    Babzuptown replied to Libby1987's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Babzuptown replied to ladylawless2317's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do as everyone here has said. Then find an attorney because the powers that be will begin harassment and drive you to resign or drum up something to fire you! Then be brave and enlist the attorney to...

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you, both, for your support. This is good advice I'm back doing per diem in the ED. I just wanted something less hectic. But, yeah, for so many reasons, love the "overwhelming floor specific...

  5. I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

    Babzuptown replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    That poem is fun and true for a lot of working/studying moms. If you don't laugh, you're gonna cry. And even if it was from the 60s 70s 80s 90s so what. Still true today. Hidden cat, what world are...

    Babzuptown replied to missninaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "I feel like I'm not really living. I'm surviving work and then merely existing the rest of the time." So sad. So true, me too. I think I will find another way to use my license. or just cut back to...

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    And..I don't see how anyone looking younger than their age has anything to do with anything. Valerie, from what I have seen, many new nurses (whether new grads or new to a unit) are at the mercy of...

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I've had a little sleep. I will review and re-think. I apologize if I offended and the intent was truly well-meaning. I am scared, and vulnerable and already getting bashed at work. Really don't...

  18. Railroaded at work

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    I don't remember how it came up that I was LDS, origionally. I do remember putting it out there after the first mean comment. And believe it or not, my thinking was, I didn't want the person who made...

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    So much of this has been helpful. And some of it is ugly assumption. Why assume so much. I offered background because I hoped for experience, feedback and support. I never imagined anyone was "trying...

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is a union hospital. They held their little "we're ready to part ways" meeting without giving me a heads up so that I could invite a union rep. I'm paying union dues. Some of these comments...

    Babzuptown replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    I will post here after Tuesday what has come of this. As a writer, this is such a classic scenerio of being set up for failure and such a danger for this profession. I sure wish there was something we...

    Babzuptown replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you NC Girl RN and TurnLeftSide. Yes it does suck. And I fully expect to be scapegoated with the bed sore, if it is a bed sore. I pray it is not. And I will sit with the managers on Tuesday to...

  25. women working with women, why its so hard

    Babzuptown replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Again, glad for the candid discussion. I think the push for BSNs was partly to dispell some of this. And now I'm going to get even more flack because, I have always thought that a 2 year trade school...
