  1. Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I feel crazy for thinking this and feel the need to look for other peole with the same thinking. I'm done with nursing ages ago but it's the only field I have skills in so I stuck with it. I know that...

  2. Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, ending up in long term care was the result of my attempt to leave hemodialysis which I absolutely...well not absolutely really... hated. I feel like I've already wasted enough time...

  3. Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the reply people. I was planning doing nursing assistant work in some northern Canada province.... Yes, I am burned out. I am currently in Long Term Care. All I have done so far...

  4. Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

    hazyblue posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I like to think that I criticize constructively. I've been taught to keep such conversations privately. One time however I wasn't able to refrain from airing my negating opinion to my nurse colleague...

  5. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not even a whole week. As a matter of fact, aforementioned staff made an effort to personally submit a doctor's note around the third/fourth day. The note said T/C peptic ulcer. Said staff...

  6. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. It's okay. Some members of the expat community here like to joke about it too. White people be like excited to be discriminated for the first time and stuff. I would had liked to think those...

  7. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    It's more of I'm questioning why that long, why a month especially when my doctor is confident. I suppose I'll think the same as @Rose_Queen that my manager just like to think well ahead. Way ahead....

  8. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    My doctor's note has a date specified on it... It's not just the erasure, the way she changed the other nurses schedule to relieve me during nights is very final. I won't dare approach management...

  9. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't dare to directly point out the erasure so I just remarked about a "third" nurse being assigned on (my) night shifts. Night shift here is always limited to two nurses irregardless of the...

  10. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not. I'm sorry if I appear that way. I just originally wanted to ask if people will erase a staff nurse (who has been absent for three to four days due to stomach pain) from the duty roster for...

  11. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. Yes, this is me. I wrote the first part in that manner because I wanted to know if other people would do such a thing too. Who am I kidding? I did the first part in third person because I...

  12. Perpetually stressed.

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks for words. Now that I think about I was supposed to ask for something here but I forgot. Yet you people still shared some words. Again thank

  13. Perpetually stressed.

    hazyblue posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    ? Going to be. Taking the day off doesn't have an effect anymore. Leisure activities will be good for half a day or so. Since last month or was it the last, I've caught myself reprimanding one or two...

  14. Going back to school in another country. Opinions welcome.

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah. Kind of. I don't intend to pretend to be a new graduate though. I don't have to. I'm probably worse. Let's just say that I made one bad decision around five years ago that led to me having a...

  15. Going back to school in another country. Opinions welcome.

    hazyblue posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hello. I'm supposed to be a nurse with 8+ years of experience but thanks to my sad choices those years don't really count. I'm thinking between giving up nursing for good or starting over again. I was...

  16. What do you do with families who think badly of you?

    hazyblue posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know that ways to handle a family differs by case. To be honest, I'm probably here to unload rather than ask for advice. Let me tell it chronologically. One of my patients is on mechanical...

  17. Resigning

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know and I have always received advice not to burn any bridges when you quit your job but I'm really very conflicted right now. I know that you're not suppose to write abrasive things to your...

  18. Resigning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Since I was asked for an update (and since I'm procrastinating on my chores), I thought that I'll do so. It turned out that there was no need for me to ponder on what to include in my resignation...

  19. How to cannulate without pain?

    hazyblue posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm working for almost 1 year in HD now and still I suffer rejection from patients, one of which is that insert needles painfully. I'm not good with deep accesses either so I really want to get this...

  20. Resigning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    That's about it. And more . (Oh I'm not really during CNA work. I just decided to use the word ancillary to distance the facts and keep anonymity.) I wish my workplace just sucked in a common way. I...

  21. Resigning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you people for reinforcing the truth that higher ups don't really care. This gives me the strength to resign as soon as possible. I was going to wait longer because my chief nurse (DON) has...

  22. Resigning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh* Why does being professional hard? (Don't have to answer that. It's rhetorical.) @ vanilla bean and all of alllnurses.com Sorry. I usually just internalize all these things alone but you can...

  23. Resigning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    @ klone Yeah, it was too long for me too. Believe me when I say that I restrained myself on this post. . On exit interviews, wouldn't telling your specific reasons in an interview be just as damaging...

  24. It's okay, people, it's okay. (Re: Nursing Stress)

    hazyblue posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I just had a personal breakthrough with regards to my struggle with nursing and I thought that I should share it in case someone suffers in the same fashion as I do. Nursing is a profession filled...

  25. It's okay, people, it's okay. (Re: Nursing Stress)

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Oh, it's very nice of you to read everything and post @VivaLasViejas. Aww, I'm touched. It's okay, you don't have too think too much about this. This post was supposed to be vague, and is a half-meant...
