    Nurses calling POA to notify

    CrunchRN replied to NurseB96's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse and family member I would just be happy you kept them safe, and I would just ask about circumstances when I visited and saw

    To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    CrunchRN replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Reading this I thought no way can this be true, but then I saw you had written it and you have been around here for eons and are very credible. At the very least this girl is incredibly shallow and...

    Nurse bringing child to work

    CrunchRN replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like a no win situation for all. As others said there should be some childcare available. Can't leave them home alone, can't call in or be fired eventually. Not everyone has family or friends...

    Exit interview survey, tell the truth, lie or ignore

    CrunchRN replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    That was brave and I really admire that. I have always just lied so there would be nothing held against me in case I wanted to return and because I worried about bad references if I was honest. Some...

    Stupid mistake when being observed

    CrunchRN replied to Zippy83's topic in General Nursing

    Performance anxiety sucks. You just have to move on and try not to ruminate too much about it. I would sit down with her and just confess that it made you nervous and here is what I will do in the...

    Found out I have a pretty significant back problem, how to keep nursing?

    CrunchRN replied to TammyTho's topic in General Nursing

    Is it a Synovial cyst? I am having one removed next month. Once removed they say you can lift again after several

    $3.85 dollars an hour. I may cry

    CrunchRN replied to Nickc58's topic in General Nursing

    The OP came back on and said the boss made a mistake and they got paid more so not really an issue any

    CrunchRN replied to czap's topic in General Nursing

    I had major surgery in February and it was really nice having my husband with me in Pre-op. They did shave my groin as that was accessed during surgery. There was nothing for the nurses to be...

    Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    CrunchRN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I don't know. That all makes legal sense 10G, but she was doing her best to do her job and got horribly injured in that process. Seems like she should have been paid until she was physically cleared...

    Get the help with the anxiety and then return. It will pay off big time in all aspects of your life. I didn't even start nursing school until I was 27 by the

    Nurse Practitioner (Mother) leaves 21 month old in car for 8 hours

    CrunchRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is just a tragedy for baby and parents plain and simple. Change in habits and distraction allow these things to happen. I am sure she would give anything to have that day back and change things....

    Is an ABSN program worth the debt?

    CrunchRN replied to Stella36's topic in General Students

    Not a wise choice to get all that debt. If you want a family you probably want a house too. You are young enough to take your time. That debt will never go away until you pay it and who knows if you...

    Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    CrunchRN replied to Florida Sun RN's topic in General Nursing

    Keep looking for outpatient jobs. Sell yourself at the interview. I never wanted to do acute care after being a monitor tech and unit secretary prior to nursing school. You can make it work. There...
