  1. My one big issue

    stickit34 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't gotten a break since I started nights. At my hospital the day shift nurses get relieved by what's called a Churn nurse. Her job from 11a to 11p is to give breaks, do admissions, catch you up...

  2. I may be beating a dead horse.....but utterly bewildered!

    stickit34 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is doing something similar. They went on a hiring freeze and now that we're so short staffed it's worsening the scores even more, they've slowly been hiring nurses. But, we're always told...

  3. Burned out and hate nursing

    stickit34 replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Just closing in on my first year of nursing and I can say I'm feeling the burnout too. I can truly say I hate my job, which is on a tele med-surg, is always short-staffed with favoritism clearly...

    stickit34 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  12. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    stickit34 replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. The coveted Monday thru Friday job

    stickit34 replied to LTCNS's topic in General Nursing

    I'm one of the few who'd like a 8-5 M-F job. I absolutely hate off shift hours, including 12 hours. Sure you have three days of work per week, but half the time you'd be using for your own time you're...

  16. Are all nurses overworked and underpaid?

    stickit34 replied to bluebird2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Absolutely. But most people won't join together and raise their voices against these conditions for fear of losing their jobs. Hospitals nowadays are so customer-service focused that it would take...

  17. Abuse in Nursing

    stickit34 replied to stickit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so glad that there are people who also agree it isn't right! It gives me hope :) I like the idea of signing consent forms, because then the patient really knew that they were responsible for their...
