    Not sure what QED is supposed to mean, but if it is an attempt to heckle a horrible experience, then look in the mirror and laugh at yourself please. I have found some of the most gruesome people...

  3. Can you be fired after giving notice??

    looking for work replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I became wise and learned this too. I just politely leave now, no letter, no two weeks. Its really a big waste of time. Cut the relationship and step on the gas. So sad, but so

  4. Nurses Eating Their Young

    looking for work replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been examining it for 10 years straight. I have not been fired over and over. It has happened, you take your experiences and learn from them. For example, I was a new hire at an ER with some ER...

    looking for work replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a new grad and an experienced nurse, I have been eaten alive time and again by the preceptor. I had one nursing instructor who was a nightmare. I went on for 10 years straight , but I dont think I...

    looking for work replied to Nurse_Advocate's topic in Health, Stress Management

    NJ just passed a law that a patient who assaults a nurse will be charged the in same way as a person who assaults a cop. It is aggravated assault, even if it was a slap. Every nurse I know has been...

    looking for work replied to SweetP'sAunt's topic in General Nursing

    10 yrs experience and I cant find a job. ALways an excuse...too many jobs on my resume, jobs of short tenure, employment gaps, you name it. AT least when I graduated in 2003, I was able to get right...

    looking for work replied to pat8585's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    SIgn -on bonuses are a form of wholesale advertising fraud . Here in PA, not ONE nurse that I know ever collected a sign on bonus as promised. They are not sign on bonuses. They are paid after 6...

  10. BAD PRECEPTOR!!

    looking for work replied to NurxingRoxx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I actually believe that preceptors are the responsible parties for causing a nursing shortage. Even though there is no actual shortage, I have been told by HR at a few different workplaces that...

  11. Which one would you pick?

    looking for work replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I would go for the NICU job. It will be very stressful, but the ped homecare is worse. I have done it. You will have to go into a home, get the kid ready for school, ride on the school bus, sit with...

  12. Orientation Nightmare!

    looking for work replied to Lamesz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am very sympathetic with you. 10 yrs ago, my first job gave me a preceptor who wanted no part of precepting at all. I was sunk like a skunk. Throughout my subsequent 10 years in this field, I have...

  13. Nursing layoffs or difficulty getting jobs? 2011 wages?

    looking for work replied to PhantomDelight25's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am just so concerned that by the time nurses are truly needed in this country, I will have long since retired my nursing clogs. Nursing schools got the push to crank out new grads by the thousands...

  14. Can you be fired after giving notice??

    looking for work replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I can think of 2 instances when I gave 2 weeks notice and was then told not to show up for work. Employers use a resignation letter to retaliate against the employee. I have heard of this happening...

  15. Finding jobs after being fired

    looking for work replied to erkaluv's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed often the most defective, unprofessional nurses find their way into management and stay there, like gargoyles perched on rooftops. When nurses like this are in a position of...

  16. Do nurses get fired often?

    looking for work replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its called creative resume time. We have all had to eliminate jobs from our resumes due to blackballing. Eliminate some jobs, extend dates on other jobs. My biggest pet peeve on a job application is...

    looking for work replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    10 yrs in the profession, DeLana said it well...I could not have said it better. I have walked in these horribly uncomfortable shoes. As a new RN, I found preceptors were like a bunch of swordfish...

    looking for work replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  19. jobs & no jobs

    looking for work replied to navyguyhm3's topic in California Nursing

    I was guilty of falling for "the great nursing shortage" 12 yrs ago and enrolled in nursing school. It is sad to have to write this, because it may be discouraging to others who read it. I think it...

  20. Nursing layoffs or difficulty getting jobs? 2011 wages?

    looking for work replied to PhantomDelight25's topic in Florida Nursing
