I worked 12 hour shifts for 6 years and loved it...then our hospital switched us to 8's...it was awful. I felt like I was living at work never got to see my husband or friends. Worked 3/4 weekends, impossible to get vacation time. Stay with the 12s if you can

Hi, Just a quick question about CPR... In class they taught us 30 compressions and then 2 breaths. Someone was saying that during a code you give breaths the whole time cpr is happening?? Is this true?

Hi, I have been a nurse for 6 years and I have never been a target until now. The new unit I'm on is very cliquey and will look for thing you did wrong. They will tell you in private what you did wrong then continue to tell everyone else what you did. I have had staff slam doors in face, roll their eyes and completely ignore me. I feel like once people don't like you and tell their clique they have it in their head that working with me is going to be a "hard" day. I used to be a confident nurse, my old manager praised me on all my good work. Now my confidence is in the toilet. I dread going to work...I consider quitting nursing. When I come home from work all I want to do is have a pity cry. This experience has taught me to always be kind to people. When you hear other people talking bad about someone I will say something positive. This bullying culture must end. Ultimately it harms patients.
