2. New Assignment Nightmare!

   goodgyrl posted a topic in Travel

   Someone Please Help!!!!! I've been at my new assignment for 6 days and I thought everything was okay. Yesterday the charge RN approached me to say that they are watching me and that I am moving too slow (e.g. with discharges in the PACU). She went on...

3. Help....I'm being harassed in the workplace

   goodgyrl replied to goodgyrl's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately there isn't a union at this hospital. But fortunately for me, my work history speaks for itself and I've never had accusations like these before now. I've called my recruiter at my travel agency to ask for the clinical liaison. I'm pres...

   p.s. I also plan to leave asap. I just want my name cleared first.

5. Help....I'm being harassed in the workplace

   goodgyrl replied to goodgyrl's topic in General Nursing

   There is definitely something wrong on this unit because 50% of the workforce are new grads and the other 50% are travelers/agency. They are interviewing nurses like crazy but I don't see anyone new. One good reference I do have is that prior to comi...

6. Help....I'm being harassed in the workplace

   goodgyrl replied to goodgyrl's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks so much for your posts. I have contacted my agency but they haven't gotten back to me yet. The thing about agencies is that they are all about the money and I'm hoping that they won't believe/side with the hospital. I am a very quiet person...

   I am a travel RN and I began working on this particular med-surg unit in Oct. Around November I was asked if I wanted to sign a new contract that would carry me through Apr. '08 and I said yes. Shortly thereafter, I had a nightshift RN verbally ass...

    goodgyrl replied to goodgyrl's topic in General Nursing

    :) Thank you so much! This helps me so much. I just may possibly keep my current job and pickup some parttime agency work in a LTC facility to see how I like it. I would be working on first shift so I guess this would seem to be the more hectic shif...

11. What's the role of the charge RN @nsg. home?

    goodgyrl replied to goodgyrl's topic in General Nursing

    Well I notice that a lot of facilities list themselves as an alzheimer's unit so when I called this particular agency, I asked if I could refuse those such nsg. homes and they said "yes". But I do realize that sometimes I will come into contact with...

12. What's the role of the charge RN @nsg. home?

    goodgyrl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am approaching my first year of nursing and am very dissatisfied. I've been on the renal unit the entire time. What I realize is that I don't like caring for people that I end of seeing over and over again (frequent fliers), Alzheimer's patients,...
