  1. Job Hopping? Unhappy New Nurse

    I'll echo what others have said and tell you to please see a doctor for your anxiety/chest pain. Also, try to do some self reflection to see if you have in fact caused any of the problems at work...
  2. Need Advice, No Longer Able To Be A Nurse

    First, I'm so sorry about your child (and the other children). I hope you all can find peace and healing soon. I didn't read the other comments so I'm not sure if anyone else said this, but...
  3. Do not return list

    You don't have to tell us, but try to think about if there was anything else. Maybe you disagreed with one of their employees or said something that someone perceived as rude? Or maybe they kept...
  4. Should I stay or go?

    I would take the new job, without a doubt. If your current job valued you, they would have done these things already instead of waiting until you found something else. I'm at a job now where my...
  5. I too was really struggling financially when I was in nursing school and prepping for NCLEX. I couldn't afford much for preparing for the exam. So I understand. I went to book shops like...
  6. Negative Nancy?

    I've never experienced mental health issues personally, but both my parents were very mentally ill. When I was a psych nurse, my experiences with my parents really helped me to understand my patients...
  7. New RN who wants to skip the hospital.

    Personally, I think it will be difficult to get into OP settings you mentioned without any type of bedside experience, but not necessarily a hospital. I never worked in a hospital but worked in a...
  8. How to deal with Nosy Co-Workers?

    I was floored by that. Even my boss and her boss were in on it. Asking me how much we put down, what's our mortgage, how many bedrooms and where do all our kids sleep. My friends don't even ask me...
  9. How to deal with Nosy Co-Workers?

    I'm a bit late to this, and my opinion may be a bit unpopular, but here goes... OP, I became an RN in my early 20s as well and have been working in general since age 14. I'm middle aged now so I've...
  10. I'm surprised you're allowed to work as a tech. In my state, a nurse cannot work under their license. I thought that was in every state. I'm with you tho...I'm a follower too. So I totally get...
  11. Spouse of nurse

  12. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    I saw your other response and I didn't think a reply from me was necessary. I clearly stated throughout my posts that this is my opinion. I also fully support vaccines (except flu). I'm not sure...
  13. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    I live in NJ but in the NYC area, my company is in NYC. Insurance jobs are fairly easy to get in my area, even with not a lot of experience. I had 3 months experience in the hospital, then a little...
  14. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Sure, you're welcome. That is the main point anti vax people go for....that it's linked to autism, there was only one study done about that. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the person who put out...
  15. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    IMO, anyone who puts their children and others at risk are nutters. Our kids don't know these things, it's up to us to keep them safe. And I'm sure you would agree these parents were...
  16. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Um... because most of the anti vaxxer nutters believe vaccines are linked to
  17. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Me. I had less than 6 months of experience before getting into this industry. Some of my coworkers as well Just because that was your experience doesn't mean it's not true. I always find it...
  18. Vaccination for clinical

    If you're worried about preservatives in your body, I hope you don't eat any processed foods or go out to eat. I'm sure you cook everything from scratch and make all your own body products. I'm also...
  19. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    A nurse doesn't even really needs tons of acute care experience to work in the HMO field. Just gotta be a nurse! There is a Blue Cross/Blue Shield in most states, start with them. Try Aetna, United...
  20. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    I know my opinion may not be very popular, but those parents, and other anti-vaxxers, should have their kids removed and vaccinated by the state. If you are willing to put your kids thru tetorifice,...
  21. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    I did not read all the replies so I'm not sure if anyone else covered this already. IMO, the best positions for those who can't stand too long are in the insurance industry. I am always telling...
  22. I've come to the conclusion this guy doesn't want any advice or tips, he just wants everyone to agree with him and stroke his ego. He has answered rudely to everyone and now has no comment at all....
  23. Insulting pay raise

    Do you have to work nights only or can you do other shifts? If so, look into other settings. There are quite a few places where nurses don't work weekends....home care, hospice, insurance, doctor...
