I am attempting to put together some of the scary situations I have experienced in my nursing career. Not the patient scary things but the nurse on nurse issues. The drama, the back stabbing, the blame game. I have a list of them including a nurse ma...

This is a Message sent to me in regard to the "crap" people have replied to my posting...great example of professionalism you guys are putting out here. Such compassion and caring attitudes put out by many of you. After my first thread I am cancellin...

Oh my God...enough. Thank you for your input, despite not asking for your input, I have received it. Enough! I asked for stories and if you don't want to give a story, then move on...enough already!

This is not research. I was just looking for some ideas to research. Also this is not every place I have worked. 3 bad employers, in over 15 years, out of 8 in 3 different geographical areas. At my last job I was given $12,000 a year in raises while ...

yeah...not a NETY problem...My title is NETY and more...looking for more examples of unfair treatment...thousands of examples...just looking for a new idea, but no one is giving ideas, they are focusing on all the wrong parts and not giving what I or...

WoosahRN, She wasn't teaching me, she was taking report from me...bug difference.

OMG...I AM JUST GIVING EXAMPLES OF PROBLEMS...NOT STATING THIS IS MY PROBLEM. I had a tough nurse to report to at my first nursing job...15+ years ago....and she made me a better nurse...was it stressful, yes...am I permanently damaged by this? No. I...

And many seem to be pulled into this...if you don't approve of the forum, why do you keep posting in?

I'm not doing research...just looking for ideas

T-Bird79, Thank you...this is what I was looking for...It sucks when you don't have the support from management.

Thank you...this is what I was looking for...It sucks when you don't have the support from management.

HoneyBeGood...thank you! Although I have 2 decades on you, 2 previous careers, and 15+ years in nursing...and I also don't get it. In a posting I made about nurse on nurse sabotage, the reply's I got were rude, critical, and overly concerned with my ...

Everyone is really getting stuck on this NETY thing. The title of the post also says "and more." I was looking for other examples of nurses treating nurses badly...not just NETY...I have been a nurse for 15 years and not claiming NETY...Again...I was...

WoosahRN, Oh, and by the way...I am not one of the "younger" staff. I am pushing 50 and I've been a RN for over 15 years. I am almost done with my masters degree. I really was not trying to focus this whole thread on NETY. It was just an example of...

I had a nurse in my first job who raked me over the coals every morning. I would be coming off a 12 hour night shift and she would drill me...over stuff that didn't even pertain to report...What does GERD mean? You should have done this and did you d...

ShillaBSN, Thank you, but it is okay. I don't know if some people get offended by the "everything is not always rosy" in nursing attitude, but I know that in someways I am making myself a target because I don't just sit by when something is not righ...

I really was just looking for some ideas of directions to go into, not fact. There is an interesting feed on nursing and politics here. I just feel that at times we do make it more difficult for ourselves always playing blame games and petty competit...

Oh, I absolutely agree that there is always 2 sides and I could not possibly go into all details in a posting, but I was let go 1 week before I would have been there long enough for the union to be involved and in my state anytime a nurse is let go ...

Give notice and get out! I have learned through the years that if they want you gone, they will find a reason, and you do not want that reason to be something that may effect your license. What I have learned is a total distrust (wow, really cynical)...

katonk, I am in a rural area of upstate NY. We have no BSN programs in the immediate area, hence a shortage of BSNs. I am in a RN-Masters distance learning program, but at the SNF I work in, I am the most educated. Even my DON is an ADN nurse!

I'm a Staff Development Coordinator in a Long Term Care Facility in upstate NY...I have 11 years experience and I make 23/hour. Long term facilities do not pay anywhere near the amount that hospitals pay...you take the lower pay for the better hours.

I went to a peds unit right out of nursing school and loved it...Anyway, If there only 4 beds for peds on the unit, I would guess that these are not a high acquity cases...my guess would be that the really sick kids are sent somewhere else...this wou...

odinhoub2422: i would check into what the qualifications are for your area. i am a adn and i have worked public health, school nurse, and taught in a lpn program, and i am currently a staff educator. i think every area is different. we have a shortag...

If you search the Excelsior website, somewhere on there it lists the 3 regional offices for the preceptor thing. You should be able to contact the office for FL and they should be able to let you know where your closest clinical site is. If I find th...
