  1. Is it just my facility, or are nurses really this backbitting?

    morphed replied to Nurse_Tricia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The people that focus the most on catching other people's errors and trying to find things to report to management are the ones that make the most mistakes and then try to cover it up. The only thing...

  2. ADN: Is it worth it?

    morphed replied to Confused New Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. We're all giving opinions based on our area and what we've encountered but it really can vary from place place. Don't take our word for it, make sure to check out what your area...

  3. Percentage of Nurse Practitioners per specialty...?

    morphed replied to rn2msn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Go to your state's website. Mine has a list of the exact number of each type of nurse within my

  4. ADN: Is it worth it?

    morphed replied to Confused New Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    To be a staff RN an ADN really is sufficient. The only situations that I've come across that require a BSN are if you want to work in certain specialties, become a charge nurse, and go into...

  5. Am I too young?

    morphed replied to mariemac89LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely don't wait! You can't delay your education and rising in your career because the rest of the people around you are older! Whether or not they take you seriously doesn't matter, what...

  6. Hiring Staff? When Did That Become My Job?

    morphed replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    How much clearer do I need to be when I say I understand that she is not a "manager" in that way? I UNDERSTAND that she is not in charge of people. I understand she is not running a department. I...

  7. Are there any policies and procedures against workplace bullying?

    morphed replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, sit down and write down all the specific circumstances that you felt were instances of him bullying you. Give dates if possible. And from now on, write down every single thing he does...

  8. Are there any policies and procedures against workplace bullying?

    morphed replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you tell HR that this jackass is creating a hostile work environment and making you feel uncomfortable I'm sure they'll be quick to check out the situation. Seeing as they have already gone far...

  9. Hiring Staff? When Did That Become My Job?

    morphed replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    I do get it. I think roser13 put it pretty well, and seeing as you gave her a "kudos", I think you agree with her. And what I was saying, she basically said. I think my second comment might clarify...

  10. Hiring Staff? When Did That Become My Job?

    morphed replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be guessing wrong then. I know that a case manager is not the same thing as a manager in a retail store or something, but I think if she has the title of "manager" (and yes, I know she's more...

  11. Seriously, WHO does this?

    morphed replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your manager didn't give names at all. It's possible that your coworker is just testing you to see if you'll admit to it. And she's throwing other peoples' names in there to see what you'll...

  12. Hiring Staff? When Did That Become My Job?

    morphed replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    You want a title because your supervisor asked you to do one thing? And you're considering actually telling them "No, it's not part of my job?" It's not like they're asking you to go clean up poop...

  13. Am I alone or has no place in this so-called earth?

    morphed replied to kvdlr's topic in General Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, what country are you originally from? And maybe I didn't understand this correctly, but if you do not find a nursing-related job in 3 months, you can still stay here if you...

  14. Respiratory Therapy?!

    morphed replied to Dakotie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you've been in clinicals for a few months, but that is still "new" and still different from actually working as an RRT. I still say go on with it and try at least one job once you are done, you...

  15. Respiratory Therapy?!

    morphed replied to Dakotie's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you are just nervous because it is all still new to you. If you quit now, what will you do? Do you already have another job or career? My suggestion would be to finish the program and see how...

  16. Dual license?

    morphed replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. Maybe it is applicable in the RN/PA situation, but the RN/LPN situation has been discussed many times here and everyone seems to agree that even if you are an RN working as an LPN,...

  17. Dual license?

    morphed replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar thought. You're held to the highest license you have; I know if you are working as an LPN but have your RN too, you're actually still held accountable as an RN, not an LPN. I don't...

  18. Thought I was doing fine... THEN got a call from my manager.... :(

    morphed replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Which new grad only a month out of orientation is supposed to be a perfect employee? I can't believe coworkers have the audacity to actually say a new nurse is asking too many questions and is...

  19. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    morphed replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, even though you basically called me ungracious, you said it it in such an articulate way that I don't really

  20. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    morphed replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know if you are referring to the comment I made about the OP finding something that invigorates him. I didn't mean to imply/say that the OP should find a new career. I just meant that I...

  21. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    morphed replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i'm in nursing!!!! gees, can't a person share a thought without people assuming they somehow have ulterior motives? just because i'm not walking around saying that nurses are the sole saviors of the...

  22. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    morphed replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Obviously nurses do certain things without an order from a doctor, but the point is YOU are not the doctor and the doctor has a lot more authority than you. You are not the one diagnosing a patient...

  23. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    morphed replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, the OP is venting and frustrated (and probably had a bad day), but most of what he says are things I regularly read here or hear/see first hand. He has a right to vent though and this is...

  24. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    morphed replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get your point but it seems like you're on a bit of a high nurse. I'm sure many doctors could write a similar post about their crazy experiences. I think it's really insulting the way nurses...

  25. Which nursing programs is cheaper Rush, Depaul or UIC for a Master-Entry Program?

    morphed replied to Xavier2010's topic in General Nursing

    "Which nursing program is cheaper" is a totally different question from "which program is the best bang for your
