    "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    CrunchRN replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is rude for people to expect the patients and staff to drop everything so she can take breaks at a certain exact time. Hey patient - quit coding - so and so MUST go on brreak this...

    NEW grad - 2 job offers!?

    CrunchRN replied to NE_RN14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hospital job. Here is the thing. If you go straight to clinic work chances are you will never be able to get in acute care. If you start in acute care it is much easier to transition to clinic. If...

    Private loan and no co-signer

    CrunchRN replied to Davis.M's topic in General Students

    It is a horrible financial move. I know you are excited and ready to roll, but this debt will be equal to a house payment! You are not that old yet. Find a BSN program that is more reasonable. In...

    Anyone been asked inappropriate interview questions?

    CrunchRN replied to laKrugRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If I was asked an inappropriate question, but i wanted the job, I would just answer what they wanted to hear or give some non-answer that would distract them. Normally I believe in honesty, but if...

    "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    CrunchRN replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think if prayer has to be at a certain exact time then another job should be sought. Patients have needs at all times of the day and sometimes other team members cannot cover at exact times. We...

    My friend is still looking for work

    CrunchRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Hard pill to swallow, but we all deal with that when we hit the working world. It is a humbling place! It is like when you have a girlfriend who has a boyfriend who treats her like garbage. She...

    Private loan and no co-signer

    CrunchRN replied to Davis.M's topic in General Students

    Could you wait a semester and work as many hours as possible and save that money to help pay so you wouldn't have to take on such a high debt? It is so hard to get ahead when you have a huge debt...

    CrunchRN replied to sunmaidliz's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh boy. So Cal is a tough market. I think getting a job will be the hardest part and i do not know if a refresher will help. However, if you can afford it and it will give you confidence it might...

    CrunchRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    What commuter said. You misunderstood. This friend wants what she wants, but she blew it, and she is not willing to do anything to help herself or accept anything else. There is nothing you can do...

    CrunchRN replied to michellesherice's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It is not so much not being accepted, as much as the fact that most of nursing is potentially very limited and fast paced, and so this will severely limit your opportunities. I am very sorry you are...

    How do you handle family members who want to impose their will on oriented patients?

    CrunchRN replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    You have to set limits. In the past in the office I would tell people the oriented person is my boss and what they say goes. Period. If they are belligerent then I give them 1 warning that if they...

    CrunchRN replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "It's Not That Special --

    CrunchRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Treating each person like their feelings are important is huge I agree. Does not mean validating them at any cost instead of being honest. I agree people need to be polite and supportive, but at...

    Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    CrunchRN replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    So not only do you have to go back and get a BSN, but now it has to be from the "right" school.

    When people do not like your answer because it was not what they wanted to hear and does not reinforce their perception of themselves as right and everyone else as wrong they complain that way. Drives...

    Applying for my license

    CrunchRN replied to mnrfaith's topic in Nurse Registration

    They do not care if they are fair or communicate well with you. There is a surplus of nurses in the US now. Your only choice is to do what they require or give it up. That is just the way it is....

    Getting investigated for "diversion"

    CrunchRN replied to Liric's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get a non-nurse job to support yourself for now. That is number one. Then get help treating your panic as soon as you have insurance. Continue meetings. Do what the BON tells you to. I know you...
