Let me preface this entry by saying that I am trying to be vague deliberately, as I am a little on the paranoid side of certain people figuring out who I am. I will try to be as succinct as I can,...
Hello, I am interesting in starting a new career in HH - any advice? What do you love about it? What do you hate about it? How's the salary? I have 20+ years of m/s experience. Do you think I...

Well, when there is so much talk about rationing healthcare, even potentially initiating a "duty to die" for our elderly, I have a bigtime problem with the baby-making machines. No, we need to attack...
Wow. What a great, down-to-earth post. I'm not a new nurse, but I'm definitely not seasoned either. I've also had more than my fair share of difficulties in this field. But I'm gearing up to give...

I was absolutely sickened after reading your post. It is disgusting how poorly nurses are treated, just discarded like yesterday's garbage. Believe me, I know! As for myself, I am only on this site...
I'm so sorry you had to go through this pain, but glad you overcame. You described this profession perfectly...chews people up and then spits them out. One really doesn't have a choice but to...
Hi, Does anyone know what some of the potential consequences are/could be in this scenario: An RN working at a doctor's office is not feeling well and does something totally out of character - charts...
I figured you all might need more info. I was trying to be generic, but I guess I will go ahead and disclose the details... An RN was working in a doctor's office in their coumadin clinic and the...

I am so sorry you are going through this, as I can sympathize all too well. I just recently got away from a place where a lot of cliquey stuff was going on and also dealing with a supervisor who just...
Wow - another fantastic post with great info. Thank you!! I actually have been considering doing just that - using a reference check service to put these worries to rest once and for all. I need to...
Thank you for sharing that TamNurse. It's good to hear that people can actually recover from this and move on with their lives. Also, I really hadn't considered looking at it from the angle you...
Ha Ha :) You're funny. I'm sorry for wording it that way. It was rather presumptous. I shoulda just left it at "I highly suspect that she was jealous of something I have in my personal life"....
Now that's the first time I've heard that course of action advised. I like it - thank you. That's just it...I just want to move forward, not feeling like I have to settle for another crappy job or...
That is sooo awesome Valerie! *Thank you* for sharing that!!! Definitely the kind of thing I need to hear!! If you don't mind me asking...what have you said on applications/interviews about the...
Mudwoman, You could not be more right about not waiting to be fired next time. I really sorta knew it was leading up to this for a while. Honestly, they just "beat me to the punch" by a week or 2,...
Yes, yes...I did try the tactic of asking her opinions on how to handle things, etc. expressly for the purpose of hoping to have the effect of her feeling like "the knowledgeable, go-to one". Maybe I...
Whodunit, Thank you so very much for taking the time to share that with me. I really needed to hear how other nurses who have gone through this have dealt with it and the outcomes. Reading how it...
Chigap, I know it's been a while ago for you, but please share how you dealt with your ordeal when applying/interviewing at your next job. Did you tell them you were fired on both the application and...
Thank you guys so much for all of your great advice and support. I used to visit this site quite frequently and now I remember why. I definitely hear what some of your guys are saying about not...
