    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    And I know it isn't glamorous, but people need to start thinking more about retirement. Defined benefit pensions are becoming a thing in the past and social security isn't very stable (and the average...

    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I live with my mom and feel that adult kids should be helping out financially if they are living under their parents'

    How would you react?

    ThePrincessBride posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I literally just got off orientation and I am in a new specialty, so of course I won't be perfect. Just got an email from a nurse who cc'd part of management highlighting issues she had coming off...

    Don't you just love it when managers have all these strict scheduling rules but then they turn around and break them for their own personal convenience? Mine blatantly broke a couple of the...

    Yeah....you were out of line, but he was also rude. Sometimes it is best just to mind your own

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good point. The reason I am here is for the babies and families. It just gets really easy to get caught up in drama of backstabbing coworkers. I won't bother with an email as I don't want to engage...

    I agree. It is immature as is running behind to management. I have never talked to this nurse before so I am soconfused as to what the hell her problem is... I do want that golden year of NICU...

    I like this. She didn't even give me a chance. Didn't approach me directly or anything. I was definitely blind-sided. Next time we are reporting off I will ask her if there is anything else she would...

    How would you react?

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is bold. But I do wonder about that. Ever since I've started, we have averaged losing at least one nurse per month and there are several new people, mostly new grads, in training. Other nurses...

    How would you react?

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good point. So I guess silence is golden? Management knows that I just got off orientation (barely a week out). I wish I had someone I could trust, but I guess you can't trust anyone, especially in an...

    Thanks for the replies. I really am trying so hard not to bite this girl's head off. On one hand, I do want to reply. I don't want management to think that I am making mistakes she is catching and she...

    I don't want to get too identifying, but it wasn't anything serious like giving lovenox to an actively bleeding patient! I just feel put out. I already have a hard time asking for help because I know...

    What was your first Nursing job?

    ThePrincessBride replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Technically, it was at an ecf but I quit a few days in. Ha ha! Second job was in med-surg. I still work there casually. Third job is my dream job: newborn ICU. Love

    Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    ThePrincessBride replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be that nursing student who refused to work nights. But then I realized just how difficult it would be and how many opportunities I would be giving up in order to get a day shift...
