  4. let go 6 wks into 10 wks orientation...is it fair?

    Burlshoe114 replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why, but I find this point of view to be very cold-blooded. I understand the logic and I understand the bottom-line-business point of view, but I would absolutely hate working under a...

    Burlshoe114 replied to purple10's topic in General Nursing

  7. Got the job only because of who you know?

    Burlshoe114 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I saw this in spades at my last job. Only it wasn't because the NM was forced to hire the boss's neice, but people whom the CC clique determined to be "weak." You were either "in" or "out." Once you...

    Burlshoe114 replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Career

    I really appreciate everyone's feedback! My OP wasn't to say that I didn't want to touch patients (The patients are what I love about nursing), but that I am starting to see some of the inconsistent...

  9. I need help regrading an ethics opinion piece!

    Burlshoe114 replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    I think the measures taken were not appropriate, and that as long as the organ was not identified as "Mrs. X's" placenta, there was no violation of HIPPA or patient privacy. Once the organ is not...

    Burlshoe114 replied to purple10's topic in General Nursing

    Burlshoe114 replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't mean to sound like "sour grapes," I just keep hearing people say there are so many other options in nursing, but these options seem to be more the exception than the

  12. Nursing student unsure...in fourth semster

    Burlshoe114 replied to aaronneedsadvice's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything said above. How happy you are in your nursing job depends so much on so many factors - What job you are doing (there is a BIG difference between what a day-shift OB RN...

  13. let go 6 wks into 10 wks orientation...is it fair?

    Burlshoe114 replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    This is something which is happening more and more. In today's market, employees are disposable. I went through a very similar experience recently myself. Stinky part - even if you do fight it or...

  15. Help! How do I fix this?

    Burlshoe114 replied to Burlshoe114's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor was havng an off-day as well, and a big part of the problem was he really didn't want to have this patient and didn't want to do the proceedure (which was a sedated hip relocation). The...
