Delia37 MSN

For anyone looking from MSN preceptors, I highly encourage you to contact the nursing directors of your local community colleges/universities. That is what I did when my hospital educator left me hanging; and the 3 directors I contacted, responded ba...

I feel like I am missing something; all this negative energy spends on a stranger... I hope your practice is not affected when working with this individual, since you seem so distracted by her. Someone mentioned you had this negative fixation on some...

I am curious, why do feel that you need to disclose that information to HR??

It is not that deep, let it go. It is an ego thing.

As an ICU nurse...Sedated and intubated.

I agree with the above poster. These interactions (eye rolling and what not) need to be addressed in real time; meaning, when it occurs, pull the person aside and had that conversation. That way, if it happens again and it needs to be escalated, the ...

Makes you wonder what else they are doing "as a team". Is there any way they can be scheduled on different dates or far away from each other?? That definitely should be addressed by your manager (not you), so she/he can keep a paper trail (hate the ...

This does not sound like a good fit for you. As many had mentioned, start applying in other places, but definitely leave this one out of your resume.

Interesting discussion. To the OP, sorry for the bad experience. Going to a hospital for any reason, is already stressful enough, without adding feeling like a child who did something wrong. I don't know about you guys; I do know I would have reques...

...I guess the hydration aspect of it, can be helpful.

Wow...this is crazy. I totally get what you mean. I am lucky to work in a facility that employs really big security guards and all they have to do is show up. I would say 85% of the time, patient/visitor immediately "calm down" as soon as they see se...

Please, stay out of it. Let your daughter handle it.

To answer your question, personally I've never come across this practice (been in ICU for 21 years). I agree with JBM; this seems unnecessary and frankly, very unsafe. The manager and the educator (s) need to step up and provide guidance and counseli...

Honestly, I would probably go these routes, rather than take the employer's offer. She makes it sound like it is impossible to find an apartment.

...and they even bothered to report you to the BRN?!! Did you have other prior issues? There has to be more to this because, there is no way!

Also make sure your loans are consolidated (the requirement is for, at least, 120 payments). Mine were not and I was denied, even though I've been paying into it all these years and work at an approved facility.

...It kind of amazes me that this need to be explained to trained professionals.

For the reasons you had mentioned, I've conditioned myself to travel alone (which I prefer, most of the time). facebook offer several groups for solo travelers to connect; personally, I like "Host A Sister" to connect with locals for a meal or drink...

I've used the FB groups, "Rent to Travel Nurses and other travel professionals" and "Travel Nurse Housing-The Gypsy Nurse" when traveling out of state. There you can find everything from a single room rental to a whole place for yourself. Graig list ...

...It is the lack of common sense, for me 🤨🤨

Hope you found someone by now; if not, consider reaching out to your local community colleges and universities (found out the name of the program director and email them).

That is one of the beauty of nursing, there are so many specialties to chose from. If changing specialties is not something you would contemplate; consider going back to school for something else, while financing it with your nursing career. Only yo...

Agree with the previous posts...they don't know you. Make sure to offer your assistance to others and show interest in the more complicated cases by stopping by and offering to assist those nurses. Also, take a step back and evaluate if you are appro...

This is beyond bizarre. Was there an official announcement/policy about this or the phone calls just started coming in, out of nowhere? You and your co-workers should request a staff meeting with management/HR to provide clarification about the situ...

They absolutely dropped the ball in this case. In what type of setting do you work?? are you dealing with new nurses??
