  1. **venting**

    Cola89 replied to bdbrdb's topic in Private Duty

    Money issues are the biggest cause of stress in marriages. While I understand your frustration (been there), I understand your husband's frustration (worry) too. Sounds to me like you might do better...

  2. Is this harassment by a family member?

    Cola89 replied to Sea_shell's topic in General Nursing

    Gross. Continue to report her to your supervisors and managers. You shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable at your job. This includes non-verbal communication. Since this family member actually works...

  3. MD to RN?

    Cola89 replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of it. I would try my best, meaning I would become willing to relocate almost anywhere in order to continue with my chosen health care sector training. Nurses have their own issues and...

  4. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Gave the required 2wks, got taken off the schedule a day earlier than that due to when the pay period ended. Is this normal? I am shocked because the unit isn't really well

  5. Getting Bored!!!!!

    Cola89 replied to nurseclh's topic in General Nursing

    I would keep my children in the school and friends they know. A move at the stage of life/schooling your children are in could (let's face it probably would) be very harmful to them!!! All because you...

  6. Worst SNF ever!

    Cola89 replied to snfnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I woulda quit too. It's sad you were put in a position where that was basically your only option. Hopefully, you will report what you saw to

  7. Can you recommend a medication?

    Cola89 replied to russianbear's topic in Patient Medications

    I would and have... but some doctors don't take kindly to that and rebel by ordering something unhelpful. Or wayward when the solution could be simpler. I've had the best luck getting what I want when...

  8. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't think it's right either. Doesn't come off as professional on their part. Good luck and hope you find a better job

  9. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I will take your words of wisdom. To tell the truth, I was wondering why nobody advocated for one another, or our unit at all. Not even our manager seemed to stick her neck out for her own unit. No...

  10. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How? If I needed to have off by a certain date, then my 2wks will be submitted in accordance with when my next job will start. I didn't check my schedule every single day (no extra time on that unit)....

  11. Safe to take new admit at shift change

    Cola89 replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    That's not right. They did that at the hospital I just left, too. It seemed like the nurses established to the floor thought they were getting away with something by giving the new nurse the worst...

  12. Changing mind about a job offer I rejected---Can I change my mind about that??

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's been two months... they informally offered me whichever job I wanted, but were moving too slow with the hiring process, they were reconfiguring the job description of the nurse manager position,...

  13. Completed my BSN

    Cola89 replied to Rhody34's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to

  14. Need reasons why becoming a nurse first, then becoming a doctor, is a bad idea

    Cola89 replied to jeaux's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about the possibility that they don't want to fund an 8 year education? Or that they don't believe you really know what you want and getting your RN would be better in such a case? I...

  15. Customer satisfaction callbacks

    Cola89 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh!! That. Is. TERRIBLE!!!

  16. Customer satisfaction callbacks

    Cola89 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...many patients don't need to be encouraged with their unhealthy choices and their lack of accountability for their own choices. It seems like more and more our society doesn't value work....

  17. What does a nurse manager do---LTC?

    Cola89 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is this a desirable job? What does it involve? I was offered a FT nurse manager position and a nurse supervisor position. The nurse manager position is salary (not a bad one) with every third weekend...

  18. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    Cola89 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    The ad IS offensive. You are NOT

  19. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow, do they even wonder WHY people are leaving? Or consider the fact that morale was low because of management or something else? Like unreasonable demands/schedule changes as you

  20. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, she took me off one day early. I have never been taken off the schedule earlier than the end of my 2wk notice. It wouldn't have bothered me, except my manager could have told me--- via email or...

  21. Gave 2wk notice, then taken off the schedule early... Really?!!

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think it was handled so rudely, though. This has me miffed because I could've accepted another offer 2 months ago but because I wanted to give this job a fair chance--- the opportunity is now gone!...

  22. Sad story of an ex-new grad nurse

    Cola89 replied to furelite's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. In all honesty, it sounds like you don't need the stress of hospital work right now. Jobs will come and go Your health is something far more important. Even if your...

  23. Nurses in clinical setting: physicians servant or patients caregiver?

    Cola89 replied to sharifi9879's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Physicians are servants to big pharma and the hospitals, depending on their specialty. Nurses should be more of a patient-doctor liaison, but with the way the health care (this includes insurance...

  24. Circumstances it's OK to quit without notice??

    Cola89 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well... I gave the company's required 2wk notice. I got taken off the schedule a day early because of when the pay period ended. No one told me and my manager could've mentioned it in person when she...

  25. Older student trying to find the right fit

    Cola89 replied to supermom44's topic in School

    You might consider LTC... there will be a lot of patients, but there is a routine to it that you might appreciate. All nursing has one degree of stress or another to it, but in my experience, LTC is...
