I enjoy my job as an LPN at a nursing home; but I have a problem with a particular nurse aid who thinks she is the boss. She rolls her eyes, talks about me like a dog, mocks me, and tries to tell me nursing things that are not in her scope of practi...

I would not work for a place like that. Put in your two weeks and find somewhere more peaceful where it isn't dog eat dog.

I had several of the instructors tell me I would never be a good nurse. One was trying to get me to sign up for arts and crafts. I am so glad I didn't listen to these fools because I am a nurse and a darn good one. My patients and co-workers tell ...

I worked a nursing home for 2 weeks as a brand new LPN grad. They put me on two halls of 64 very ill patients. They never finished training me or telling me about the rest of the paperwork when they were about to turn me loose alone. The preceptor...

Thank you for your advice you gave me last November. Sorry, I just read the post now. Hope you are doing well.

There was an old commercial about deodorant that said, "Never let them see you sweat". Act as if you have it under control or they may let you go like they did me. I was given 64 very ill patients as a new grad. They said I lacked confidence and l...

I'm a student nurse and wish I had one like you that would teach me. The nurse at the hospital I was suppose to get report on ran away and refused to give me report, let alone teaching me anything.

I went to a community college where they were all out to get me. One of them screamed at me and said I would never be a nurse because I got one wrong on the math. Then during OB clinicals I had a young, cheerleader-type instructor on my heels so ba...

Keep plugging away at nursing school--you are too close. One day soon you will make good money and have plenty of time with your kids. The sacrifice may have to go on your shoulders with lack of sleep so you can spend time with your kids. It will b...

You need to get a lawyer or fight yourself to get that red flag off your record with the board. I worked a horrible nursing home where I felt as if my CNA liscense was in jeopardy. There was a group of snotty girls constantly lying on me and the bo...

I had an old cranky nursing teacher tell me I didn't have what it takes either. I was hurt and kept asking her, "Do you think I should quit nursing school?" She snapped at me and said, "What do you think!?" She was a real idiot, making herself fee...

This message is for Amybear. Thank you. You gave me hope to keep trying. I am starting another nursing school in May. I have researched them and found out they want students to pass. They have to answer to the state if they don't pass 70% of the...

What do you think of two instructors that get together and fail the same student for no reason? This first little cheer leader type instructor rode my back so bad in ob class, that I ended up in ER with high blood pressure. She conversed on Faceboo...

I like your answer, but we were never allowed to say we were "short on the floor" . Our boss said it made the facility look bad.

Thank you Kudos. I hope you have a good day.

Don't take any crap from these nurses. I worked a brutal nursing home where they were telling lies on me how I "supposedly" didn't do my work. ( I am a tech, not a nurse yet). One tech named Andrea told the boss I left the patients wet and didn't ...

I struggled with that stupid antedotal (the paperwork consisting of careplans, nutrition, etc.) My grade was a 90%, but they failed me on this antedotal. I feel this was wrong, because I pulled it all together on the last day and got it right, but ...

The Johnson and Johnson nursing commercial is annoying to me since I just failed nursing school. My grade was in the 90%, but I failed due to poor paperwork. This commercial knows how to "rub it in". I am transfering to another school, but that wa...

Hi. I don't want to discourage you, but everyone that failed in my OB class last term were all older students. I thought many of the older students were smart, but it was interesting that a young cheerleader instructor decided to single out us babyb...

Hi . I have an aid from another country that barely speaks english. She lies on me every morning when she comes in by telling me I don't do my job. After trying to win her with kindness-and getting treated like dirt--I told her off big time. I to...

I have a clinical instructor who is trying to get rid of me by saying I do med errors. She succeeded today. Why are clinical instructors allowed to single out one person and ride their backs?
