  9. Is the anti-bully trend going to far?

    jayebug replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, ok, making bullying a sentinel event could be viewed as going a bit overboard, but honestly, I haven't seen much of an improvement lately. So, maybe they need to be ridiculous to get their point...

    jayebug posted a topic in General Nursing

    jayebug replied to lecuruk's topic in Travel

    Hi, I just finished an assignment there. At first I thought everyone was really nice. I have to say that they aren't outwardly hostile towards travel nurses. They seem to accept you as regular staff....

  13. Workplace Bullying-Nursing or 7th Grade?

    jayebug replied to rbs105's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. Ashamed of Disability

    jayebug replied to BeOne77's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Maybe psychiatric nursing isn't such a bad idea. I know you don't want to be reminded of your illness, but there's another side to that-one that maybe you're not considering. With all the stigma...

  17. I signed up for what???

    jayebug posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been a RN for 10 years, and I have to say I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I realize that it's very rare when someone totally looooves their job. I had a professor at college once tell me that it's...

  18. I signed up for what???

    jayebug replied to jayebug's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In reference to those of you who are debating BSN vs. RN, I would look very closely at the BSN programs. A lot of places, at least here on the E. Coast, are making it a requirement. I worked with one...
