I have to disagree. the problem is that you are not unionized and the lpns are. We still work for the hospital and the union works for me. its sounds to me like you have been fed a lot of union busting agenda. that doesnt surprise me considering you are not union. i can switch my schedule if I have a person willing to do it.

I love my union! The are California Nurse association. They are the reason california has nursing ratios. they go to bat for their nurses. The are part of national nurses united. i dont know much about your union. research who is available in your state that is promoted by the nna! good luck

I don't normal do this but here I am. I am constantly overwhelmed. I did a year on med/surg. Had the best team but the work was hard. I did a good job and everyone loved me. I got the chance to do labor and delivery. I went for it. I have been doing that for over a year now. The facility I was at was chronically understaffed and providers where not available or approachable often times. I switched to the facility I am at now about two months ago. I am still in labor and delivery. I am constantly nervous, worried, overwhelmed. I am a good nurse but I just feel so uneasy constantly. I don't even know if I want to continue on this path. We have a bully on the unit that is constantly throwing people under the bus at every opportunity. I do feel more supported at the new facility. Does it always feel like this!?? I am considering doing somethings else. I dread going to work but have to go for monetary reason!
