I was recently terminated from my ECF position. I am a fairly new BSN graduate, with a little over a year of experience. I took this position, in gaining some experience, and eventually applying to the area hospitals. I was assigned to the Alzheimer...

I recently interviewed with a Nurse Manager of a medical-surgical floor combined with Telemetry. From what I gathered, these patients would be admitted with an acute/chronic condition related to the heart, in addition to another medical/surgical iss...

Good luck to you too!

If she has friends working at the hospital, it won't matter. She will have a job, and will be assisted.

The school has changed names is what I have gathered, and has adopted another degree program. The school should continue to have your paper work on file. I would contact this school you have named. The BON of your present state would be the next step...

Unfortunately, it has been my experience, you will be terminated. Lawyer up

I'm in total of agreeance (sic)! I believe everyone has examples where patients ideas and concerns override the best evidenced-base practices. Most recent and very common, a patient with a High K+ level. "I refuse to drink that nasty Kayexalate." So,...

Actually, right now that is how many new grads. are landing jobs in the hospitals- Knowing people. Many of whom could not get themselves of a paper bag if it were placed over their head. Just because Aunt Susie works on a certain unit, does not guara...

Scandalous... you should be run out of town!!! How appalling :rotfl:

Well, it is official... if it comes from a friend-of-a-friend, and of another friend...then, it is true. My friend's friend had a friend..and he was a great friend of a friend's friend.

I agree with the above poster. Begin sending out your resumes. Do not take voluntary leave. Wait until they "lay" you off. That way you will be eligible for "unemployment" benefits. If another position comes available take that, but wait until they l...

Well, enlighten me with why it isn't? Vernix shields the infant from bacteria growth for what period of time? :barf01:

Okay? you go...on with your bad self!

This problem could be solved with some lateral violence, and perhaps pillow-case and baseball bat. Nursing students vs. Rude :madface:Nurse.

Vernix has good antibacterial properties?...so what! Washing with soap and water is also antibacterial... Oh Lordy.. Oh Lordy when will the insanity stop, and medicine become more of a profession again. PROFESSIONAL vs. Google search MedicineMD. D...

You tell it how it is ....Sister!

I'd have to have a gender reassignment surgery to become a nun, and that just ain't happening. I cuss like a sailor, drink too much sometimes, and am far from politically correct. I just don't take that which belongs to others. Perpetual Student...

do not assume that you know for a fact that the nurse "just doesn't like having students" because you think you can clearly see that she dislikes them. talk to her about it. perhaps her father just got diagnosed with cancer, her roof was squash...

Why do you steal money from your Momma's purse... We know what you did last Summer.

Yeah, she is so unfit to be a competent nurse. Are you a nun, maybe you should sign up for some order of Nuns. You are just too good to be on this earth with the rest of 'us' scum-bags.

You already have a lawyer, those questions need to be addressed by them. I believe this forum can not be much of any assistance.

Wow... it seems that this forum has "rude" RNs...:rotfl:

Thank you for the comments thus far. What I was most concerned about this particular unit was the retention rate. I also found out through my own questioning is the "day-shifters" seem to be more concerned with their own work, and could give only two...

My friend told a story about a unit manager that seemed to have the same issue. They were quite happy when it even meant the unit manager would fall asleep in the office. That way the unit manager would not come out and make a mess of the established...
