  2. How to tell if you are being targeted at your job by another nurse..

    enchantmentdis replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't incite this nurse; just be pleasant and smile. This nurse will dig her own hole--others are reporting her and she does not like the Don. If the Don figures out that she doesn't like her, believe...

  3. Tactful way to say why I want to leave?

    enchantmentdis replied to jess477's topic in General Nursing

    enchantmentdis replied to travel nurse2009's topic in Operating Room

  6. Help? I need a change!!

    enchantmentdis replied to BrookeeLou_RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. Just wondering...

    enchantmentdis replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly why i now do hospice case management. Pharmacists, physical therapists, dieticians, ot, st, case managers can all get orders for the MD but just don't want to. It is sad that they see how busy...

    enchantmentdis replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

  9. Rant about ungrateful, demanding patients

    enchantmentdis replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    enchantmentdis replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

  11. Ever write up an attending for yelling?

    enchantmentdis replied to mskate's topic in General Nursing

  12. What's with all the work gossip and bull****? A lot of it can be avoided.

    enchantmentdis replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Try to be pleasant and accomodating to your co-workers, but don't divulge personal information, because people gossip even if they like you. It's just too delicious not to pass around stories in this...

  13. Should i do anything?

    enchantmentdis replied to kambloom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You're still in school. You have to put up with behaviors you don't like while in school, and just suck it up in order to get through it--if you want a license. If you report the instructor she will...

    enchantmentdis replied to JillFRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with SoxFan80, but be very careful when you approach management. Try to speak with your supervisor in the morning before his/her schedule is too booked. Say something positive first and don't...
