  1. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to my life. I'm thinking about quitting working in a facility for this very reason. I find that I can never just work my scheduled hours. There are always the 12 and 16 double shift all night...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I have reached a critical point with these forced overtimes. It seems, is the stress I have the hardest time dealing with. Working in a facility is tough enough for 8 hours. All the noise, behavior...

  4. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    My job 90% of the time has NOTHING to do with "assisting" The Nurse as a "Certified Nurse Aide". In reality my job is to DO THE JOB of The Nurse for MOST of THEIR patients to as much as I can do...

  5. So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  10. I called in sick today, they didn't accept it.

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I think the point here is that admin sees nurses as regular workers, just like any other profession. It couldn't be farther from the truth. No one sees the kind of heavy body and emotional toll...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your concern. I feel better today, I think I got some irritation from those pesky blue masks, it almost turned into a bronchitis type of condition. Still going to call off today too. I...

  12. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    OK, nurses have been taken advantage for a long long time. Forced overtime, in dangerous understaffed shifts. Insane work loads like one nurse do the work of two. A breaking point was sure to arrive...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    This woman is obviously a terrible person, and terrible instructor. She is probably jealous of you and don't want to share her knowledge, which is exactly what she should be doing. She has no life and...
