I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is not easy on you and I can assure you it's very uncomfortable for your ex friend. I use to work with a group of women and loved my job until I made a mistake and applied and got the supervisory position...

I hold a masters degree of science with emphases in marine biology (from graduate school in Europe). Had my degree evaluated by ECE and had done nothing at all with my degree. I did not want to teach and it did not matter in my previous job. Long s...

GRE - PASS!!!!!!! Yes, today I found out that I passed the GRE exam in the low 90-th percentile in all three categories. I am so happy, all day I literally hop scotch all over the house. I was hesitant to share this news here as I don't want to ap...

Thank you all so much! I will try to get some sleep tonight - it will be hard, as I'm still jumping up from excitement.

This is how I feel about spelling and grammar on allnurses: It is not as important - it is secondary. The reason why I say this is: because the site is not designated for writing thesis in "early English literature" and have them evaluated for spelli...

I know that "who you know" will get you a job in any industry. Today we welcomed a new grad RN who was working at our hospital as an aide - great!!! The only thing that we did not like about her was that she was a stock up young girl who was telling ...

Thank you so much Fribblet - there is nothing better like a good, healthy laugh at the end of the day, I love your sense of humor. To all that I have offended with my spelling and grammar - I'm sorry. Not to make any excuses but English is my second...

Your family comes first - in this economy this should not surprise anybody, I think honesty with your current employer is your best strategy. Do it in a profesionnal way with a nough notice and you should be fine, you'll never know what the future wi...

I think this post is a fake! Ms.RN just made up the story to see the reaction. I mean - REALLY- any body that have worked the bed side even one day would know not to leave a pt. unattended - not a patient who can not do anything for herself or someb...

Ouch! I hope the OP had learned a valuable lesson, she sounds genious clueless. I am not surprised, she is not the only RN who thinks in such way, sad - very sad.

I always take off my scrubs in the garage and put on my robe because as soon as I walk in my little one runs in for hugs. I usually take a shower shortley after - it wakes me up and helps me stay up for another few hours.

:hug:

Lol! You are not incompetent - you're a parent, and feeling of incompetance is one of the "perks" of parenting. Couple of weeks ago, we rushed with our 3 y/o to peds. office with moskito bites, we did not know they were moskito bites as her arms look...

nooo, you don't sound uncaring, you sound normal! Patients can be "funny", you can bust your butt all day long for them, take care of every need, answer every call light and at the end one unanswered call light can place all your efforts in the toile...

Today - 16 patients on the unit, 3 Rn's and 1 aide. The RN's are all registry and not familiar with the patients on the unit and are not notified that they all have to "share" one aide ( as it is very hard to notice).I have just got off a night shift...

I love how difficult situations,difficult patients and coworkers are shaping me into a proffesoinal I am becomming, I love how I take charge of my emotions and carry on and do my job. I love how each time I go to work I am reminded how blessed I am ...

Why would you say something like that ( and all the people who gave kudos)? She allready feels inadequate,so yeah go ahed and make her feel worse.I hate to say that, but you will have one of "those" too, and may turn for support and just to vent on h...

I don't know, every programm is different and the requirements change constantley. Don't give up - there is a lot of people out there that have been trying for years to get into the nursing program and are not getting in. I was one of them, it took m...

People like her should quit! When I have to work with a person like that I keep busy at all costs to avoid contact to a minnimum, because today in this economy I thank God every day on the way to work for blessing me with with this job. There is othe...

ha, ha, I have been asked this questions a milion times first by the nurses in that took care of me, by the doc's and a priest.Yes I have been loaded with meds at that point so some speculate that the chemical changes that are going on with the brain...

wow, when I was in 4 day coma or comming out of coma or whatnot - the first thing that I remember and that stuck in my memorry right after I heard the nurse screaming my name was my dad holding a hand of a child I have never seen before and have not ...

Don't you wish there was a day such as "Take your spouse to work day" - or maybe there is one? Sometimes I get so mad at my hubby for not understanding how tired I am after work - in his understanding and- it is only from watching movies, where you s...

Sure, I have seen that going on too, not at my current hospital. I had worked on gen.med/oncology when I would from time to time patient sitt, lot of times we would get CIWA patients ( pt. going through withdrowal alcohol or drug) or suecide patients...

In the acute care hospital if you are sitting a patient you are not allowed to bring anything into the room with you maybe your purse and you are definetley not be allowed to study. I would recommend you get your cna and work as a patient care tech -...

AMEN!!!!!!
