i also cry at weird moments. i don't usually cry at work--but since we got a manager that is unfair about things--i did a few times. i think it's a way to let out my anger without getting fired. for some reason, when i go to the doctor, to discuss is...

at our place you keep your hospital wide seniority which would relate to lay-offs, but you lose departmental seniority which relates to scheduling. you do get some credit for having been an lpn towards your starting salary--1 year for every 2 years...

occupational therapists are in demand at my hospital. they make more, have weekends and holidays off(sometimes work half a day), and never have to break a sweat. i know some places are different but this is where i worked for more than 15 years. they...

i was with seiu(or is it sieu?). i felt they were a little weak in getting us raises, ratios, etc into the contract. of course, they represented everyone at the hospital so they had alot of people to satisfy. there were alot of grey areas in the cont...

she said 95% of the people that responded to that thread. she is not making any assumption.

i'm not venting. i'm being honest. i just wish i had had someone tell me all of these (negative) things before i went to school. do some research on other medical fields and see how happy they are. maybe you would be happier with something else...or...

if you work for a float pool say at a hospital, you will be placed on whatever floor/unit has a need for you(floated around). you really don't have a home unit.

sorry to say...but i would if i were you. i'm an lpn that recently quit nursing but i have worked with many rns as well and all that work the floor feel the same way. too much crap is dumped on nursing.

i didn't. now i'm gone.

i was an lpn in las vegas making 24.36/hr full time + all benefitss and shift difs i recently quit nursing.

i would never encourage my child to go into nursing. if he/she brought it up i would make sure they were fully informed and have them check out other career options. especially the therapies if part of the interest was in "helping people". if they w...

we used an acuity system. you check a box next to the service that will be needed for the next shift. the nurses that work the floor were not included in setting it up and deciding options. half of the stuff we had to do was not included in the choi...

i used to work with a nurse that was not that much older than me. she would wipe the patient after a bm on the toilet with bare hands and a small wadded up piece of toilet paper. eeewwwww!! i also heard second hand from a cna(so who knows if it's tru...

with all the talk about how nurses should be more professional in order to improve our image, you'd think an instructor would lead by example. i probably would just let it go for now though since you are her student.

i was in for the money. nursing was not enjoyable to me for many reasons. i was good to my patients but still...did not enjoy work. i am done with nursing now--hurray!!

if i were you i'd get a lawyer. unless i had union representation.

i like uniformadvantage.com they have low rise flare leg dickies in long. i think they were 19.99. 17.99 if you don't need long.

better for people to be honest and let you know what to look out for. it may seem like negativity but let the truth be told. i'm getting out of nursing and am thrilled!! i'll never work another day as a nurse!!

i'm in las vegas and am an lpn. i make $ 24.34 with full benefits. raise in process this month. not sure how much it will be yet.

paycheck/benefits plus i love some of my coworkers.

i believe patients should be able to refuse to be on a special diet. they will do what they want when they go home anyway. it is their right/choice.

yes!! you are given too much to do with not enough help and/or supplies. the patients depend on the nurses yet we are the ones given less staff. management treats you like crap, most of the time. they always talk about the budget of the hospital--b...
