    Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    Gennaver replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, the OP doesn't have an internal problem. She or he likely isn't a "server-helper" person who is willing to be treated badly for the greater good of 'helping.' Not everyone gets an...

    Gennaver replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Firstly, I am sure you know by now that taking responsibility is NOT all your fault. The only error I see is in leaping in to quickly. Also, leaving after you realized there were incompatibilities...

    Mini Rant

    Gennaver replied to ShadowNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you and agree that hiring algorithms and resume scrubbers weed out those people who may actually be the best match if met in person. Instead, facilities are likely filtering out as many good...

    Gennaver replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Yes. One told me at the end of the interview, "I have to let you know we need you to defend or explain your credit report." I was lucky that mine was easily explained and they still offered me the...

    Manager Retaliatiin

    Gennaver replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    As you describe above it surely does not sound like verbal abuse and honestly, even if you were verbally abusive wouldn't she have to first give a. verbal warning before writing you up? I would...

    Co-worker issue

    Gennaver replied to weluvoands's topic in General Nursing

    I think you could, in good conscience, apologize to her for surprising her in front of a patient like that instead of telling her to the side in private. I think you were correct and I also can see...

    Gennaver replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I've driven past this plenty of times, when I lived near Barstow, CA. have you ever been to Primm? I'd suggest a visit and a test drive of this commute as nothing more than a recon visit. Traffic on...
