ppfd BSN, EMT-P

45 pages LOL No OT to pick up?😜

I had a quit or be fired deal few years back. Been a peds ICU and ED RN in a regional trauma and peds faculty for about 10 years. At this point I had been a paramedic for 25 years as well. I took a job at a critical access hospital for the slower pac...

Seems like abandonment is the new catch phrase being passed around to scare nurses into working more than they are scheduled for. What exactly is it? I work in a correctional/prison setting for most likely the largest outfit contracting suc...

Are we allowed to mention employers here? Thought I read something at one time that was a no go? Anyway they do start with a W

I respect the hell out of the LPNs I work with and ask them a million questions a shift. 1. they have been where we work longer than me. 2. They are not stupid. But yeah, nobodies telling I can't call a doc. This sounds like something my si...

LOL I "might" know some ED nurses that "might" share this information and more on a daily basis. I've been in some big and busy ED's and "maybe" everybody talks about "everything".

I can't say it any better than this. I rarely if ever pick up extra work and I don't trade shifts either.

Place I work now, is small and 2 people have quit, one by facebook messeger and the other over the phone, no notice. Both had new jobs. Doesn't effect me either way, I go to work and go home. Seems the way adults do things now though. Las...

Probably an unpopular opinion but, firing “heroes” for not taking the ‘vid shot or forcing it on employees is not going to fair will for retention. And I agree, let that guy making 7 figures work it out. I go to work, do my work and go home.

I've worked in a women's prison for close to a year now. Easiest nursing job I've had. LPN's handle the meds, I assist as needed. Work a week on and a week off. Money is good as well. Inmates are a non issue, respectful, friendly. Just have to ...

Smile on my face/ Clocking out Payday.

Never had it happen. I tell people when they ask what I do, I'm a mechanic or truck driver...? Last thing I want to do is tell people about "the worst thing I've seen". Plus I drive truck and wrench on things on my days off. Things I...

Hasn't effected me one bit. I had covid back in December and guess what! I am alive and well typing now!! I did get 2 weeks paid off so that was great. I work as a prison RN, at its height, we had 250 out of 500 female inmates with the 'v...

Started working in my states only women's prison. To go from working one of the states busiest ED's to the prison was a huge shift. As an RN, I do almost nothing. LPN's pass meds, techs handle most everything else. I scan papers and put in "sic...

Never love your job because your job won’t love you back.

So let me start with life is tough and not nice. So if Internet comments bother you I don’t know what to say. With that, I was made a no rehire for something similar. I worked in a public safety gig while I went to nursing school. I applied to the ...

LOL A wise old NYPD SGT I knew had a saying that holds true for any career "Never love your job, because your job won't love you back."

Been laid off close to a month and I don't miss it a bit. Thought about traveling. Applied at the local kroger and lowes, don't mind stocking shelves or running a forklift. Ohio nursing sent out an email to build a volunteer list. Promptly deleted i...

I was a medic/FF over 20 years,RN for 10 now. I finish this BSN,I'm hauling *** into the finance/insurance/real estate business, fast food, wal mart greeter, gas station clerk etc. Like public service, no way I'd ever recommend nursing to someone I...

Outraged? yeah. Doc would have needed a tube had he tried this with me or one of my female co workers.

That place with a sign on bonus. 1. You more than likely will have to pay that back if you quit, or get fired. 2. Ask yourself why is this place offering a 10 G bonus? With the supposed "nursing shortage" I always question these big bonuses. 3. I t...

Yeah this is a horrible idea. I retired after 30 years as a FF medic. I went and got my RN while on the job. Your 66 and will be 69 if you do a 2 year program and then test. Enjoy yourself. If you just want some extra money, get a side gig at wal ...

Not so much my boss. I work with toxic A>> holes everyday. I dealt with bullies as a kid. As an adult not so much. I need to keep in mind I am single no kids and can go and do whatever I want. Job makes you miserable, quit.

I work in a free standing ED for the local hospital so "we" are away from the typical BS. I've had the pleasure of knowing my manager before either of us got into nursing. She ran EMS as I did and do on occasion still. My opinion, if managers opera...

Funny, I was a volunteer firefighter for close to 20 years and they kicked me off as working full time and going to nursing school full time cut into the time I could play fireman.
