    Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    agencynurse_rn replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    See what you can get out of knowing at least one of the study group people one-on-one. They literally can't all be unlikable. If that is TRUE, you may have a hard time fitting in with different people...

    Frustrated with Hospital Disregard for RN and Patient Safety

    agencynurse_rn replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Please get out of your current work situation. Self-care is important, so take the time to do some. Research your future job, policies, procedures, and level of happiness of the co-workers. PRO...

    How would you deal with a nurse who is struggling to show up to work on time?

    agencynurse_rn replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Traveling-sooner or later?

    agencynurse_rn replied to Mojojojo05's topic in General Nursing

    Girl, just do what's best for you. In the end hospitals don't owe you any loyalty. They are a business. Handle your own business and go make the money in travel nursing. Like you said, if you are...

    1 nurse 1 patient on a floor?

    agencynurse_rn replied to rnsteph87's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not sure about the laws in Mississippi regarding this, but in a unionized hospital this would not be allowed. The nurse is entitled to breaks (bathroom/meals) and would need to be covered when away...

    The Sneak Thief of Sight

    agencynurse_rn replied to J.Adderton's topic in Patient Education

    Help with a resume for a new graduate nurse

    agencynurse_rn replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    Why does every unit have a princess?

    agencynurse_rn replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My answer to this question would be: For the same reason every unit seems to have a general or a tyrant. That is because nursing would suck without the drama they bring.

    Questions to ask during a peer interview?

    agencynurse_rn replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in General Nursing

    agencynurse_rn replied to Stella197's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not enjoying your work environment, but like your Nursing job, consider transferring to another area in the hospital, or going to another hospital completely. You'll eventually find a...

    Don't let nursing career feel like a laundry list

    agencynurse_rn replied to awakenthepassion's topic in General Nursing
