I have read more than a few threads on here and quite frankly I am a little appauled at the attitudes. No wonder women ask if they should hide the pregnancy! They're discriminated by female nursing collegues right from the start and treated as thou...

"This sure seems an odd way to decorate the school's financial aid office."

"This is how they're starting nursing school orientation?"

Just an observation...you said you wanted to get your thread back on topic...and then proceeded to talk about Christmas celebrations.

I don't believe "Get used to it" is a mentality workers should have. This is the mentality that whoever is making these unstaff staffing ratio decisions wants you to have. Give up and suck it up is the mentality of defeat. But for anything to hap...

When exactly did this happen? I'm not being facetious...I geniunely want to know when things were better.

Props to you for liking SNF/LTC. Personally, I haven't work in one that had decent staffing and I always felt like a med pusher and the environments were awful. You can go directly to the facilities and ask for an application. After you fill it ou...

"Vixen, several "Get Well" plants are missing from patients' rooms...you wouldn't happen to know where they went, would you?"

"Well, the doc is discharging you with light duty orders. Flying is permitted, but no sleigh pulling greater than 10 pounds."

I get that they need to keep census up, but this is a little extreme.

"Well, apparently Blue Cross Blue Antler is out of network. But the doc said he would consider pro bono if you put in a good word with Santa."

"Whoops, I forgot my Deer faces pain scale. I'll be right back."

"This takes culturally competent care to a new level."

I respectfully disagree that the OP has "misconceptions" about teaching hospitals. IMHO, the OP has a valid complaint. If I may, he/she was made to feel like an object and not a person. It's interesting to find that posters that have been in simil...

I'm sorry this happened to you. I agree, the behavior is rude. I chose a teaching hospital for my first baby, because it is considered "the best". That being said, after a first year resident couldn't place an internal monitor or identify the baby...

Even if you change your name, if the user looks at your history, you old name is viewable in responses. There is nowhere to hide.

I'd donate $20 (to fund the co-pay for her psych visit) because clearly any semblance of rational thought has escaped her.

So...I had a recent need to utilize the county health clinic and the "nurse" called me back. She didn't introduce herself and wasn't wearing a badge. She asked me questions regarding history, gave me the shot and that was it. Now, I realize the oc...

Compact doesn't make that much difference. I never found it that useful since every time I moved even if the new state was "compact", I still had to apply for a new license. The compact mostly helps nurse who are travelers. If you change your actu...

Just watched it...1.6 billion in profit/year. This is disgusting. I wouldn't be so appalled if the worker conditions weren't so awful. The reference to skilled nursing makes skilled seem better. Yeah right.

Hopefully, "these nurses" demonstrate greater sensitivity toward patients.

As far as nursing homes, I attribute the horrible staffing to the "for profit" nature of the company, not government reimbursements. With that being said, the hiring of MAs in lieu RNs is another example of the decline of healthcare in this country...

How did you get a job after you gave up? Did someone contact you that you had previously applied to? OP: For what it's worth, you're not alone. When will this economy turn around?

With all due respect, I find this post very belittling. For someone who has been looking for work and applied to countless jobs, I am supposed to "stop whining" and "go live in the woods"? It is difficult to remain an optimist after countless rejec...

This a joke, right? Why would the government pay you if you quit your job?
