  1. Sad story of an ex-new grad nurse

    Conqueror+ replied to furelite's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well the #$%^& in me rose up while reading this and I don't even see her on a yearly basis anymore. He is basically bullying you into letting him do whatever he wants by threatening you with...

  2. Weed and work.

    Conqueror+ replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I was told at my last job with a huge national company that they were a drug free workplace and that I would be exected to sign an acknowledgment to that effect upon hire and annually. I signed fully...

  3. Visitors on Working Days

    Conqueror+ replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    You probably won't believe this but he is telling you that he does not consider how his actions affect you. He is also selfish. If you marry him it will get worse. This is the same guy that will leave...

  4. problem with my DON, help!

    Conqueror+ replied to nurseredd's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    None of these people do your evals or have the power to terminate you. I have seen this a lot in 20+ years. He will start to write you up until he has a paper trail that leads out of the front door. I...

  5. ethical dilema

    Conqueror+ replied to badcompany's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just make sure that your help does not become an expectation. I used to help as well but when I was too busy with my own work to help out, the aides got upset. I do what I can when I can but I stay...

  6. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    Conqueror+ replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    I have left a job because of a bad schedule. Sometimes a manager will do that to you on purpose to edge you out. If you leave on your own it doesn't look as though they have done anything

  7. New Nurse With Large Disposable Income

    Conqueror+ replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No but BSN prepared nurses have the HIGHEST pass rate for the NCLEX. I think its around 88% for first time takers so it is far more likely that she will pass. What kind of winner goes around thinking...

  8. New Nurse With Large Disposable Income

    Conqueror+ replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I too had a paying job that I was on for a month before I took my NCLEX. I needed the money badly so test day was a nightmare for me. I worked peritoneal dialysis with a private physician group so...

  9. New Nurse With Large Disposable Income

    Conqueror+ replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not prickly by nature but I did feel like the one poster came down on OP like a negative ton of bricks for trying to be optimistic and proactive. I know a lot of young people who don't give a...

  10. Jealous Friends...

    Conqueror+ replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    Nonsense. BSN prepared nurses get a full 15 cents more per hour in my market so

  11. Jealous Friends...

    Conqueror+ replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    I have had what I call the "lottery attitude" from lazy family members. They act as if I went to the mailbox one day and my license was in there with a note from Ed McMahon. They say how they're CNA's...

  12. My DON came to my house today

    Conqueror+ replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This works if you live in a big city with 100 places to work. Do this in a small town where everyone is related by blood or marriage and it is career

  13. My DON came to my house today

    Conqueror+ replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Praise the lord and pass the ammunition she would show up on my doorstep exactly ONE

  14. Question about weekend schedules

    Conqueror+ replied to melc0305's topic in General Nursing

    I work 12 hr nights and every other weekend BUT I am off Wed/Thu/Fri before my weekend and Mon/Tue/Wed after it. F/S/S would suck big

  15. Educational Advertising at a for-profit program, what the?????

    Conqueror+ replied to LobotRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't get past the "host". She sounded like she had marbles in her mouth. But hey, check out our fridges

  16. Many of my colleagues are raising their grandkids

    Conqueror+ replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my extended family it was a result of parents raising their children with every toy, fashion, gadget etc... and not even requiring a chore in return. When these children grew up and had children,...

  17. Should I Wear this to Work?

    Conqueror+ replied to lilgop's topic in General Nursing

    It's up to you but know that if a pushy patient isn't easily redirected by saying let's talk about you, any verbal scrape that occurs will result in your being in the wrong. Admin always has 100...

  18. Lose your license for administering a PRN med without a pain scale?

    Conqueror+ replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I would think you would get into more trouble for leaving a patient writhing in pain but...maybe that's just

  19. I'm leaving floor nursing...

    Conqueror+ replied to newbieRN2012's topic in General Nursing

    Not being a downer but you just might for different reasons. When you see an eight year old lose BOTH parents to cancer over two years it can be almost unbearable. When your patients are 98 with 14...

  20. My GPA is trash. What to do now?

    Conqueror+ replied to wpm7231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could: 1. Go to a for profit school that takes everyone 2. Find a school that only counts the last XX credits into your GPA 3. Find a school that only uses you nursing pre-reqs to determine...

  21. Weeding Out the Weak?

    Conqueror+ replied to Ajcapri's topic in General Students

    Is it really hours ? I'm having a hard time believing that. I have always been one to work hard and keep my head down but I would say complain. My daycare charges $1 per minute if you are

  22. Placed on administrative leave, reason unknown

    Conqueror+ replied to TurtleN84's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient complains about a roomate the complainer is moved. We also apply that standard to employees. If you are the one who is to the point that you cannot work with the other person, we don't do...

  23. I am a real nurse

    Conqueror+ replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    If you were in Leon County probably so. I am a pretty tough girl and that is the only time that a pt has actually scared me. Two years after that incident he beat a fellow homeless guy to death with...

  24. I am a real nurse

    Conqueror+ replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    Well I have worked IP psych. It doesn't get any realer than a 6'5" 350 pound guy with psychosis threatening to kill you and MEANING IT. Just my .02

  25. Frugality thead:work less, spend less

    Conqueror+ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing
