Be sure you count as soon as possible when you get there. I hate it when I am done and waiting to go home but the nurses coming in for PM shift (or any shift for that matter) take off and I have no idea where they are or they are talking to another...

In most customer service jobs you have the right to kick the person out for the kind of behavior they are giving you. In healthcare we do not have that right. We also have bosses who are only thinking of the almighty dollar and do not have the same ...

Back before I went to school for nursing I worked in the health insurance industry. Those CEO's make way too much money. They want the claims processors to find ways to deny claims if possible. If we could get the same healthcare benefits as them,...

You sound like you are having the same problems I had. I graduated, found out I was pregnant, took my NCLEX a couple months before I had my child and still had a hard time finding a job. I took a refresher course 2 years after I graduated. I finally ...

unfortantly there are other professions that get treated like guys that are perverts and sickos. They are cashiers, waitresses, bartenders, salespeople, realtors and many more.

I wish this country would make it a felony to assault a healthcare worker of any kind. We are one of the most disrespected professions right now politically though. I cant see congress or the senate "wasting their time" They would think it is anoth...

I found out I was pregnant right before I took my nclex test. Besides the bad market I had three interviews while I was pregnant and I did not receive one of them. One of those interviews was the day before I was scheduled to be induced. I still h...

Yes my Monday and Tuesday were nuts but there was a diferent reason for that. Everybody was nuts getting over their highs of the Super Bowl since I live by the Frozen Tundra :) Most people were not to sick around here this week:) Patients are in ...

I have seen just as many mistakes made by RNs in snf's as well. Don't cut down every LPN just because they are trying to cover their butt. You do not know if they were getting in trouble because of people like you.

I do not approve of drinking but I only can see this percentage at a certain time like around 2 am when bars are closing or in the rural areas (from experience of working in a hospital and having 9 out of 10 car crashes alcohol related) or if they ar...
