I'm sexy and I know it! VT247

I'm sure a lot more people would leave nursing if they weren't buried in debt. See it all to often. New nurse, excited to be in their new position, goes out and buys a new car, new house, and other big ticket items. Great! If that makes you happy. But how many hours are they going to have to work to pay it off? Moral of this story, don't go in debt. VT247

I'm not asking any questions. See a cell phone out with a no cell phone policy, it goes under the DON door. It must be lost. VT247

If you're to lazy to clean up after yourself, don't get mad when I do it for you. Case in point. Every day I'd come into work, the break room was a mess from the last shift. Food, drinks, perfume, nail polish, phone cords, you name it, it was thrown everywhere. Tell them to clean it up. They never did and would leave what they didn't take in a stinking cluttered disaster. So finally I'd had enough. "I'm going to clean as soon as I get here, so it'd better be clean or else it's all getting thrown away" No one listened, it was the same. So, EVERYTHING got tossed in the trash. No name, no date, TRASH! Oh they HATED me for that! But on a positive note things did improve. My favorite piece of clutter is the cell phone. Everyone knows they are NOT supposed to have their cell phone out during working hours. Find one, put a note on it saying "found at nurses station", then slide it under the Nursing Supervisors door.

Someone who calls off work after already being 20 minutes late. A coworker that sits behind the desk on their tablet but doesn't answer the phone. A person who isn't afraid to take the last copy or supply without making copies or resupplying. A brave soul who has no brain to mouth filter. Ideally that person will be late from their lunch break by 20-30 minutes routinely. This person should also never clean up after themselves or anyone else, ever. Insanely irate behaviour with profound cussing. Foul odor is a must. Should always borrow things and not return them. Treats everyone equally bad. A horribly wretched vile human being capable of destroying anyone in their path.

What is this 'lunch break' you speak of? VT247

"Be patient, you're going to have to wait." Sometimes, you have to be firm and take control of the situation. VT247

DON'T DO IT! Wish someone had told me this before I went through with it. You will hate it. Become a CNA, HHA or tech first and do that for 6-8 months @40hrs a week. Observe the nurses you work with. They look happy? After the 6-8 month trial run are you happy? Hope this message doesn't fall on deaf ears. VT247

Where I am now, it's management for sure. Get out on time and get all your work done is the rhetoric from management. To many people to take care of (like 20+) and not enough people scheduled to work. Management decides we don't need that much help scheduled. Works out great when someone calls off too (like everyday on every shift) which equates to even less help. Oh, and by the way, here's more work we need you to get done. Sorry ya lazy sonsabiotches, I'm gonna get all my work done THEN clock out. Don't like it, then come and help us on the floor. What's that? You're not gonna help? Then shut up and get out my face! If I have admits, /\ in condition, orders coming out my orifice, or any of a 1k other incidents that seems to happen, I'm finishing up my work before I go home. No dumping allowed. But before I sit down to do that mountain of paperwork, the people are going to be taken care of. Swear I'm not a bitter person, but dayum. It's dayumed it ya do and dayumed if ya don't! Oh and, would you like to work a double shift tomorrow? VT247

Honestly, I never had any real desire to become a nurse. Shame on me, yes I know. Just wanted another way to earn a living. That make me a bad person? I don't believe so. Made a logical decision at the time to go through the program. Took 9 months after graduation to take the NCLEX, last in the class. However, everyday the people I'm assigned to are cared for to the best of my ability. Not having the "calling" does not make a person a less compasionate nurse. It sure changed my life. Famous Quotes: *Only a life lived for others is a life worthwile. *A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. *Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. - - - - Albert Einstein VT247
