    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    People have a right to their beliefs, absolutely. I would never argue that. But maybe they ought to choose not to work in a place where a 24/7 commitment to work is at odds with them. JMO. There ARE...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am being unclear. I am not annoyed with the NURSE as much as the situation. The nurse could be a better team player. She took a job, knowing it was a 24/7 unit where weekend working was a...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    The bold part is wrong. They became her "problem and her business" when she started to have to work short-staffed because this nurse refused to work Saturdays. As I said in another post, this nurse...

    Can I be a nurse with my condition?

    New Grad, Can't Get Hired?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Justineqt's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In most places, nursing homes are usually hiring. I have worked in one myself. Think outside the box. Also consider moving if you can, to an area less saturated with new

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a lot of resent toward the individual nurse as much as toward the situation which is unfair and untenable. WHY should everyone else have to pick up the slack because this person cannot...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    If I could, I would get out. It sounds very unfair and unless similar fairness is shown to all staff (which it won't) you will be forever

    Bullies

    SmilingBluEyes replied to dream'n's topic in School

    I was bullied mercilessly from 6th to 8th grades and considered suicide myself many times. I honestly don't know what got me through it all. My parents never knew how I felt because when I tried to...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am sorta bent cause they went out of their way to gift our secretaries with flowers and gift cards yet the nurses did not even get a cookie. It really makes one feel a bit unappreciated. I...

    What Can I Do With A BSN? (Without a license).

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Chloe Price's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much nothing. If you are "defeated" that is on you. If you give up this easily, nursing isn't for you. Keep trying, keep fighting. Nursing isn't easy; it should not be. If you work hard enough,...

    My co-worker hates me for doing my job.

    SmilingBluEyes replied to KwowRn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I find the coworker's behavior pretty suspicious myself. She was very hostile for no good reason. I would keep my back to the wall and my eyes on this one. I think something rotten is going

    Worried about Bullying

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Amethya's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just be yourself, your authentic self. Try not to anticipate bullying, or expect it. Sometimes our energy we put out brings negative things back to us. Just be positive and helpful and real. It will...
