    What kind of little "Thanks" does your hospital give, or are they too cheap?

    Interviewing while pregnant

    xoemmylouox replied to cyb3rRN's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt anyone will hire you of you are showing. They won't admit that is why if course. Don't give up though. My work hired a manager who was about 4 months along. Good luck!

    I have to say Peds is a tough specialty to get into, same as OB, ICU, ER, etc. Good luck, and I'm glad you are feeling better than

    Rumors of Merger

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is we don't know if this would be a bad or a good thing. Our staffing has been cut to bare bones and to be honest the most recent hires are next to worthless. Our hours and benefits have...

    How do I deal with inappropriate behaviour from my Manager?

    xoemmylouox replied to BNRN89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a manager in another dept. who LOVES to instigate. She can't stand it unless there is conflict. I believe it is a way to disctract from her poor management skills. It's a pathetic way to...

    I hate my job and I can't get out.

    xoemmylouox replied to ewrn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the middle aged adult (especially males) are the ones who are often left out with no assitance. Prior to getting married my husband was in that position. He qualified for nothing and has...

    xoemmylouox replied to ewrn's topic in General Nursing

    Being on a waiting list sure beats not getting the surgery at all. How many people are uninsured or underinsured here in the U.S.? How many people go without preventative care everyday? Canada's...

    You helped save a life. You applied pressure which is key in this sort of injury. Your risk is low, but I would still contact your PCP and let them

    xoemmylouox replied to sjerseymom's topic in Health, Stress Management

    xoemmylouox replied to ewrn's topic in General Nursing

    Unions hold employers in check, or at least are there to provide some support. At my work if you even mention the word union they'll fire you. I have always worked in pro employer states who take...

    xoemmylouox replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have to say that when I worked in an LTAC our R/T was wonderful. They were just as short staffed and over worked as we were. Despite this they would drop everything if there was an emergency or if I...
