    Saying No to extra shifts, is it bad if you're new?

    Salisburysteak replied to AngelaB236's topic in General Nursing

    Email from dfpr??

    I cannot believe that an informational email from your state BON has you offended. If the e-mail does not pertain to you, delete it and move on with your day!

    Work asking all the time if I can work extra At work and home

    Salisburysteak replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing is not the OPs problem. You do not owe anyone any extra shifts. Learning to say no is not the end of the world. This whole nurse as a martyr needs to stop! If staffing/ scheduler only rely on...

    Salisburysteak replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing issues are NOT your problem! Stop feeling guilty for not working extra. I never do and the scheduler knows this so, she never asks me to work anymore. You are a team player; you go to work as...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Salisburysteak replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    1.). I personally do not have my work listed or occupation listed on social media. A pet peeve of mine is bathroom selfies of nurses and nurses station selfies! UGH can’t stand it! Just do not say...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Salisburysteak replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I do have a question. Since you have a BSN, why aren’t you an RN? Why have a degree that you really cannot use. Your scope as an LPN is limited. I do not know if that question has been asked and...

    This type of report is good. I do like knowing little things like that. It helps with the med pass. What frustrates me is that certain things were not done on day shift when the providers are in the...

    Why did you choose that nursing program (current or past)?

    Salisburysteak replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    I did a Bridge program at my local community college. I was very happy with the outcome. I was able to pay for it out of pocket. The ADN program is the largest in my state, and the NCLEX pass rates...

    In a perfect world, how would YOU like to see nursing education improved?

    Salisburysteak replied to WestCoastSunRN's topic in General Nursing

    I like all the ideas mentioned. I agree with having clinical instructors actually teach clinicals! I would increase the number of hours for entry into an APRN/NP school. It disturbs me that a brand...

    Salisburysteak replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    My thought is that you really do not want to be a nurse. You just see being a nurse as a paycheck not a career; this is why you are struggling and have been to three different schools! If the Arts are...
