  1. Just need to vent and have some encouragement (long)

    MOJO_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is broke. BROKE. To the point where we're the lowest paid nurses in the area. We can't close cause we're a 260 bed county hospital and the only one around for miles who accepts trauma. So...

    I'm sure they are very nice people, but outwardly they are cold, abrasive, mean. I don't know how else to describe them than how I did, they're all Nurse Ratchets. I don't know why you're taking this...

    MOJO_RN replied to MOJO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    OH, man, Super_RN, would I ever like to find a new job. I look every day. But I'm only 8 shifts in to this one, I haven't even been there a month yet. What do I say to other prospective employers...

  9. My Preceptor Hates Me (need advice)

    MOJO_RN replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man am I right there with you. I just started at a place where I feel like I've been thrown to the wolves. Started off with a HUGE misunderstanding-- was told I'd get to cross-train to ICU and ER...
