  3. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    I have suspected this all along. Yes thank you, your advice is golden, and so are your posts. Please write more. I also suspect that the interwoven corporate interest groups working with higher...
  4. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    By the looks of the topics that are being posted here on a daily basis, the "peachy sweet" crowd of "nothing is wrong with the nursing profession" are actually in the minority, as more and more...
  5. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    I'm not on here to validate the opinions of the "nursing shortage is real" crowd. ..or the "BSN is valuable" crowd. And no, there is no "persecution" theory. There is real life, witnessed experiences...

  7. What now?

    I remember a service recovery issue that I handled in a hospital over an "NPO" order. Patient had raised the issue for 2 consecutive shifts, and nothing was done. I took my time, stayed at the...
  8. What now?

    Sounds like your run of the mill workplace that lied through their teeth to get you onboard with absolutely no respect for you as a human being, or as a nurse. Rings so familiar, and so frequent, that...
  9. RN at a loss as to what to get into next

    Its whopping fun to come on here and vent, because we cannot do it at our workplaces. I've been burned out of nursing for 20 years, but I have never taken it out on a patient. Not once. I've left the...
  10. Pennsylvania Compact State??

    Thank you so much for posting this. I have written a few articles / posts / rants / tantrums about how saturated the market is in PA, the lack of compact state licensing, and the lock out of ADNs in...

    Jenbripsu is not a nursing student. Its likely she's a recruiter for all of these worthless expensive online degree schools, who get paid each time someone clicks the ad, and commission if they...
  12. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    I think its well established that the nursing shortage hoax and the LPN-RN, RN-BSN and BSN-MSN higher education hoaxes have caused enormous financial damage for the thousands of sheep that were led to...
  13. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    This profession will test you like you've never been tested before. It will break your sanity. It will make you hate people. ...just stopping short of making me hate myself, I deal in truth and fact,...
  14. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    I used to have that positive attitude as a student nurse too. I was always positive. A ray of sunshine in the dark. A peach. Then I went to work.
  15. Is it worth it?

    Spot on. Co-workers make it or break it. I already know what my pool of available nurse jobs are. Those that require only an ADN. That is nursing homes or homecare, and that is basically my only 2...

    I cannot wait for all you "students" (rolls eyes) to walk the walk, then tell us we were wrong. You won't, because we're not. And you already know

    Nursing doesn't exist anymore. We used to be nurses. We are now box checkers , who are called nurses. See my other article, "Why nurses are leaving the bedside in
  18. Is it worth it?

    I went to school 22 years ago as a second career nurse whose job was wiped out due to automation. I knew it was not going to be clean, easy or glamorous. I knew I'd be exposed to vomit, poop, pee,...

  20. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    I am one of those negative nellies that got duped into nursing school 20 years ago, thinking it would be an awesome replacement field for a person whose first career was wiped out in automation....
  21. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    There is a healthcare system in my area that routinely holds job fairs for the sole purpose of laughing in the faces of the unemployed nurses lined up out the door. Circa 1929 bread lines. They hire...

  24. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Probably could be a topic in itself, but my experience has been when the recruiter/ hiring manager is toxic, so is the job. Some of the people who "onboard" new hires have been not just rude, but...
  25. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    I gave up on hospital work more than 10 years ago, due to the extreme toxic environments, nurse bullying, the cancellations, and then the last straw was eliminating the per diem pay rate and forcing...
