Bullies are relentless. So lets say you won't allow yourself to be bullied, so now they go after your job and get you fired. Try going up against a nurse that has 10 years exp with the same organization and you are a recent hire or less than 2 year...

Give him a kiss, a hug and get the Out... if a mistake happens, you'd be highly upset and want to sue.

Why such low pay for RN's when revenue is billions of dollars a year?

While I'd be the first to agree with this statement of needing nurse patient ratio laws across the U.S, I vehemently disagree with the notion that the entire State of California gives their patients a higher quality of care in comparison to all other...

Dont do it..If you do so, aim for Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner. Do not even take a break. When you graduate do RN work full time for 6 months and then go part time and go to school part time.

just turn in PALS and continue to live life. It's not worth worrying about. I'd say I enjoy working here but unfortunately forgot to renew my PALS or mistaken the actual date it would expire. If you are fired Enjoy the time off and look for someth...

After hearing my voice over the phone, interviewer tone changes up, rushes to get off phone by interrupting answer with I'm seeing that your resume shows that you are under qualified for the position. I redirected the nurse by telling her that I don...

To be honest, I've noticed a decline in these antics but has anyone witnessed facilities where most of the medsurg/telemetry nurses are majority black and all the prestigious specialties have majority whites (Trauma ICU, etc)? And you better believe...

In my experience, neither working in a diverse group nor serving a diverse population automatically deem one uniquely endowed as being more culturally competent.

I agree and hopefully i dont come as being too rude or mean but I also sense a lack of taking responsibility for her circumstances. Im glad you are taking back your power and doing what YOU want to do..

More men=better working conditions. more money, more respect from administration, patients, doctors, and family members. More power, less abuse and bullying.

And dont you just love double & triple charting the same things in different spots??? and sometimes management doesnt even audit the extra charting..

We should have the power to say no and not have the threat of losing your job on the line.

If the huge state of California can implement change, I'm pretty sure that Massachusettes/Minnesota (whatever state) can handle it too. Institutions should allow for a phasing in process, if there is concern for meeting expectations. Rome wasn't bui...

Originator of thread sounds highly emotional & sensitive. There's not one person on this thread who doesn't have a problem or some type of insecurity. You have some control over your life. Instead of being the victim all the time, accept respons...

Get a massage, some wine/chocolate/ice cream. Take some pressure off of yourself & really think about how good you have it compared to others that are less fortunate. Im pretty sure you make more money than the avg person. I bet you've taken care...

for the amount of responsibility & knowledge base no full time np should make less than 135k. No full time Rn

I respectfully disagree with other professionals. Jealousy can't be 100% ruled out just bc a nurse is more experienced. If you are generally more beautiful than the average nurse that can be an issue in a setting of women I've worked with in the past...

While I agree it may be impractical, can we at least both agree also that the BON should be more readily available and tangible asap when gray areas in practice ensue. For the nightshift nurse that is being bullied into doing a task who has 2 kids to...

If the BON is clearly here to protect the public.... Shouldn't there be clear cut tasks listed so that the nurses maintain practice within their designated safe guidelines? Also, shouldn't the excuse of changes in healthcare be more of an argument f...

welcome to nursing...

they should have floated the other nurse because at least she knew about adult nursing and would feel comfortable. The hospital should have offered her more incentive to work in that area. I'm sorry that you had to go threw this. I would admonish t...

which is a shame....there need's to be a stop to ridiculousness. Do they believe a new grad bsn overrides there years of experience? Leave them nurses alone. That is a time in life you should be relaxing or doing things you want to do or helping you...

"I do not want to see staff sitting around because there is nothing to do." Are you serious? The last 12hr shift I worked I was running back and forth like a chicken with my head cut off from 7 to about 3:30. I made myself take a seat for 10 min and...

welcome to nsg LoL! Complete foolishness! I bet her directing self wouldnt have taken him out of restraints if she had to take care of him. :)
