Bloody hell this is a hard decision.. Early this year I got what I thought was my dream job. It was in a step down ICU at a huge great hospital. Well I really really liked the system but I've not grown to love the unit, it was boring and my co-worker...

and at the same time I feel great to have saved the patient Lots of time there are emergency situations at night and they have new interns covering who basically because they're new have a lot to learn still. So when my patients are going bad I call ...

so there was a very mean employee im calling on the phone for my patient. After I hung up, I said ***** and an employee overheard me. This happened a few months ago and She reported it to the manager. And the manager wants to talk to me now. I feel...

Some nurses liketo browse the entire chart of the patient during end fo shift which does not really work out if you only got 30 mins. to give report for 7 patients. Is it okay and how do you politely say that I've given all the pertinent information ...

i work in a telemetry/ progressive care unit and we get like 7 patients max of 8 Now some patients and their family members are so demanding you're gonna spend all your day in their room with all their requests. Like wanting to transfer patient eve...

I am starting my second job which is part time on April 1st. The thing is the first 2 weeks is central orientation ands it's 5 weekdays. I work 3 12s on my first job I would need to get a day off to make it through the transportaion. How do I put thi...

well first off he always looked like an angry person, very angry but esp. weird I think it started when he came to pick my patient and he had to wait some because I am dealing with a critical one. Ever since then when he sees me he looks like he w...

what's this BS of one person being important than the other? Seriously, that's way off the mark

This is irrelevant, supposing that my problem with this particular person represents the entire transporter population, very wrong

Alright you guys never mind, I feel that making this post is a mistake. I feel like one of those victims who made the mistake of speaking up and just being ridiculed. When I say a transporter is acting angry towards me that is what I meant, some post...

I was in a job interview for a second job that I think went really well. And I really like the position. She told me there were two positions available a full time and a 20 hr/week. My problem is I have not informed her nor denied this would be my SE...

I'm 10 months now in my facility and recently i have sent out applications and got 3 interviews from my dream hospital I am absolutely ecstatic about it considering the prior pain I went through as a new grad RN I really would love to at least finish...

i worked 12hr day shift and then stayed over for 4 more hours. so I get off at 11 pm. I made sure I got everything by that time. Nurses who come relieving you should be there on time are they not? No they come in late around 1115. You give them time...

i swear i feel so mad right now I can cry. i need to vent okay so I work 12 hour shifts from 7 am to 730 pm and boy it's hard since it's usually 6-7 high acuity patients but this ****** oncoming nurse is just a really bad way to end the day. she com...

So we had our new kind of multidisciplinary rounds where all members of the healthcare team are there today. Let me tell you that before this I was really doing good but today I felt really overwhelmed with my patient load and their acuity I didnt ha...

Oh you guys are amazing. I just want to let you know how I appreciate all your replies. It feels good to have somebody to bare my insecurities to as I dont know if it's like this for you too. But everytime I go to work I know I have to be brave and ...

Thank you guys

Please help me. I worked as a CNA in this facility (my first job ever) for 8 months and then i acquired my RN license since they have no openings they referred me to their sister facility. The sister facility gave me only 13 days of orientation then...

feel free to share :)

How? What are their duties?

Since I've no one else to talk to. I essentially bear my own cross, of course I still believe with God's help. I've been thinking about the nursing profession I've gotten myself into. Looking back, I know that it was a conscious decision on my part ...

You'll be okay, God bless you, your family and your dream :)

thank you so much guys for sharing me your insights, it gives me great comfort to have somebody to talk to since i feel so ashamed that i got terminated from my first job. and try as i may i could not see what i could have done more to keep it. havin...

Just curious, what kind of information? for example do i need to recite all the patients meds? all laboratory tests recent and old? what kind of assessment should i include like do i say i find the patient SOB- do i still include that? or could you g...

i love you guys!! so much! :hug:
