  1. Can't let it go!

    underpaidrn replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd far rather be a nurse than asking "Would you like fries with that?" Be proud of your decision. Nursing is not for the faint of heart and those that question it don't understand it. Proud of you...

    underpaidrn replied to Cat1981England's topic in General Nursing

    I have had many patients over the years that at the end turned toward religion. I have found clergy for these people since they did not attend an organized church. Most of the time, I would use the...

  3. Newly hired LPN is making more money!!!!

    underpaidrn replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a former administrator, the first question I would ask is where did you get this information? If your p & p manual states that discussing salaries is a no-no, then you will have to be...

    underpaidrn replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Blackcat99: Be careful about approaching the administrator. Discussing salaries is usually a very big no-no and can sometimes be grounds for dismissal. Read your policies and procedures before...

  5. If the backstabber tells you what you did and informs managment, is that backstabbing

    underpaidrn replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    You stated that you have been reported many times in the past and lost jobs because of it. It seems to be a pattern for you. Perhaps you need to stop and take some time to see how you present...

  8. Turned in notice

    underpaidrn replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that you had this experience. The fact that you had no one in the chain of command to back you up is just horrifying. You should not have been treated as such. I know what it's like....

  9. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    underpaidrn replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Working in home health, I have had many experiences, some funny, some sad. Anyone who has ever filled out an OASIS form knows how tedious this can be. I was asking one patient if he had cataracts...

  10. lazy mean assistants

    underpaidrn replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I have never had a problem with any of the CNAs that I have worked with. I am respectful of them and they of me. They know that I am their supervisor and that they need to do what I ask. I do not...

  13. Anybody Do Volunteer Fire?

    underpaidrn replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it. I was a volunteer firefighter and EMT for about 10 years. I really loved it. I worked hard and the guys gave me no slack because I was a female. I had to prove myself, perhaps a bit...

  14. Feeling Guilty -- Need Advice

    underpaidrn replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. Just remember that people grieve differently and at different times. I know that you will always remember this event. Just use that to your own...
