It's called Nystagmus.

I applaud you for venting. I am sorry that you are dealing with this. It gets to you on a personal level. I get often that i should find a way to "disconnect", a job is just a job. I want to just clock in and out but no I dwell and sometimes that the dark work clouds home. I have become a shopaholic, spending like crazy since the rush felt good at the moment and then once again dwell on my retail damage. Very bad cycle nevertheless. You do wonder why are so many bitter, backbiting people make it through the doors as RN but it's life. We have to deal with the lemons this field throw at us because it's part of it. Just the other day I had an ultrasound done and was just looking at the tech's infectious smile and felt her good vibes. Her work envirorement wasn't as hecked as mine and secretly I envied her. Sometimes it's good just to change careers when the time is right. Follow your passion and not your wallet. I know the economy is bad but there is only one you. I just take it day by day. Count your blessings and just say to yourself it can be worse. Dust off your resume and start putting it out there. When you are at home you are "disconnected" .

This made my day, how can they seriously complain about that with a straight face?. Gosh...

.....and the Oscar goes to. My God I know it might sting or hurt a bit but this patient made it seen like you were butchering him. I will just let it go or if you see the patient again, "What did I do wrong?, so next time this won't happen again. You need to learn right. Some of these patients too sensitive.

Wow so the claws came out already. It depends on the relationship you have with your boss. I will say something since she is still on probation. Why hire someone that has show her true colors already. This is a tuff' one. Some bosses will love her because she is competetive and quick and some will not because of her toxic nature. Just warn your boss and keep the other CNS's on the lookout.

How are you liking Bronx Leb so far?

Lol, don't feed the troll. Some people are here to get their frustations out targeting different posts. Please I completely understand what you are saying. How can some people be RN's when they cant even write a proper sentence. I feel the same way about people that you can't even understand. it all comes down for them on passing the requirements and they did some how. Don't let the accent fool you. they be pulling awesome grades on their exam. It's hard to explain. I know people that can't even email and are excellent nurses. I guess their work ethic is much stronger than some or they know somebody that knows somebody and boom! got the job. Either was what can we do. Some work for cheap, while we demand more.

I have been there and it has destroyed me completetly. Makes me want to hate the human race sometimes. As a fellow human being I will never throw someone under the bus. i really woouldn't care if the rumors are true or not about the other person. It is very sad but I guess it put us in check as to keep the job purely business the way it should be and carry anyfriendship away from hospital grounds. The rumors will continue but you are not fueling the fire. Gossip make other people strive. Only time helped me survive the nasty rumors about me. I was appalled by the people that I called my "co-" workers. No one approached me directly but I was just slandered. Same thing a friendship that people assumed it was an affair. I was known for that but my skills, work ethic, and my dedication was nothing anymore. I rather be known now like a antisocial person, rather than social butterfly. Could care less what they have to say. Just say to yourself that their opinions dont matter as long as your job is safe.

That means that this supervisor is an immature, uneducated ***** to put it in the nicest form. Go back to school is what they have to do and learn some manners. People do get sick from time to time. Maybe she has had it and just took it out on you. Either way is uncalled for that kind of attitude. I tell you, no class. If I were you, I will call her out on it and ask " What exactly you meant by that", even though you might have an idea and see how she answers you. Provide documentation if you went to a doctor and if not take it as a sick or unpaid day. No need to lose a job over that. Been there with bosses that talk to me like I am their child. Angry fire lol. Take is easy and in stride.

Thank God for a husband that supports your decision and for a shoulder to lean and cry on. Sometimes you have to make very erratic decisions to save yourself from a breakdown. When your soul and mind are clouded with negativity you don't think straight. Your rushed decision is understood. Just enjoy your baby more and become a frugalista until things new oportunities come through. Pick up a hobby or two and if possible volunteer. Don't let distance deter future job search and if asked why you left in such a rush come up with a good answer. Some places will understand. Once I had to do the same, going through one more migrane and stomach/chest pain routine wasnt worth it for me. I had nothing else lined up but did have enough saving that lasted six to seven months until I found another job. Took one doing medical assistant duties until nursing opened up. Just take it easy, a job is just a job not your life. May Gog bless you.

