Most places let you off for 2-3 days and then require a doctors note. If you need more days then you need to use FMLA or your PTO or sick leave. If she's this unreliable then somebody needs to talk to her, if it continues then she should be fired or take the needed FMLA if she's going through some personal things. But what I haven't heard you say is that you have brought this up to the right people, there is nothing wrong with venting, but venting to a bunch of strangers on the internet fixes nothing-go to HR or the DON if this bothers you so much and is making your life unmanageable.

I don't know why anyone would ever attend West Coast University, the cost is ridiculous. If I ever spent that kind of money then I better be a medical doctor by the end of it. I'm not sure what your financial situation is but if you want to get a masters after that then you are going to have a stupid amount of debt. It doesn't pass the common sense test even if you are fabulously wealthy.

If you wake up from your nap and start freaking out because you think you missed the school bus only to remember it's Sunday and you're 34.... No, just me? Cool....

Imprudent? What year is it?! Here ye, here ye, dost thou profane tongue offend thee? I beesech you!? Anyways, I cuss at work. But then again, I know my audience. I wouldn't just swear in front of anybody. I have a co-worker who hates cursing and I never do in front of her. I think you just need to read the room, some people are cool with it and some aren't. I don't cuss in front of the patients though, so I'm sorta professional I guess.

Soap for the patient's to wash with. Pillows, blankets. But yeah, that's psych for ya.

Sleeping with the patient.....

I switched jobs when I was 5 months pregnant. I was in a really acute psych hospital and it wasn't safe. It is NOT ideal. You need to be at a job for a year to get FMLA if you don't have sick time, which you won't. My job was nice enough to let me take 8 weeks off or I literally would have had my son and been back to work in like 2 weeks. Don't do it, they have no obligation to keep you. The maternity leave in this country is trash, we don't even separate puppies from their mothers until they are 8 weeks but with humans nobody gives ****.

I did my associates there, it's an easy school. I can't imagine the BSN would be hard either. My husband is currently getting his BA from there, no issues.

I don't think so, she told you to leave and you did. I won't be threatened or harassed and neither should you, she can't yell and curse at you. You felt unsafe and she told you to beat it, that's on her. Deuces ✌️

Ahhh yes, I remember those days. I was a CNA a long time ago. But know this, this isn't just a problem for CNA's this is an issue for other nurses. I am on nightshift and the dayshift is useless, well...some of them are. Just lazy and unmotivated and pass off a lot of their work to nightshift because they think we just sit here and eat chips and watch Netflix all night....um, no. Anyways, it's a thing almost everywhere unfortunately.

I forgot to mention I briefly spoke to a girl who went for PMHNP but she had a bad experience and is pursuing litigation. I don't know why though.

Yeah, their PA program is really good too. This school has only been around since 1998 and I have no idea how old the actual PMHNP is. I start in Summer.

I don't have any, I am starting in Summer. I have to pay the $250 then I guess I just sit around and wait for class to start. The director lady I interviewed stated that there isn't hardly group work which is nice, it will mostly be forums, unless you need to do the 3 P's then obviously tests. I will be transferring in my 3 P's. She also said a lot of the people in the program continue to work, which isn't an option for me, I have to work but it seems like this program is doable.

There are only a couple posts on this school on here. But I applied to the post-PMHNP program and was accepted. I have read good things online, but am wondering if anybody else has gone to this school? Or know someone who has?

It wouldn't matter what you did for a living. Asking people about their jobs is what people do to make light conversation and pleasantry. I think you're being way too sensitive about this and putting too much thought into it. Do you not ask people about how their work is going? Nobody asked you to tell any war stories of the hospital....We're nurses not Bruce Wayne, it's not like we have to keep our identities hidden. Just answer something short, sweet and to the point and move on with your day...
