I feel your pain. Same here. And we do not have an union!!! However what we have is to - sign in for holidays for next year and half ahead. (I even do not know what I will do in next few months.... I guess my life have to be centered around a holiday...

Hi, we all know it, many days without meal or bathroom breaks, double ratio of patients... but morning clock in/ clock out in the time. When you tell manager that you are severely understaffed and can't even take a break, which is daily issue, and m...

In brief since it would require to read fully all previous posts: As much as one posts observation and experience regarding part of those African Americans who ignore white nurse (and in experience only white staff) are racist. That much it has to do...

The reading and comprehension are the basic skills required and usually tested (together with critical thinking skills) by nursing schools. This is nursing forum, right? In my version of reality - I do read, I do comprehend, and I do not side with ra...

No need for crystal ball on my side. Maybe necessity to comprehend a written word on your would be sufficient. I wrote: "The reason is, some of them, one portion of those ignoring African Americans is that they are exhibiting sings of racism, as they...

As I believe I said - some of them give attitude to white nurses only. Only and only and only one ethnicity. That fully fit the word of racist. (If I omit the comment about white potato, they gave to a white CNA attempting to take vitals.) If you hav...

Not sure if I am right, but I think it is mainly because people does not stick together. Some people think that if they will "smartly" put up with it, they will progress :) they will have less issues. Others will want to let the others to take a risk...

Sorry, I am not sure where do you think it should go to? It is plain observation and division into two groups I found. Wasn't my description clear? Not sure where you going with your comment? Sorry, if it gave you a trouble to read or understand. Rea...

Hi, I noticed the very same thing when I started nursing. Not possible to miss when one work in the area of predominantly African American population. But it does not bother me at all. I give you my personal opinion on the matter. The reason is, some...

Hi, ED is never boring! I can ensure you.

Hi, I am not following, so I have few questions in an attempt to grasp the situation. You study leadership in nursing. You do not want to really work as a nurse. Ever. Your previous position - was not real actual nursing. What are you trying to accom...

What I think about it: Oothers said, that the actions are not public and they are only between the MD and superior. Huh, that is true. Now think about it. Who the superior is? The director who hired this MD? What was the hiring process? Enclosed proc...

When I started nursing, I was aware of pecking order. You start, you get the worst patients, you have to be nice to coworker who is mocking you. You have to say you were wrong even you were not, to gain a permission to breath at your unit. While othe...

There also is not a law, that would say that questions like: rate on scale one to five (one is the least, five is the most) employee was always (whatever they want to) are illegal. Anyone can say whatever they want. Sometimes, it can happened, it is ...

Ok, just my two cents. If you come to work and regularly you will have a following scenario: Today you will have to take your usual assignment plus Jessica's patients because Jessica is being sent home, so hospital representative save money and can h...

Hey, that is true. It is very interesting topic to think about. I never seen a strike. No idea what is going on in reality. I can imagine hospitals which fire nurses who are trying to have established basic rights. Places where they delete overtimes ...

Hi, my friend is actually deciding what to do, and since she is shy, I told her to do Surg. Tech, and then if she wants she can go to nursing. I think it is great idea. I think there will be a lot of new things (I guess pharmacology and so on), but o...

Hi, that is great, that you find study buddy. It is very helpful. A&P class requires lot of memorizing. And understanding the concept. Logic thinking. Not only memorizing. But memorizing is huge part of it. But not one day cramming. If I can give...

Hi, that is what I did. I left job at hospital A for job at hospital B. Same type of work. Pretty much everything at hospital B is better. Now the hospital C walk in and give me an offer I seriously had never thoughts I would dare to apply for. And I...

Hi, I apologize if I did not write clearly. I worked in the hospital called "revolving door" for years. No complaints, no issues. After years, I decided it is time to move on. I landed a job in another hospital. (you click do not contact previous em...

Hi, what are the specifics? Why you called off? How impaired are you? Health issues, or something else? I am trying to understand

Hi, I think I might know what do you think. I noticed the trend myself. What I think is the reason that we who cares are pushed over and the cold hearted egoists succeed is this: First of all medicine is not what it used to be. It used to be done to ...

Hi, apply regardless. Most positions are anyway filled by contacts. (So someone who failed twice in nursing school will get hired two weeks after passing NCLEX into ICU, while someone who did years of volunteering, knows twice as much, worked as LPN....

Congratulations!!! It has to be great feeling! Lot of success at school!

Hi I have been thinking of it too. Excited for you. Wish you the best luck. And I am going to look forward to read your stories!
