  1. Worst potential employer experience ever!!!! Was it ok to call HR and say no thanks?

    NocturneNrse replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not.. You're probably the first person who's had the guts to tell them. Let's just hope the act on that bit of feedback and change things around there.. or it's gonna continue to be a...

  2. dont say nothing at all...

    NocturneNrse replied to purple10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to come to terms with how I deal with the rude comments. Do I let them roll off my back, or is that really just pussing out, when I should really be dishing it back to them. My tolerance...

  3. At what point do I complain?

    NocturneNrse replied to ohmg's topic in General Students

    I too, came from a nursing school that I feel didn't provide me with a good education. I have to agree with the OP.. if you're that close to graduation, and fear and retaliation is the name of the...

  4. I desperately need some advice

    NocturneNrse replied to Sensibility's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I've been there too. Ask your supervisor to give you specific examples, and ways that you can improve. I find that when supervisors DON'T give you help in...

    NocturneNrse replied to LegzRN's topic in General Nursing

    NocturneNrse replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa! I could NEVER do that job. That is flippin' NUTS!!! As a med/surg nurse.. I always had respect for my ED nurses b/c I've seen what they deal with. Wish we could all stop bashing one another...

  7. Hospital or LTC

    NocturneNrse replied to Btj78's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, I started on a Med/Surg/Tele floor. While I did get to experience a lot of different things.. I can't say that I had a lot of time to "learn" the why's and have it stick. I always...

  8. I just got fired... what the hell happened?

    NocturneNrse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok , this came out of left field... at least to ME! I was fired today. Whoa, the reality is setting in now... or is that the wine I'm drinking? UGH. Got called into a meeting w/the supervisor and HR...

  9. My job is killing me.

    NocturneNrse posted a topic in General Nursing

    The title says it all. I started a new job in Feb. as a night supervisor at a local nursing home. I love it, I truly cannot see myself going back to acute care. I love the elderly, and the...

    NocturneNrse replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes.. it's happened to me also. In fact, I'm the one who started this post. The firing was a real shock. Being a supervisor, and having switched shifts without a proper orientation... that's b.s....

  13. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    NocturneNrse replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Just document every interaction you had with her that you felt was inappropriate. And good idea about emailing it to yourself for time/date stamping. Hang in

  14. Terminated from 1st job :(

    NocturneNrse replied to *Blessed2BaNRS*'s topic in General Nursing

    At my old job ... what you'd done would have been done there as well. We were told, that if using restraints, we have to follow the written protocol, and that we had so many hrs until the MD had to...

  16. Hateful, mean nurses

    NocturneNrse replied to CupCakeRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I too have witnessed, and been on the receiving end of bullying nurses. I'm sure many of us have. I don't know WHY they do it, but I do know.. that you have to confront it - let them know that you...

  17. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    NocturneNrse replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    I found that some instructors did favor other students (when I was in nursing school) and did come down VERY HARD on one or two. It's unfair and cruel, and unprofessional. BUT... it's difficult,...

    NocturneNrse replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    NocturneNrse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I may be hired as an RN supervisor in the next week, and am wondering if anyone has some tips that I should be aware of. I've never been supervisor, and am quite nervous. I really don't even know what...

    NocturneNrse replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I agree with your being upset at the truly "in pain" patient having to suffer d/t time being taken by the drug seekers.. I have to say, I feel this new healthcare bill will diminish the quality...
