   I'm so sorry that you're having to discover the truth that nursing is an abusive profession....Be that as it may....GET OUT OF IT....I did by going to Clinical Nursing working for less...much happier....And by no means let hubby dictate your paramete...

2. Demoted, now what to do

   cenote replied to cenote's topic in General Nursing

   My agency has been supportive since I've been with them for 3 years and never had a negative report. But I've just made a decision NOT to take the offer to finish my contract in Med-Surg. At this point, I feel it is better to cut my losses. Please...

3. Demoted, now what to do

   cenote replied to cenote's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, BabyCatchr, I needed some understanding from other nurses right now. I'm confused and hurt. . . feeling inadequate. I want out of nursing so badly sometimes and it's experiences like this one that kill the drive in me. What are hospitals ...

4. Demoted, now what to do

   cenote posted a topic in General Nursing

   I recently started a month long 7P-7A contract at an HCA facility. As is their policy, I had no orientation except for a computer course. On my 7th shift there, and still not up to speed on their computer system, and how they do things, I had a ho...

5. Trustaff and medical solutions

   cenote replied to AussieRNinHI's topic in Travel

   I worked for Medical Solutions on a travel contract and had a terrible experience. Never, never work for them. It would take me too long to enumerate the problems but I'll give some examples. My recruiter lied about the ratio; lied about the 36 ho...

   cenote replied to HopefullySpring2010's topic in Louisiana

   Be smart...don't go...misery does not love company... Get into Respiratory Therapy, Radiology Tech, Ultrasound, basketweaving...anything but nursing. Run...leave skid marks! P.S. I graduated from Charity 4 years ago and have been sorry every day o...

7. Starting over at 50

   cenote replied to kolaone's topic in General Nursing

   Physical care is not and has never been a problem with me. You obviously missed the point which is I can't do my job well and do diaper/sheet changes, walk the patient to the BR/BSC, feed the patient, bring ice/coffee, OH, whatever...and do my job. ...

8. Starting over at 50

   cenote replied to kolaone's topic in General Nursing

   I am looking into alternative jobs for RNs right now. While I do not have a BSN, I have an unrelated bachelor's degree, post graduate studies in business (part of an MBA) and the ADN. So far, any thing I've looked into that states it requires a BSN...

9. Starting over at 50

   cenote replied to kolaone's topic in General Nursing

   I earned by RN (Associates) when I was 54 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret going into this profession. It is not my age for I'm in excellent physical condition...it is simply that I'm mature enough to recognize that this is not...

10. Can You Refuse A Patient Assignment

    cenote replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Safety

    I'm sorry but "have a quick talk at the start with him" is not the answer. Having worked with this type of patient, I know that reasoning doesn't work....they are mentally ill and have lost the power of reason. Therefore, it it mandatory that the p...

11. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    cenote replied to Goju's topic in COVID

    First of all, I am not in the military and the government cannot order me, or you for that matter, to go to work. Secondly, while I promised to care for my patients and have given way too much of myself to this profession, I did not swear to give my...

12. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    cenote replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    I finished my ADN just over two years ago...I'll be 57 this January. With a previous non medically related Bachelor's degree, and a year towards my MBA, I chose the ADN route. In Louisiana, as in most States, there are a prescribed number of clini...

14. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    cenote replied to buddhak0n's topic in ADN/BSN

    I would contact the hospitals located in the area where you want to work and ask if a BA and a ADN will get you the position you desire. In my case, I did ask and found out that my educational background with an ADN from Charity School of Nursing in...

15. Travel co. asking for copy of contract?

    cenote posted a topic in Travel

    Has anyone ever had a travel nurse company ask them to send a copy of their present contract? A recruiter at The Right Solutions did just that. Instead, I sent a copy of my payment stub that showed my hourly wage, my bonus and my weekly stipend tha...
