So I'm graduating in 3 more weeks, and the more I think about the graduation and pinning ceremony, I kind of just don't want to go. This is my second time in college, so I've done the graduation thing before and I'm just kind of over it. I'm tired an...

New hospice RN here. I am really starting to wonder about a couple of our office nurses. I've been called out for "emergency" visits this week for: a nosebleed (pt on o2 with dry sinuses- caregiver did not use moisturizer as instructed), trembling ha...

I just placed another order at Uniform Advantage, and they gave me free shipping. Maybe it has to be over $100 for the free shipping? This is my second time buying their Butter Soft Scrubs. The first time, my employer made me embroider my scrubs, so ...

Perhaps because I don't fit the qualifications she listed?

How are you sure what the instructor wanted? You aren't. I've had professors give out assignments that didn't require an in-person interview. And the nature of these interviews is such that it would be very obvious if the person answering the questi...

People on AN are very reluctant to help students with these type of assignments. It's really a shame.

Thanks guys. But the interview is set up in a way that it is approved to do through email. Again, if anyone is interested, please reach out.

Hi. I would greatly appreciate it if I could interview a maternity nurse, or any nurse, about her/his experiences with patients who are pregnant with diabetes. This is for a school assignment. I would be happy to compensate you $20 for your time.

After graduating, I was hired onto a specialty unit where I worked for 4 months. During the 4 months I worked there, I started to have a medical problem that interfered with work. I had two syncopal episodes at work and just felt horrible at work. I ...

Thanks guys. If I can squeak by financially until February, I'll be eligible for rehire at the hospital. It's not assured that they'll give me a position though. What is a potential employer allowed to ask me regarding my medical situation?

He sounds young. Nice how he assumed because you're female that you'd be crying about some trivial thing. I had a preceptor like that- she would try to set me up to not get meds done as fast as she wanted so she could berate me (usually in front of ...

Anyone know of places upstate that are hiring new grads? I'm currently in NYC and looking to get out of this crazy area. I'm not originally from New York and not familiar with any of the cities upstate. What can you tell me? I'd love to get on at a h...

My employer constantly calls me in on my days off, and it's making me want to lose it. I don't mean that they just call and say "can you come in" and I have to say no. I mean, they keep on calling and harassing me and texting and telling me how much ...

Four months into my first job as a new nurse. I found the ubiquitous NETY situation to be very different from what many have described. The experienced nurses on my unit are awesome. They know things, are happy to give advice/guidance in a quick, exp...

This is an ongoing battle. We had five nurses quit because of this a couple of months ago. Management does not care about us. It's all we can do to get a float when our census goes up. They will not schedule enough staff ahead of time. Meanwhile, we ...

Well, unfortunately this is what has happened. The management threw a couple of temper tantrums at me last week when I decided to put a stop to this. Management came up to the floor to harass me while I was on shift and tell me that I need to be a te...

That's why I put "not so NETY" as the title.

I hope this is in the right place. I need to rant about the decline of professionalism in doctor's offices. I went in for my regular appointment the other day, and my old doctor isn't there anymore. There's a new guy. He looks like he's twelve years ...

I have a social media account, and on the account I only add people I know personally. However, I have encountered a problem anyway- there was a discussion about gay rights, and I said something somebody disagreed with. I said that whether you agree ...

I'm in the process of applying to St. Joseph's and wondering if anyone works there or has applied there and can tell me about the interview/hiring process. Also, can you guys give me some guidance about apartment complexes and neighborhoods that are ...

I'm a new nurse and am orienting on an oncology unit. The patients on the unit are extremely ill and many are on neutropenic precautions. I caught a bug and have a fever, and it's obvious if you hear me talk that I'm sick. I feel like total crap. I ...

It's true, I feel bad even though I'm an orientee and they can all do fine without me (and probably have less work without me, actually). Thanks, I will get better soon and will avoid giving the monkey pox to others.

I know, you are right. I guess I just wanted to hear other people say it. I just called my employer and they said not to come in. I guess I was afraid they would prioritize my working over the safety of the patients. They are great employers though, ...

First name Larvae. A baby boy named Manly. I went to school with a girl named Latrina and a girl named LaQuinta, and worked with a man named Chablis. Went to college with a girl named Delia who insisted her name was pronounced "Delila" and a girl w...

Well, the thing is that I do only have people I know personally on social media, and all those people know I'm a nurse. I don't have my place of employment listed on there, but it wouldn't take much research if you know me to figure out exactly where...
