    klone replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    Well, there you go. You were insubordinate. And by saying "It's your job to find the staff to cover the ward" the manager found that rude and unprofessional (and yeah, it does kinda sound rude and...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    klone replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    People who do a *** job need to either step up their game or get out. Thing is, I know plenty of nurses for whom nursing is a “calling” and do it for their love of Florence Nightingale and blah...

    klone replied to Adri1992's topic in General Nursing

    I understand you’re anxious. But if she told you that she was going to be out until mid-April, that was her way of saying not to freak out if you don’t hear anything before

    klone replied to NurseMal09's topic in Nurse Management

    I'm assuming you want to work 12s so that you will only have to be there 3 days a week? Facilities typically want management there 5 days a week. Also, typically management is salaried, rather than...
