  1. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I started working weekends in March (I still work weekdays) and the weekend nursing supervisor has been extremely flirtatious towards me. He makes sexually suggestive comments towards me, holds my...

  2. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for all the kind words and concerns. I appreciate it. Things did get worse and it got to the point that I hated going to work. He drove past my house a couple of times and used to say things...

  3. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work next weekend, so I will have more to say then. I am already feeling anxious about what to say and how to handle talking to my supervisor. I found out that my nursing supervisors are not the...

  4. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure if it is illegal but I would get fired for this. Cell phones are not allowed out at work. To record anyone at the hospital, regardless of the reason, would be grounds for immediate...

  5. Staff turnover

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing

    What are some of the problems that your unit has which is causing the high turnover? What are you doing or plan to do to help facilitate change? The nurses on my Med/Surg unit try to help each other...

  6. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a little concerned about people being able to identify me based on my comments. I think the odds of that happening are slim though. I doubt he is a member, but there's no way to know for sure....

  7. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am looking at switching departments, but that doesn't change anything because he oversees the entire hospital. I floated to a different department last Sunday and he saw me just as much as when I...

  8. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have read every post and thank you for taking your time to comment on this. I will start telling him no and that it makes me uncomfortable. I am a very passive person and I avoid conflict, so this...

  9. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I haven't told him. He travels out of the country all the time and I only see him for a couple of days every 6-8 weeks. This is why I didn't have to work weekends for a long time, because I am the...

  10. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm truly sorry this happened to you. So far I have only felt concern once- when he came up to me at my car as I was getting ready to go home after work. He only talked to me briefly- asked what my...

  11. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe your right, but I really don't want it to look like I'm overreacting if I report it. I also think I might lose my job if I tell someone in HR. He's been working at this hospital for years. I...

  12. Taking time off...

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to CAL3's topic in General Nursing

    I know a nurse that was hired after taking 15 years off. She only received 6 weeks of orientation and she struggled her first year but she's doing great now. Be sure you keep up with all your CEs for...

  13. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I want to make it clear that I LOVE my job. I'm concerned that saying anything will jeopardize my job in some way. Other people have witnessed this, but I never kept a journal. I really didn't think...

  14. Is money everything in this profession?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the minority here. Nursing is a second career. It was my chance to fulfill a dream that I always wanted. I never once did this for the money. Thankfully I am married and my husband makes a very...

  15. Is money everything in this profession?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't take an oath. I also did not go to my graduation ceremony or the candle lighting ceremony. None of those things are

  16. need advice

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to jojo_2014's topic in General Students

    I disagree with some of these comments. I do not recommend buying an NCLEX book at this point, nor do I recommend trying to learn about prioritization at this point in your schooling career. In my...

  17. New to 12's and skin is breaking out! Any tips?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to abbyolivia1's topic in General Nursing

    Try eliminating everything new (makeup, cleanser), and if your skin clears up, then add one new product every week or so. Cleaning your face too frequently can increase breakouts too. If you use an...

  18. recent nclex RN takers, which prep did you use?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to corann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not everyone learns the same way, which is why people hear mixed reviews about different NCLEX prep classes and companies. Kaplan focuses more on strategy and emphasizes practicing questions. This...

  19. Exam in 2 days........

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't spend time on pharm. The chances of you receiving many pharm questions is slim, and when you do, you might not recognize the drug. (Don't forget that only generic names are used on the NCLEX.)...

  20. Pearson Vue trick

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to bna04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For anyone trying the PVT, I recommend not using a completely valid credit card. Change the expiration date, use a gift card with very little money on it, etc. You will either get the good pop-up, a...

  21. Is it just me??

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to byfaith89's topic in General Students

    Lots of people feel this way. I was one of them. When people asked what specialty I wanted to go into, I would be honest and say that I did not know yet and that I was leaving my options open. As...

  22. Passed the NCLEX 2015

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Nurseresrey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! It's a wonderful feeling when all of that hard work pays

  23. How To Prepare For Fundamentals HESI Exam

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to pjmiller's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I received the highest fundamentals HESI score in my nursing class-- over 99%. Here is what I did: I didn't study a lot for it, but I did review a "Quick Facts" or "Just the Facts" handbook that went...

  24. VALOR Nurse Externship Program

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to claire43's topic in General Students

    I had an interview for the Valor program and it was a tough interview. Just stay clam and be yourself. Some of the questions I remember were: "Tell me about a time when you provided excellent...

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to twinkerrs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Very encouraging words! I think we All have our moments when we doubt our abilities. It's so nice to hear about your success :) I struggle too. I have two children, one with a learning disability and...
