while I'm at work and while I'm at home. Granted, my job isn't that difficult as it's home care but it is ...

Hi, just wanted to vent first. I am trying to transfer my license to Ga. Every time I call them with a question, I am put on hold from 30min to an hour. I'm trying to get my questions organized so I don't need to call them back but Grrrrr.... Just ha...

Thanks so much everyone. I just replied to my DON that I have too much going on in November and I can't pick up any extra days. I already picked up a 8 hours last month and few the month before. I'm tired. Even working my regular hours I am so tired.

Here's one link. https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/dangers-discussing-pay-coworkers But, if you, yourself, want to discuss your salary to other co-workers than by all means go ahead. Just don't expect the same in return.

Is it awful that I don't want to work any extra days in November?

Discussing salaries between co-workers is always a no, no even if your the best of work buddies. It's unprofessional and can stir the pot, so to speak. Keep your salary to yourself. I did work at a job where everyone knew what everyone made because ...

I accepted a new job offer. After handing in my resignation my current employer is planning a meeting with me later to discuss my pay. Have any of you ever accepted a counter-offer and stayed with your current employer? I have always read that this i...

I was just diagnosed with pnumonia and my MD stated that he didn't think I should return to work for 4 days. I guess I am feeling guilty but am still hurting when I inhale and especially cough. It gets worse when I move around. I know I shouldn't fee...

I am trying to transfer my license to GA. Do you have to get fingerprinted as part of the application process. It's 14 pages of pure headache but I haven't seen where you need to get your fingerprints done, just sign for a background check. Also, on...

I know I'm going to get bashed for this, but really...what is so horrible about pre-pulling medicatons? I'm not talking about a hospital setting where you have different patients on a daily basis. I'm talking about a setting where the patients get th...

I just started a new job a month ago, and one senior co-worker is outright mean. I do not want to divulge details about where I work but it is in a doctors office setting. I don't know if I am just losing my mind, being too sensitive, or if this is ...

Nutella (love your sn by the way), you hit the nail right on the head. She does get the job done. I LOVE your rational approach to my situation. You have me looking at it in a totally different light. A more logical instead of emotional light. At my...

Sorry I just woke up. I get what your saying. Meet her in a private place at work. That will be hard to do because of how fast paced our job is. After its time for us to leave, they literally run out the door. I might talk to her and ask her if ...

Emergent you Crack me up. Thanks for making me smile. I needed that! Thanks to those who responded. Meet her outside of work? Oh goodness. I'm going to have to pray on that one. I know that would be beneficial. I'm just not sure she would agree to...

I would also like to add that I am a very sweet person (and that is also my downfall). One of my nursing instructors back in nursing school gave me very constructive criticism that If I'm not careful, I will be walked all over in my career. I am pe...

Thank you so much TrickyTrev for your valuable insight!

I start my first day in a few days am I am so nervous! Does anyone have any advice or care to share how you like your job? Thanks.

I'm sure you've made up your mind by now but here is my 2 cents for what it is worth. It's fairly simple yet logical. Nothing beats happiness. I know the extra money is important but have you really calculated all your expenses to see if you could ...

Hi everyone. I need help. A Valium was discovered 1 pill short during our narcotic count. I am prescribed Xanax and Klonopin. During the outside lab urine drug test, I tried give the lab my prescription. They nonchalantly said, "If it comes back p...

Jules A... I know this! It was my primary care doctor and I am tapering off on my own with my doctors knowledge. I have stopped seeing that primary care doctor and am now seeing a psychiatrist. My anxiety is debilitating.

Thank you so much! I haven't had much experience wiith drug tests. This is a breath of fresh air though.

I recently got a request from an acquantence that said I should come apply where she works...Blue Cross (they are hiring for 3 LPNs). What is it like? Please be descriptive...the good, the bad, and the ugly. She stated that she would be working ...

Hi everyone, I was thinking about bridging from LPN to RN through Excelsior but when I was in the process of getting my LPN License in another State, I thoroughly read the terms/conditions. My state does not accept a degree from Excelsior. Why is th...

I had worked at a job I hated for 5 years but the pay and benefits is what kept me there. I was making $5 more an hour than I am now. The high paying job was very stressful so I decreased my hours from 40 hours a week to 32 hours a week. I thought th...

Hi everyone, I got a job offer today to work in a Methadone Clinic. Due to the high volume of applicants and their need to fill the position quick they told me that I must make my decision tomorrow. Talk about being nervous. I do love my current j...
