  1. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    gcupid replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    12 hr shifts is one of the best things about being a nurse. My problem is that once individuals from other professions here about working 3 12's they envision their working conditions on an 8 hr...

  2. Management Type

    gcupid replied to enchantmentdis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It has occurred 4x's. How many more times does it take before you realize you dont have to play that game? Instead of being frustrated, you can transfer that stress to your manager. If the manager...

  3. how will you react if you were in my position

    gcupid replied to kantony's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't take criticism personal. We are all human and make mistakes. Forgetting about a patient that needs to be changed is not life & death. The CNA could have just asked another coworker to help...

  7. Too much to do for ONE PERSON, staying late to catch up

    gcupid replied to LaceyRN12's topic in General Nursing

    gcupid replied to AnnaleaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. Did not get the job...looking for feedback

    gcupid replied to delilahgirl's topic in General Nursing

  13. What won't nursing/medicine be doing in 10 years?

    gcupid replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing
