  1. New nurses feel like quitting?

    I have been working for a year now in med-surg and I must say I have grown to hate it. The team I work with is great. They are supportive. My manager is great. That is probably why I have lasted this long. I had a great orientation phase with support...
  2. Ok so I have researched this subject on here and seen multiple people who are "unhappy" on nights. My question is what did you end up doing? Did you switch to days or stay on nights? And if you stayed on nights did your "problems" eventually cease...

  4. New grads and student nurses...textbook question!

    Because I am anal I kept both my anatomy and physiology books, my pathophysiology book, both my med-surg books and my drug book. That being said I have not opened one since I got hired!
  5. Thank you all for your posts. All of you have different perspectives and it has really helped me to work through the situation. I appreciate all the advice each of you have given me. Now the most important step...applying what I have learned! Back to...
  6. Dave...THANK YOU. Those words are exactly what I needed. Coolpeach...Thank you. It is always nice to hear that someone at one time or another was in the same boat.
  7. WorriedAbout2Morrow and ckh23. Thank you for your replies too! A confrontation is definitely not something I want to have. Which is mostly why I am hesitant to say anything at all. And probably why I'm asking you all so I can learn from this experien...
  8. Thanks to both of you for your input. I hadn't really looked at it from a "bullying" perspective. But I see your point. I have had people take advantage of my soft personality in both my personal and professional life before. Your comment has helped...
  9. Intimidated Nurse, Informed Patient, and WebMD

    Are you sure this wasn't my family?? If I had a dime for every time my aunt told me, "Well I looked it up online and I know I have (insert: bizarre uncommon diagnosis), so I am going to treat myself with (insert: random homeopathic therapies that "an...
  10. How do you deal with the rude nurses you encounter at the work place? Usually I am fine and I just shrug off the occasional snide comment or eye roll. Most of the time I take it as an opportunity to learn because I understand that not all feedback is...
  11. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    I speak english well and clear. However, when I mumble or talk to fast patients ask me to repeat what I said slower or louder etc etc. Why do patients and families not ask people with accents to do the same thing! I find it frustrating when I come in...
  12. Why lie?

    I had a similar situation happen to me. She didn't even take time to check my references. She interviewed more people the following week and chose someone else. I was really hurt because I really liked the unit and thought the interview went well. Wh...

  15. Concern: Age Discrimination for a New 58 RN

    We had one nurse in his early 60's in my graduating class. He had a job within 3 months after graduation in 2010. I say if you have the drive, time, and money to invest in a new career then go for it. However, there is an excess of new grads in this ...