Very vindictive person. I hate those "traps". You do have to be cautious on what you say and to who but it could of been resolved different. I wished that person would of pulled you over to the side and just say x,y,z before running to higher ups. Even though he was the one that challenged you, taking the offer sounds very high school. Both parties are wrong. I feel very hurt by your story and that is my biggest fear. Trust issues. May God bless you with more mature individuals that are fair to both sides. They obviously chose his. I hope things work out for you and share your good news. One advise that someone gave me a while ago is not to give people ammo if you don't want to get shot and that is my motto everyday.

will like that robots are not catty unless you program them that way

Congratulations on your job offers. Do interview and make sure before you leap you make the right decision. I had been in a hospital where this same move was done to the nurses, they got a very late heads up and they were left on their own to scramble to see where they were going to be working and this force some into early retirement since their skills were going to be challenged else where. To be working and feelint that you are walking on eggshells is not a good feeling. They knew it was coming the laid off, it's just that they probably waited last minute to see if negotiations went through. In my opinion follow your gut. you never know if you will be next.

Don't even call back. Just apply as if nothing has happened. Hopefully by then they forget the tone of your voice and the conversation. Kiss major butt lol and pray for the best. I hope the letters of recommendations redeem you of your character if not buckle up apply else where buy yourself a car and sacrifice. Nothing should be that convenient.

Maybe she is too busy to get back at you. Keeps saying next week and eventually will get around to it. I had a job that did that to me. I was anxy but I waited. I had asked before so I figured they got the message. I didn't want to look desperate. They called me 3 months after the fact. If they need/want you they will call you. Wait until she calls you. IMO.Good luck.

Wow, your sneakers cut. That is some resentment towards their part. Start looking for a job in the down low and document everything for your sake. I understant the harrasment. Remember a job is not worth anxiety. I hope God blesses you and gives you strenght. I deal every so often with bullying, at the end of the day I think they are immature, middle-schoolers trapped in a grown body. I count the days until I reach my goals. I keep saying to myself as well that is the way they are and they are unlikely to change, so I will eventually get out. I know higher ups are there to help but when you "rock the boat" things could get ugly. I have had several of my items missing every so often. I now bring nothing fancy to work and act as if they are not there. It's hard but I rather have good friends outside work rather than being around fake co-workers. Finish this year if you can tolerate it and leave ASAP. Good luck.

They are so hard to let go especially after you spend a pretty penny on them. At the end you end up using none. They have internet and apps for everything now. I keep them for the pictures :). I like my psych books. It's good to read every so often why people act a certain way and why.

Ouch a thousand bucks for four days. Later down the road you will learn venipunture techniques but if you feel that doing that is a good plan b do try it. The more skills you have the better. Continue what you do as an CNA and take that course. Some hospitals will hire techs phlebotomist for all hours, also you can find out about the blood collection agencies. Never leap until you see what's ahead. Every dime you spend is an investment not a burden. Find out if you can find cheaper class.

I have seen bulletin boards with qoutes, motivators in your life, healthy tips for diet, stress relieve in the work place, some with discounts posted for local concert and shows. Every so often they change it to match the holidays: easter, thanksgiving and so on. It's all hands on by the staff.

Bake fancy cupcakes, learn asian cuisine, be a paid foodie, bar tender, maybe be even a celebrity assistant

Some people think with their groin instead of their head, also despite marriage some people are more compatible than others. It is very awkward to work there but the enviroment will ease up with time. I will not take sides as in there are two sides to every story, they were/are two of your favorite co-workers. Nurse 1 should have nothing to be ashamed about and time will heal her. Like others said ---Karma will take care of it.

I had one job years ago where we all met one day for karoake night and that was great. I know it might be difficult to plan in your unit. It was good to see people having fun. Once there we did a bowling night. I miss that. Every so often where I am at now they have fair days were the staff set up booths sponsored by pharmaceutical or local insurances and that gives them a good morale just interacting with the community outside the office.

Yep I agree same for me yeast infection on skin folds, chunky plaque on teeth, and those big scabs hanging on strigs, just want to yank them off
