I have had 2 experiences where I have come across people who needed CPR. I still second guess my every move and choice. 1 person lived the other died. The one who died had a bike accident, he was face down gasping. I had 3 people help me turn log rd ...

I think as nurses we need to try different things until we find our niche. I thought I would like a fast paced job, but only lasted 2 months. I quit without notice. I didn't like feeling like I never gave my patients the attention they deserved, and ...

Yes my nursing school had the same policy. We lost 30 people out of 100 because they flunked out.

I worked with a Male cna who simply got up and walked away whenever someone was gossiping. It quickly became apparent he was not interested.

Nothing good comes from gossip and stirring the pot. The ones who instigate it are trying to find ways to make themselves feel superior.

Yes, I love nursing! The thing I have found is that we have nowhere to vent our frustrations/concerns. Management has their own problems and don't have time to help or listen. The one thing I figured out is that nurses have to find a position where t...

I personally try to never cry in public or even in front of my family. I have only cried 1 time at work when a manager was out of line. I think there are people who are more sensitive than others, there are also people who have other things going on ...

Interesting she made a snarky comment about nurses talking out of both sides of their mouth, complaining they are tired yet she used being tired as an excuse for her dumb comment! The double standard here points out that she clearly has no understand...

Better safe than sorry

I enjoy working with most male nurses. There have been times where I felt they were arrogant and thought they were better than female nurses. Nursing is an awesome career for anyone. Both genders make good nurses is they are competent and caring!

Thats terrible! I hope i dont get blacklisted but i am done. Life is too short to let a job consume you.

I have been working as an RCM in long term care for 5 months. I have been provided education on how to do MDS and state regs. I know this cost the company money to train me. I have done a good job, but was not trained on all aspects of the position a...

Well it will probably take them months to find a replacement. And as leaving at 5 not gonna happen when they constantly throw admits at you at 2pm with no warning. I agree if circumstances were different but they don't care, so why should I. Thanks f...

I am almist 60 and plan to work 5 years more then move to the coast. It would be unlikely to run into people from where I live down there. I am not worried about my reputation as I have excellent skills and get along with nearly everyone.

My only problem with giving a month is they won't find anyone and will the new place wait? There was no rcm when i got there. They had hired a agency person for 3 months. I will be super uncomfortable looking at them every day in stand ups. If the jo...

That's where I am at. I am mentally and physically exhausted. I am tired of people saying "why didn't you do this" and never having been told that I was supposed to do it. I am very conscientious and it stresses me out to always feel behind. Like I s...

Thanks! The other rcms don't seem to mind the hours but they have been there longer and can't catch up either. Too stressful to always be behind. The other job I applied for pays 10 more an hour and not salary. Better for my family. I should tell the...

Thanks for the advice! One problem is admits that take a couple of hours. There is no warning you are going to get one and have to stay til 7. So tired when I get home and hubby feeling frustrated as I'm asleep by 8. I appreciate your suggestions but...

I understand but am ok for no rehire. Plan to work as charge or hospice nurse. No salaried job for me.

I have a daughter who is chronically ill and has been hospitalized numerous times. I have met some amazing male nurses who provide competent compassionate care. On the other hand I have met some very arrogant know it alls. So I guess like in every ot...

I know several WGU BSN grads that work in a hospital, some are in management and working on their MSN at WGU. I would ask the place you are interested in working how they view a BSN from WGU.

They are CCNE accredited!

Hi Brittany, I found out I can take all those through WGU. They add them to your program. I am doing them at WGU because it will be cheaper. Sue

Hi, I am starting 11/1/15 too! Excited to get started but concerned about much time it will take since I work full time. I have 40 CU's to take too. I have not taken statistics or biochem though so do not know if that will add time to my program. Let...
