  1. Unions

    Are any nurses in unions? Does it do any good? Are they treated any better? Just curious.
  2. The only thing I have noticed is that it is very annoying and quite rude in my opinion if you are only person who does not speak their language sitting at the table and they have a conversation you can not understand.
  3. nurses with anxiety and depression

    See I feel that if you have a good boss they would want to know how their employee is doing? Especially if you feel it is affecting your work. But I have heard you should never tell your boss about your personal issues. I am a very personable per...
  4. LOL Story of my life. I have had 4 days off now I am worried what I will have done wrong when I get there. It seems every time I have time off I come back to have done something wrong. Anxiously waiting to get through tomorrow.
  5. Have had 4 days off now anxious

    I was speaking to my sister about why I constantly feel anxious to go to work and feel like I am about to be fired. I think she made a good point. It is a conditioned response. Everytime I have been written up, I had NO warning had been off for a ...
  6. Would they appreciate it or make you look weak? I am talking anxiety that is affecting you at home
  7. nurses with anxiety and depression

    I have been told for 15 year that I had depression and anxiety. I never believed it. After my daughter was born 4 yrs ago, it got really really bad. To a point where I could not be a good mom with it. Up until then I could handle it, although ro...
  8. i feel and have felt that i and other "new" nurses are scape goats for management. here is the looong story!! i worked a double yesterday. all was well. i have worked there not quite a year but close. half way through my day i get 3 new admits. ...
  9. nurses with anxiety and depression

    I am a nurse and I do have both issues. My depression is controlled, but I have to say that my anxiety has gotten worse as a nurse. It is about treatment, and if your superiors are willing to work with you, unbiased, you will do just fine. I do no...
  10. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    excellent point!!! I am writing up a statement today to add. I just hope they are NOT trying to get rid of me.
  11. Your experience with being written up

    Well I have 3 write ups. I did question about them to the DON, she said the reason we HAVE to write you up for the skin is because if the state comes in we have to have a trail of what happened and what we did. As far as the coumadin, my mgr said it...
  12. I am wondering what your experience has been with write ups. How many do you get before being fired? Here is my story. I feel like I have no job security. and this is making me crazy. I have been employed at this place for 6 months, with NO verbal w...
  13. xanax use

    I do not do drugs, I however just started taking xanax prn, which is like 3-5 pills a week. I am having some serious anxiety. I want to get a contingent job but wondering if that will show up in a drug test and I will fail.
  14. Wages

    yes i make great money. I work in LTC
  15. Your experience with being written up

    wow that really sucks for me. I was told that the coumadin one was because they had to have it in writing in case the state looks at it. So what should I do? I have already told them that I like my job, and am willing to do what it takes to be a g...
  16. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    well here is the update.....I have had two talkings with DON and mgr. Mgr talked to the next day nurse who is a awesome experienced nurse whom did the skin assessment, and did NOT SEE THE WOUND. The mgr and don said the write up stays because she c...
  17. I am just curious on how often is too often to switch places you work. I have been in nursing for 14 months and have worked 2 places. I know nurses that have worked 5 plus in that amount of time. Doesnt that say something? I want to get a contingent...
  18. Wages

    I have been an LPN for 14 months. We dont have shift diffs. OUr yearly are very low however. I think the max is .30 year raise. This is the second facility I have worked at and I got a 5.00 raise when I came to this one. I was awesome.
  19. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    great advice, thank you
  20. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    I have a problem with it also. I mean this particularly isnt an isssue but it could be if they were to do it to other documents. I have not decided yet as to what if anything I will do about it.
  21. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    Yes the mgr did change my braden scale numbers, clearly. I am going to try and be firm when I talk to her but I get all nervous and tongue tied. I am going to work on it. I also spoke to the nurse that was on the next am shift who did the skin ass...
  22. I love the "nursing" part of it. I hate the red tape, the favorite list of employees. I have been a nurse for 14 months and feel I still haven't figured it all out. I am a sensitive people pleaser and hate conflict with employee or boss. I can de...
  23. Will nursing always have all the BS

    So then how have you guys found how the best way to cope it?
  24. LPN magazines

    that is exactly why I want to get something, to stay updated. I subscribed to the advance one.
  25. LPN magazines

    What if any are the best for the buck. Would a nursing mag be just as good or should I stick with LPN since that is what I am. Also, if there is anyone out there that would be willing to sell old already mag(nursing) I would be very interested.
