    NurseExorcist replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Behavior that creates an environment not conducive to work falls into the harassment category. It should immediately be made clear to the person demonstrating the behavior that it is

  4. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    NurseExorcist replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally disagree. Speaking up for yourself immediately shows strength. Ignoring it shows passivity and tolerance of bad

  5. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    NurseExorcist replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The problem with not saying anything at the start is that you train the abuser to continue. It's why "nurses eat their young" is passed on generation after generation. It's wrong. In this case the...

  8. Family Mental Health NP MSN

    NurseExorcist replied to kfitzy89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have the exact same question. There are so many online programs, it is difficult to narrow it down. I wonder if this thread should be under the mental health specialty rather than online

  9. CA Nursing student thinking of relocating to NM after grad?

    NurseExorcist replied to Avill's topic in General Nursing

    I would strongly recommend taking the NCLEX AS SOON AS YOU CAN, wherever you are. The sooner you take it, the more likely you'll pass. If you don't pass, you won't be going anywhere to be a nurse....

  10. new grad rn- can't find a job

    NurseExorcist replied to caitnconr's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Same here! I graduated from my ADN program at 49, I am finishing up my BSN program next month at age 50, and still explaining to people, on a daily basis, why I can't find a job during this "nursing...

  11. Psychiatric nursing... do you really lose all your nursing skills?

    NurseExorcist replied to lilmoongoddess's topic in Psychiatric

    Just to play devil's advocate... you might just fall in love with psych nursing and lose your interest in emergency care. Regardless, go for it, and as others have said, you can always look for a...

  13. New Grad RN California: Where should I relocate for work?

    NurseExorcist replied to CPTjOYjOY's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I did get a job back in February for a SNF with a rehab wing. I split after two weeks, with sparks on my heels. I refuse to work in another SNF or "rehab hospital." A 30:1 ratio of patients is...

  14. Looking broadly while only licensed in one state

    NurseExorcist replied to foreverLaur's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There are whole threads about this, but the bottom line is the obvious answer. Already holding the license for the state in which you are applying is best. It shows them that you are serious about...

    NurseExorcist replied to CPTjOYjOY's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You and are in a very similar position, although I graduated with my ADN in May 2012 and only have one class remaining to complete my BSN. I have applied from coast to coast, in small towns and big...

    NurseExorcist replied to northmississippi's topic in Male Nursing Students

  20. What are some jobs for a male nurse other than bedside care on med/surg floor?

    NurseExorcist replied to northmississippi's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Love the chest hair and testosterone comment. Maybe I haven't gotten a job because I don't have a hairy chest! Now on to the serious part of my response... Getting a psych patient in an acute care...

  21. What are some jobs for a male nurse other than bedside care on med/surg floor?

    NurseExorcist replied to northmississippi's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Get ready. Psych is an even tougher job to get now than a "regular" acute care job. Keep your options open. It's been 18 months since I got licensed and still looking. One class left to finish my...

  22. Stuck Pre-Nursing Student; Feeling Frustrated

    NurseExorcist replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in Southern California, but I have applied from coast to coast. I am in the process of getting a TX license, but I don't think that will help, either. Additionally, I was a hospital CNA, took...
