  1. bodybuilder nurse

    Guest343211 replied to BigBilly's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't know, but I'd like to be more of a body builder nurse. Lately I haven't been able to get my runs in, much less lift weights. I've worked the floors and units. Often there can be...

  2. Nursing or Sonography???

    Guest343211 replied to jellybean321's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes most often it can be stressful for any great number of reasons--many of them occurring at the same time a good amount of the time. Office politics is a major issue in nursing--you have to get...

  3. Tips for New Interns: How To Get Along With The Nurse

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OK, well besides "Bring us chocolate," a very excellent idea mind you, I add these few: 1. No trippin. Be proud that you've made in through medical school, etc, but there's still a lot of learning...

  4. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    Guest343211 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends. First, if I am working with them, they aren't my "Dr." And not every one that has a PhD is called Dr. Physicians are physicians as much, if not more so then "Dr.'s" (unless they...

  5. How to avoid being fired

    Guest343211 replied to nakeia's topic in Nursing Career

    i know stanley, yet in actuality team cohesiveness is strongest when people openly accept each other and give them space to respectfully disagree. also, conflict is a part of it as well. those that...

  6. "Women Are Catty"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief Nursesrwe, you, well, IMHO, you nailed it. Not all women are catty--but honestly there seem to be more than enough of them to make the workplace--especially in the incredibly demanding...

  7. Ohhhh JOBS.. where are you????

    Guest343211 replied to NocturneNrse's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    "I'm tired of clincal nurse educators who don't educate, but walk around in white lab coats and when you ask them a question their response 's it will come with time.' " Amen. Some clinical nurse...

  8. Ohhhh JOBS.. where are you????

    Guest343211 replied to NocturneNrse's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Be careful with the whole deal of contacting the nurse manager directly. I did this at one place, and the NM was annoyed. I'm sort of glad I did it anyway, b/c I could sense the impatience in her...

  9. How to avoid being fired

    Guest343211 replied to nakeia's topic in Nursing Career

    ghillbert, With all do respect, I do. And not just me either. I know quite a number of nurses who were "let go" for seriously bogus reasons. The likeability factor is a big factor--as is the...

  10. How to avoid being fired

    Guest343211 replied to nakeia's topic in Nursing Career

    Be careful what you say and how you say it. Again, At-Will employers do not need a reason to fire you. It's nice to have something down on the file--just in case, so to speak. But really AWE can fire...

  11. Just Got Fired, Need Interview Advice

    Guest343211 replied to MelissaPhoographerRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, there is no such thing as "innocent til proven guilty" in nursing--and especially so where it involves at-will-employment. Unless you are under contract, an employer can fire you for reason...

  12. when co-workers throw each other under the bus

    Guest343211 replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    Peace, I hear ya. In my situation, it was more of a function of low census, some possible dominance/jealousy issues, and people just choosing to take umbrage at any little thing, little stressor...

  13. when co-workers throw each other under the bus

    Guest343211 replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    Peace, you make a great point. In some cases, I think this is definitely true. People bring stuff in--it's tucked down deep--they may not even be aware how it is affecting their perceptions and...

  14. when co-workers throw each other under the bus

    Guest343211 replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    It's surprising how many NMs encourage this kind of behavior--shoot out and out promote it--and they they rationalize it to themselves and others--stating that is part of their job--this is how they...

  15. Dont know if I made the right decision

    Guest343211 replied to lakesg1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Know how you feel. . .It is not just new nurses. As my highly educated and humorous friend shared with me, "It just seems like a function of nursing." That is sad. No one really shares the extent to...
