Kristen This is my story exactly!!! I can't tell you how many jobs I've had where I'd shared the personal tragedy in my life, was hired anyway, doing well ----and then BAM! I knew it the very instant that 'word got out'. People treated me different! Like I was invisible. They talked down to me, ignored me, etc. and eventually I'd be fired. I am sick of it. NancyNurse

July 2, 2012 Unfortunately, I just now happened across this information regarding potential winnings from a great article about nursing experiences! It is past the deadline, but I am wondering if there is an extension for any reason, or if there is going to be another chance at this? It seems like a great way to encourage nurses to share their personal work-related stories. I have many years invested in nursing and the number of moving encounters with patients and their families are too numerous to count. However, there are a couple of scenarios that truly touched my heart and always come to mind when looking back over my years in nursing. I also love to write so am sorry I missed this opportunity! Perhaps it will surface again! Sincerely, nancynurse57

Geez, I would think that if there is only one RN, that meetings should be brought in as opposed to going out for meetings. That would cut down on all the contraband and ceiling checks. If a patient wants to use drugs, he/she will find a way, and that person shouldn’t be taking up a bed for a more serious person that wants to stop. What about mandatory urine checks, the positive ones leave and the others stay? Treatment facilities should be for those that want help in arresting their illness. nancynurse57
