  2. Hostile work environment

    helikias replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry to hear this is happening to you. I have recently been through the same thing in a non-nursing environment. Another woman and I, long-time employees, were being treated just as nastily and...

  5. Do Not Rehire?

    helikias replied to Nidgma's topic in General Nursing

    That is maddening!! The same thing has happened to me recently, and I was upset. Interviewing costs money, I have to take time off my current job, and it is nerve-wracking. I thnk if an employer is...

  6. Do Not Rehire?

    helikias replied to Nidgma's topic in General Nursing

    They have to tell you the reason, and they have to tell you if you have a Do Not Rehire in your chart. If you really want to know, call and drop vague hints about feeling discriminated against and...

  7. getting a job

    helikias replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    The economy seems rough in the 'Burgh. Have you looked further out, like Monroeville, Weirton, Chippewa, etc. (assuming you would want to drive that far)? Good

  8. I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

    helikias replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't like to hear you call youself "stupid". You can't get through even one nursing class if you are "stupid". No more negative self-talk -- you are obviously intelligent and determined. If you do...

  9. Chamberlain College online ADN: How do clinicals work if you don't live in Columbus??

    helikias posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi everyone, I know there are many Chamberlain threads on here; I have spent the past two hours digging through them, and I have also been on the school website, but to no avail. I need to know how...

  10. Rude Doctor!

    helikias replied to ohioRN09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a jerk! I wish the patient or the patient's family had been been a "fly on the wall", or the insurance company, and got the freak fired! Nausea is like torture -- you were an angel of mercy for...

  11. I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

    helikias replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Best wishes in this difficult time! I am so sorry this happened to you. I agree with the other posters who mentioned that this could be a panic attack; I am sure you knew the material but you had...

  15. Getting depressed; tired of having no real direction...

    helikias replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 39 and I feel the same way. I think a lot of the problems we are seeing in the workplace are from a lowering of standards in general in American culture with regards to professionalism in the...

  16. nurses that have fibromyalgia

    helikias replied to lovinowls101's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know any nurses with fibromyalgia, but I worked with someone once in a library who had it. She was a little restricted in her movements, but she seemed to get along OK and went walking,...

  17. panic attacks

    helikias replied to essie1's topic in General Nursing

    The bullying comes with every profession, believe me, but the assaults by the patients and the geriatric atmosphere seem to be what's really bothering you. Could you shift into research nursing? That...

  18. Bipolar is wrecking my family...

    helikias replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    That's unfortunate. You see, I have a family member and a close friend with bipolar, and they don't do any of the non-compliance things you are writing about. I think it has a lot to do with their...

  21. Anyone NOT have trouble getting a job?

    helikias replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    How about LPN's, specifically? I'm curious because I'm thinking about becoming an

  22. Deemed unsafe

    helikias replied to mimi225's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm sorry! I wish you the best after this stressful situation. It sounds to me like there was internal confusion about which side was the safe side and it's not your fault you didn't know. My...

  23. FYI on POAs

    helikias replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, the nurses don't process the POA's at all -- it's all front desk/admin stuff. Do people usually hand a nurse a POA? I've never heard of that before. It seems like the nurse's primary...

  24. I think I bombed my second interview :(

    helikias replied to RNStudy's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like you did great! Headhunters advise that you should *literally* ask for the job at the end of the interview -- and you did! So, see -- you were right on target. Oh, geez -- I just saw...

  25. Inappripriate things you've seen a CNA do?

    helikias replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

    This one scared me! Did someone fix the problem? I don't know what this means but it sounds terrible! My daughter was in the hospital about around 3 months and the thought that someone could put a...
