  1. Overwelmed with fulltime job--need advice

    PostOpPrincess replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    Make a "pros and cons" list about your job and then see if you can speak with someone in HR about your stressors. You're an experienced person, so if YOU are overwhelmed, I can only imagine everyone...

  2. For all of those on Medicaid

    PostOpPrincess replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to grow thicker skin. He's already told you a gazillion times it wasn't about you in particular. So, really, get over

  3. For all of those on Medicaid

    PostOpPrincess replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way. Patients come in with all sorts of co-morbidities and the frustrated families actually ask me to "speak with the patient about smoking, drinking etc.," That would be a "no."...

  5. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    PostOpPrincess replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    here's the new rule: all sns/gns/non-nurses who want to "judge" a vent: =====> place on ignore from now on. they can start a thread of their own on how "mean" and "awful" we grunts in the...

  6. For all of those on Medicaid

    PostOpPrincess replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have a positive attitude and I am glad that you will not be wrinkly when you are older. However, I also think you must've done some drugs because your rosy colored glasses is making you foggy....

  7. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    PostOpPrincess replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Please re-read the post and don't be a parent she is talking

  8. For all of those on Medicaid

    PostOpPrincess replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with OP big time. Don't know who has it and don't

  9. Support Group for Nurses

    PostOpPrincess replied to firefly443's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I would think that the support group is for many other things going on in a person's life besides the job. How about helping another nurse figure out how to handle a child who is having problems at...

  10. Question about pts leaving AMA...

    PostOpPrincess replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

    when i worked the floor, i saw nurses begging their patients not to leave--as if it was the nurse's responsibility for the patient's well-being at all times. ladies and gents....i just pull the paper...

  11. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    PostOpPrincess replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you right now where I work that I do not know who is on medicaid and who isn't. I can tell who has good upbringing and who doesn't because behavior (negative or positive) becomes obvious...

  12. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    PostOpPrincess replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Stupid is never fixable. That is why one should'nt be frustrated with these types. It is the same in every specialty. In mine I don't even bother with the "look", I just answer with a straight face...

  13. Recession creates apathy.

    PostOpPrincess replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad that I work somewhere people come first..and when I mean people, that includes the employees. Happy employees, happy work environment...less turnover... Only makes sense and I don't...

  14. Signed Contract as a new nurse

    PostOpPrincess replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody wants to find themselves unemployed with mouths to feed. That doesn't absolve you from paying the $3K. Don't burn a bridge--nursing is a very, very small world...having done this for 18 years...

  15. Signed Contract as a new nurse

    PostOpPrincess replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    The reason why investing in the younger ones--this is one of them. Just ask HR. I did. Moreover, the fact that trying to back out of $3000 as if it could just be exchanged...how presumptive. OP is...

  16. Signed Contract as a new nurse

    PostOpPrincess replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    You signed a contract and are expected to pay it back. Whether or not you can afford it--is not the hospital's problem. You are the reason why new grads are not hirable--lack of responsibility...

  18. Struggling to get Assertive

    PostOpPrincess replied to bunnyRGN's topic in General Nursing

    First and foremost, I highly recommend you do not use the name Bunny at work. Second, all of this comes with time and experience...be easy on

  19. Nervous about switching specialties

    PostOpPrincess replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    Change is scary. Embrace it, be flexible, and you'll see you've earned a skill many, many, many people do not have. There is no crystal ball...and you have to accept the fact that the road always...

  20. Are there any new grad nursing jobs anywhere?

    PostOpPrincess replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

    None here in South Florida. Wow. I am blown away by this. So many people willing to pay overtime rather than train a new nurse. I personally think this is "payback" for all the "spoiled brats" who...

  21. nursing for financial independence

    PostOpPrincess replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    The math part of nursing is very basic that a lot of people who worry about the math worry about it because they are just not mathematically inclined. Those are the types of people who are great with...

  22. What do I put for pay expectations?

  25. I am lucky...but I'm still very disappointed ::sighs::

    PostOpPrincess replied to Serrano2886's topic in General Nursing

    This is a perfect job for retirement, not a new nurse...just hang in there and go back to school while you're waiting for your perfect
