I was so excited to get a job at the largest healthcare system in my state. They have an excellent reputation, all of my peers enjoy working there, and I was offered great pay and great benefits. I knew it was a Catholic hospital, and even though I a...

You do not know me, my family, or my finances so please do not act like you do.

I work 32 hrs/week at my full time job and 24 at my prn. One tele and one ltach. I can't live off 32 hrs/wk.

Wow OP, it looks like you've been a nurse for almost a whole week, but maybe when you actually get experience you will see that sitting at the nurses station (even if you are on your phone) doesn't mean that you have "adaquate staff to attend to the ...

50 miles one way, about an hour drive. There are no jobs in my area.

no we are ruining it for you because you do not belong here, please take the "hint" and stop posting. We have to explain things over and over again to you so please take yourself out of the conversations. As already addressed, this site is for medica...

Why post on a forum that you didn't do a one minute search on to see that it is meant to be nurses/students/cna's and not the general public??? Or maybe you did and just want to vent about nurses neglecting patients at the hospital of your father whe...

You should have found out how long the training would be before accepting the position as it varies greatly based on position/experience/hospital.

I always have my brain sheet with all patient info/labs/tests on it during the rrt so I can answer all questions.

I don't understand how this is a med error unless the nurse that entered the orders based on the first discharge instructions and gave the medications did not contact the physician before she saved the orders and administered the meds. Anywhere that...

It doesn't get any easier after orientation. I had homework but it was easier in a way because I was not responsible for the patients ultimately- my preceptor was always there to guide, help, and ensure I wasn't missing anything. This is my first mon...

Are you a new nurse? These are all common things at every facility/floor I have worked on. If I told on every floor this happens on then I would not have a job and not just at one facility/floor. It will be impossible for you to find a job where nurs...

Would I tell the BON that I had a relapse? Absolutely not!!! You had a relapse, you are not using now. Does having a relapse mean that you shouldn't be able to practice nursing? In your situation, I do not think that it constitutes that punishment! I...

And you say this because they did not automatically agree with you and gives some attitude back to your post that is saturated with superiority? Sad.

Oh so every nurse that you deem "good", you ask if they were previously a CNA? Every nurse that you deem "bad", you also ask if they were a CNA previously? I can not count the number of times that my NA has gotten their lunch and their other entitled...

You know that the person who came up with this are not direct care staff! I can see the purpose of MyChart, but not the messaging feature. It will be abused and staff will be pushed for time even more. On their website it says "overdue upgrade from t...

They stated that they have special technology in the tablets so that they will not work if taken out of the building, and so they can track them at all times and know if they are taken out.

We are expected to do bedside report at our hospital, there are signs at nursing stations stating that managers are checking for compliance, but none of my preceptors have ever done bedside report the 3 months that I have been there- including manage...

I am 24, started contributing to my company's 403b when I started at 23. My company matches 50% of up to 7% of salary. I contribute 7%. Next month they are going to start matching up to 8%, so I will increase my contribution amount to that. This is m...

I am a Ohio RN, but yes it is within the LPN scope of practice to give injections in Ohio. The LPN's in the LTC that I worked in all gave injections. Maybe the facility the other LPN works in doesn't allow their LPN's to give injections, although I h...

They are making more than me. As a RN I am making $890 every two weeks after taxes, 6% retirement, and health insurance- and this is the highest paying hospital of the area. It makes a huge difference that these hospitals only hire nurses for 32 hrs/...

All hospitals in my area only hire nurses for variable shifts. They will have you for nights one day, off the next day, and days for the next. So you get home from nights must stay awake all day so you can sleep for days that nights. I cannot believe...

In my area it is very easy to get a job with an ADN, so many of my classmates have not returned to school. Although the major hospitals in the area are now requiring ADN's to have their BSN's within 5 years- so most do have plans to go back. I gradua...
