please think about leaving nursing.....instead LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB..... nobody has the right to put you down....thats wrong....we are nurses:nurse: and not perfect..when someone gives you a "job load" thats soooo hard to complete and than they complain about it????..thats........!!! .Iam sorry that you have to experience this...my best wishes to you in the future:nuke:

:redbeatheHEY...thank you so much....for your input but also for being honest...I know that you are right and you did not discourage me....

how do I get overcome the fear and what ifs related to starting my new job as a agency nurse...I feel stupid....because Im not a new nurse...my first assignment is on a LTC unit and I wonder how many Residents they have...foleys...g-tubes..dressings..and will I get done in time...and if not will the facility think that Im tooo slow? Has anyone had the same feelings when they started out with agency for the first time?

:yeah:no disrespect but i busted out laughing...that blows my mind because.. ....sorry:lol2:...it reminded me of a situation at work where a fairly new nurse looked at me while i was inserting the cath....as if i was killing the man.(you know how you have to insert almost all of it)but don`t worry i used to question nurses too when i was new....and thats how i learned....:nuke:

dolce; YOU ARE THE BEST..THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT.:) this is what I was looking for ...some advice...from those that are not new to this agency work...I mean I know that Iam not a new nurse but the what ifs....creep up on me:(..I think I can do this..again thank you and all that responded:redbeathe.marina

husker rn; thank you sooo much for your reply...it helps..knowing Iam not the only one and for nurses like you .......:))

hello everyone....I have been an lpn for 4 years with experience in ltc and phyc-nursing:). Here is my problem;I was hired by an agency...they are all nice But...my first assignment will start in a few weeks on a saturday..LTC...no orientation was offered:(and I want to call them and ask but have not had the nerves to do so because I don`t want to start off on the foot at the same time Iam really worried:uhoh21:especially since my first day is on a saturday......usually not a lot of staff....could anyone....please respond with some advice..I would really appreciated..thanks:nurse:

Depending on which agency..I think that you can take the test again..just tell them you got nervous:nurse:..hope this helps..after all THEY make $ of you:nuke:.

:yeah:that was sooo funny but true:)

I would councel the nurse and ask her why..write down what she/he is saying about it..then maybe highlight the names on the MARS..ask all the nurses for input..in regards to improve future medication passes..showing a plan of correction with proven results.Question..were the names similar? Hope this helps a little:nurse:

Iam so sorry that this happen to you..i know fully what you are describing..sort of..I you dont play...we make you pay..as long as you are quiet and do your job play the BLIND person than your IN..your...cool.But oh my God watch out if you are actually trying to advocate for your patients and step out of line than you become the target..for doing the right thing. Red..thank you for stepping up to the plate..we NEED more nurses like YOU. The patients are usually quiet...but they notice nurses like you and are thankful for trying to help.I wish you well:).

YES..I HAD A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE AND I DID NOT GET FIRED BUT LEFT AND THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET OVER IT.YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE PAIN..I THINK IT IS A MATTER OF NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPEN AND WHY.. FOR ME I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DO THE RIGHT THING..WITH LITTLE SUPPORT.. AT TIMES IT IS HARD BEING A NURSE..BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT CNA`S ARE THE BACKBONE OF EVERY FACILITY..IT CAN GET DIFFICULT DOING YOUR JOB,AND PLEASE IAM NOT KNOCKING CNA`S..I WAS ONE MYSELF FOR MANY MANY YEARS.
