I too am out of a job. I have survived on temp positions for the past 4.5 years. It is really draining, mentally and financially. My latest was an nursing agency, Favorite Healthcare who told me that there were no positions avail. I was physically pr...

You have a union, I would be writing everything down managment does. Bullying, intimidation tactics to not claim OT for no lunch, staying late for charting, poor staffing( you know what your staffing numbers should be- write these people up!!) the st...

Stay clear away from Favorite Healthcare staffing. They will not deal with you in an honest and above board manner. They will not give you any assigments if you do not fit in the their "high school girl clique" image. I have caught them in so many u...

Makes you wonder why Nursing managment still has a Nursing license, doesn't it.

Oldnurselady- You Go Girl!!!!! You Rock!!!! I wish I could like your post 100 times. Yous said it all and I 100% agree.Well done and well said!!! These mid level managers are playing up the angle of what nursing should be and ignoring the fact that n...

Then finance better get off there butts and come down and take care of these patients!!!

Time2 go- I think the point your instructors are trying to make about having all the information gathered before you make the call to the physician is: the doctor yu are calling(on the phone) can't see the patient your are notifiying them about. The ...

Agreed- this has to be done across the board, and not just in one facility but all facilites nurses work in. It's not just happening in one facility, on one unit, to one or a few nurses. This is a universal problem. It's not just a clinical nursing p...

If you guys live in California- write all this down, with name date and time and send your letters of complaints to the CNA/NNU AND your Department of Health, your congress people, your senators and the media. The manamgnet gets away with this becasu...

The average career of a nurse is 25 years????!!!!! Is that why us who have been a nurse for 32 years can't get a job? Munro, where did you hear this???Is this true??? I knew it- it's soup kitchens and homeless shelters for us What are we supposed to...

$85,000 HOLY CRAP!!!

I would like to throw in another twist to this saga. My school has just removed it's basic health assessment course for RN to BSN completion and replaced it with an Advanced practice physical assesment course. If you finish your BSN by 2015 your ok, ...

Managment doesn't want the staff telling the truth to patnets because if a mistake is made- the patient has a legitimate leg to stand on that is the managment's fault. Managment staff the hospitals not the worker bees who are run ragged. If the nurs...

Managment does it for the same reason they demand unemployed nurses go back for their BSN. Business people will never tell the truth, they sugar it up with something so 'fantastic" any reasonable person with an ounce of common sense has to get away...

Why even fight about it. When the fiscal cliff hits- BSN's and ADN's will be laid off. Thank you corporate America.

I think it is fruitless to argue the I'm better than you stand. Nursing needs to start think(critically thiking that is) about practicality and reality- gived the nurse a job before you demand she make a "sofie's choices" decision which will impact h...

MunoRN- great post. I'm glad some one finally came out with stating an argument against the plausabilty of Akein's recommendation on BSN required. This has shut alot of us out of jobs and in an economy where so many people are going under financially...

I can't believe someone hasn't physically attacked one of these managers yet! Heaven knows, they are asking for it! back in the day, someone would have given then a good hard slap in the face.

That's not entirely true. Go to your unemployment office/re employment office or workfore development office what every your state calls it. Talk to someone about filing a claim and file a claim anyway but do Speak with an unemployment investigator-...

Oh crap, I thought this was about someone transitioning to get out of nursing!

Commuter, I must admit, you do come up with some stories but this is not one I can get into. I can yap on professional relations, politics but this is where I bow out. I need a VIVA post . See ya kiddo.

"They are barred from working a home health agency but can work in a hospital provided they don't work together". All I have to say is Whoa. And these PTB in nursing will not let RN's who have been away from acute care for: 18 months, 2 years, some ...

Just read in the news- A 58 year old woman is going to be the new CEO of the Lockheed Martin Corp. Nursing is shutting out their over 50 year olds and we are giving this young person advisement to go into nursing. WHY? Be an engineer!!!!! Engi...

The real truth of it is. This young person can make a mega bunch more money in the IT or Information managment field, just read the figures on Monster.com $109,000/year, or in any of the engineering( $110,000/yr) fields or in finance($$100,000-$170,...

Nurses don't get to retire with the dignity and graditude that others get to retire with. They get pushed out, harassed, insulted degrades, nit picked and micromanaged by their nursing managment until they can't take it anymore and quit. Nurses are e...
