  1. So... I failed. But I am ready to fight further

    GingerSue replied to jascraft's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Either way - sounds like you'll keep your positive view, thank goodness. I've heard various things that happened to others when writing an exam - but, even when one failed her exam, she still...

    Hey - enjoyed a good

  3. Help!! Problem with charting

    GingerSue replied to RN1212's topic in General Nursing

    Hope it works out okay for

  4. How do you know if you have what it takes

    GingerSue replied to Shell26's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi Shell26 - these are good suggestions above, and I had thought of the volunteering possibility as a suggestion - but - I didn't do that - I decided earlier in the year, was accepted, then just...

  5. Want to be a Nurse, But Terrified!

    GingerSue replied to Lara J's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi Lara - I was happy in my nursing jobs, probably because I had good training that provided me with the foundations to be very organized. If you have the motivation to pursue this field, that'll...

  6. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    GingerSue replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    No, I was never ashamed of being a nurse. It has been the attitude of others (non-nurses) that has made me wonder about "their" lack of awareness of what nursing is about. Why would I be ashamed of...

  7. Rude and crude RN

    GingerSue replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Have to admit that phrase "idiotic notions" makes me wonder if you've understood why any of the patients would ask what you are doing in their room? Did you intrude into the room or was the patient...

  8. Poll about bullies at work.

    GingerSue replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    I left a non-nursing job and the bullying there was unpleasant - so here goes for that place: (1) yes, a culture of gossip existed in the workplace - sometimes I wondered if certain people just made...

  9. Just been fired :(

    GingerSue replied to sax_journey's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't put your co-workers in an awkward position if you ask for a reference - whoever you ask can either say yes or can decline. I'm sure there is someone and maybe more who noticed your...

  10. I need prayers, I may be fired

    GingerSue replied to medsurgnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hoping for you. Worker's compensation was the first thing that came to my mind - could you check this

  11. We make as much as maids

    GingerSue replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my sister hired a housekeeper and paid her $20/hr regularly - but that meant this woman had nothing to cover her for EI nor did this kind of cash payment contribute to any kind of government...

  12. Just been fired :(

    GingerSue replied to sax_journey's topic in General Nursing

    Are there any of your former teachers who you could contact for references? Any other employers, even in a different line of work, you could ask them. Have you done volunteer work - you could ask...

  13. Rude and crude RN

    GingerSue replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Their behaviour was not appropriate towards you if you did not want these intereactions. I've seen male staff targeted by a female supervisor, I noticed her scapegoating him at a staff meeting for no...
