  1. I think my personality is keeping me from finding a job ...please help

    mazy replied to Guest03/15/15's topic in General Nursing

    I would think twice about revealing you have Asperger's right off the bat. It's too competitive out there and however understanding they are they might decide to move on to someone else. But what...

  2. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    mazy replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Some of the topics I have seen on this forum lately make me really sad for the future of this profession: Obese people should be shamed, guilted, denied access to healthcare, and removed from their...

  3. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    mazy replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow. Kind of a threatening tone to that post. So the lack of nursing jobs is the fault of experienced nurses who won't step aside for new grads? Now on top of everything nurses have to do to advocate...

  4. LTC new nurse burnt out!

    mazy replied to mkahnlpn's topic in General Nursing

    You could be the best, most amazing nurse in the world and still not be able to work in a bad facility. In fact, the better and more dedicated you are to doing a good job, the less likely you will be...

  5. How can an rn with no nursing experience be a supervisor

    mazy replied to mozella's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Absolutely true and well said. Also would like to add that very often facilities do not explain clearly to new grads that they are going to be in charge so they come in brand new and up to their ears...

  6. Is it me or just the nursing home I'm working in

    mazy replied to soon2begrad2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not you, it's typical for LTC. A lot of that paperwork stuff gets so ingrained in people over time that they forget what it's like coming in from the ouside and not knowing how to do it. Also, no one...

  7. You know it's going to be a crazy night at work, when

    mazy replied to JennRN65's topic in General Nursing

    When you get report on a new admit and the first thing the reporting nurse says is "family is very involved." And of course "state is here." Full moon. I recently had all three

  8. This forum is scaring me!

    mazy replied to Laurel32's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a profession that suits my skills, personality, and interests so I feel like I'm willing to put up with just about anything to be able to do it. It's my second career so I know what's out...

  9. LTC is not "settling"

    mazy replied to joanna73's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I started off in skilled and LTC and initially thought I was settling until I got out into the job and realized how complex my patients were and how many strong nursing skills I would need. I later...

  10. What your mind does when you let it wander.

    mazy replied to Dempather's topic in Emergency

    I actually think you've put together a great list there, not crazy at all. Those would be great points (especially the ones about your mindset while on the job) to bring up in an interview. For me...

  11. Problems with therapy staff......?????

    mazy replied to lpnwkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Some good advice here. I always discourage talk about "favorite" patients (even if I have some) by saying "all my patients are my favorites" or something along those lines, or even a flat out "I don't...

  12. Nurses, it's time to harden up

    mazy replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Pragmatic says "why did you get such a big glass?":cool: Optimism is nice, I'm all for optimism. But it seems you are trying to apply a point of view about how you live your personal life to things...

  13. What are some of the dumbest things you've seen or heard from another nurse at work

    mazy replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    gulp. my first week as a nurse i said that. to myself, thankfully. the narc box issue is kind of scary. i hope management is aware of

  14. Student Loan Defaulters ONLY

    mazy replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    You're not a bad person, millions of people in this country are going through what you are going through. But you cannot default on a student loan, even through bankruptcy, and if you put money aside...

  15. Sometimes our patients try to help us out....

    mazy replied to JacknSweetpea's topic in Nursing Humor

    That's so sweet. She tried to give you the gift of

  16. Private LVN Programs

    mazy replied to Kskinner's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to make a suggestion that it might be worth considering to get on a waiting list for a cheaper school. They may say it's 3 or 4 years, but a lot of people drop off the list over time and...

  17. Whad I do -- Whad I do??

    mazy replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You have a good work ethic if you didn't want to pass this off to the night shift so I understand your concerns. However, I also understand the LPN's concern about getting her insulins done. For you...

  18. help! resigning from an unsafe facility after working only a couple weeks

    mazy replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've left a couple of jobs within the probationary period and did not list them. Never had a problem. If you are worried about this coming up on a background check I would say that you wait until the...

  19. Am I in trouble?

    mazy replied to nursiestariray's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is a huge deal, other than that the wife is ticked off...if it were to come back on anyone it would probably be a previous shift or anyone who had done oral care on him. Shouldn't...

  20. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    mazy replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Nurse with Body Odor

    mazy replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I would be horribly upset and embarrassed if I got a note -- anonymous or otherwise. I'd end up going into work every day wondering who sent it, being paranoid about other people talking about me, and...

  22. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    mazy replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    A facility that hires a new grad into a charge position doesn't care about the patients or the nurses. Unfortunately, I have seen it happen many times, a new RN gets hired, genuinely interessted in...

  23. LTC job from hell! Are they all like this?

    mazy replied to resilientnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LTC can be bad but that place sounds like a whole new level of bad. There is so much going on that is wrong in that facility I wouldn't even know where to start, other than that getting out sounds...

  24. Bummed out

    mazy replied to chris1969's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Job postings are not a good indicator of what's available in the market. I compulsively apply for jobs (currently juggling 3 part time jobs) and spend a lot of time online looking at job sites. I've...

  25. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    mazy replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    You can never know the full story about what is going on with another person. If she failed because of one question she was already hanging on by a thread. There is more to this story than meets the...
