And the CNAs who work with me in both settings are worth their weight in gold! Without them, I couldn't do my job! I always help them if/when they need it. We are all part of the same job and we all have one goal in mind...effective and supportive re...

You'll most likely be the only nurse on shift so you'll be in charge of everything! In my facility the night shift nurse gives alot of routine noc meds and PRNs, fills out lab slips, early morning glucose checks, and anything else that can't be done ...

I worked with my boss today and it was really great! The problem is that she is so damn elitest! She was referring to the non-nursing staff and asked me if I ate with "those people" for lunch every day. I told her that, "yes, I do!" Some nurses need...

Shame on you for talking to "those people"! How dare you violate the codes of intolerance and stupidity! All of these cliques are pathetic. Just a bunch of old people reverting back to their high school days. At least we could claim youthful stupidi...

Report it and let the investigators do their job! Seriously. If nothing is wrong, then it will pass...

Hello kids! I am motivationally challenged right now. It's been forever since I've seen a doctor for a pelvic and even longer since I've seen a dentist. Bad, bad nursie! I preach to my residents about taking care of their health...and then I don't se...

I'm still having a good laugh about that one! Obviously, this person did not go to my nursing school!

I would have done the exact same thing that you did! Waiting 10 extra minutes to be cleaned up will not cause skin breakdown or major trauma...it can wait! Your supervisor has no backbone. Had the patient not complained, you'd have been commended for...

I can't wait to see RN after my name!

Planned parenthood "promotes" abortions. Some people will do anything to "promote" the anti-choice movement! Yawn. Stretch. Anyway... Have you thought about doing agency work?

She calls me constantly for every little thing. I love my job in Assisted Living and the patients adore me as well...but my boss is out of control. On every single day that I have off, she calls and marks the messages "Urgent" even though they're far...

The truth is that old habits die hard. I won't change my boss and neither will she change me...so I'm going to change positions to limit my contact with her. It's my fault if I continue to let her be abusive toward me. I'm not happy right now and I n...

I'm not sure yet. I was just laid off, am having a difficult time finding another LPN job, and am not sure that I even care about being a nurse anymore... I was treated like crap at my last job. The pay sucked as well. No vacation time, a sucky sche...

Seriously. This is just one more instance where our patients are given far more respect than we are. Sigh...

I ust started there in january...and I'm already sick of the drama. Right now they're saying that narcs are missing from the cart... Just add that to the laundry list! -Lazy, lazy, lazy CNA's -Inadequate staff nurses -Management getting rid of long-...

Resignation was handed in...entire staff is pissed that I'm leaving. I'll get into a little more detail about what happened: Narcotic card with 47 tabs left on it was destroyed a few nights ago by downstairs RN + night nurse. Downstairs RN has a drug...

Director of Nursing Services/Disher of Nasty Sh*t... Haha.

I'm resigning in the morning. As of July 1, this ain't my job anymore! The evening shift nurse wasted the drugs a few nights ago so they know I'm innocent...but I'm done with this job anyway...in more ways than I could ever tell you! The evening nurs...

That's exactly why I'm leaving! I'm done with the druggie nurses and the crackwh*res.

I was just about to post about the cuts at the LTC facility where I work. Well, here goes... My company has decided to cut nursing hours. This would leave one nurse on the floor with 3 lazy CNA's and 1 good Restorative aid for an hour or so each shi...

Hi ya'll! I have a problem... My male coworkers are like a pack of wolves. One member of the pack was recently fired due to his terrible attitude. OK. So that's one down and two to go! I have another one who won't keep his hands to himself. One day h...

I've complained to my manager about this already...and nothing was done. Most likely scenario: I'll move on to another job. I wish we had a HR dept. Our facility is this company's bastard child. Corporate only visits us right before state surveys...o...

4-17-04 *******, I want to let you know the following on behalf of myself and my husband: Your comments regarding my appearance are making me extremely uncomfortable and I expect this behavior to cease immediately. I am your coworker and I enjoy wo...

So, here it goes. Today my problem child (an incrediby abusive patient who desperately needs a psych eval) acted out once again. She hit me (just lightly), threatened to kill a resident on the floor below mine, spouted racial slurs at myself and a r...
