  1. Scheduled to Work A Holiday Not Assigned

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, that makes sense.

  2. Scheduled to Work A Holiday Not Assigned

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that scheduling is not my problem, I do feel bad that any time I'm asked to work any extra hours, my answer is basically always no. And it's not like they're really asking me to work...

  3. Scheduled to Work A Holiday Not Assigned

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, the thing is I almost feel like if I don't work it, I'll have to pay for it someday, somehow, someway even though it was never my holiday to work to begin with. Especially since I could make...

  4. Scheduled to Work A Holiday Not Assigned

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Too late to demand Memorial Day off since that has passed. But maybe I'll request Labor Day off

  5. Scheduled to Work A Holiday Not Assigned

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    We can only see our schedule online about 3 weeks in advance. So yeah, I probably should have looked sooner but I just thought that since in my hire agreement it stated that 2017 was my year to work...

  6. Scheduled to Work A Holiday Not Assigned

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention, I'm a little leery about working on holidays, since technically we're supposed to get double our wage when we work our holiday. However, when I worked Memorial Day I only got holiday...

  7. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I work with elderly patients so they are chronically ill, not generally acutely ill. However, my perspective usually does change after awhile away from work. It's almost like I'm a very healthy...

  8. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    A huge reason why there are not always immediate replies on my end is the fact that I do have two jobs, and therefore, obviously can't go on AllNurses.com every time there is a reply. However, I do...

  9. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for a post that is understanding of perspectives of both sides of

  10. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it's easy to forget that when they are seemingly able to do everything by themselves. If they were, they'd be living on their own. And you're right, they do pay a considerable amount....

  11. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    No, I have never been hospitalized and this post wasn't really referring to those patients in the hospital. Regardless, the people I am working with, for one reason or another, can no longer live on...

  12. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    That really wasn't the intent of my post, but I can see how it came across that way to others. Sometimes, it gets tiring constantly giving and giving to others when you barely have time to recover...

  13. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, lately, I have been thinking about where I want to be in my career. While I'm not 100% sure where I would like to end up, I do know that my current situation is not one in which I wish to be in...

  14. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely agree with the lack of responsibility. They wake up, go to bed as they wish. If they want to stay in bed all day, they can because they have no job to go to. I generally can't...

  15. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I can relate to that. Dead people don't have to do anything at

  16. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I do work with elderly people, a lot of who are able to do a lot of things for themselves, but have the luxury of demanding others to do things for them

  17. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds wrong, but I actually don't mind being sick, because healthy people are expected to do more. I'm not talking about the people that are completely dependent on others, but rather, the ones...

  18. Dementia unit

    purplegal replied to Blakelywest051498's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty easy. Surely there are some nursing homes you can apply to. The jobs are easy to obtain, they pretty much hire

  19. Should Female Muslim Psychiatric Patients Be Allowed to Wear Hijabs?

    purplegal posted a topic in Psychiatric

    This morning I had the assignment of performing a task on a lady in our psychiatric hospital. Based on her name, I am pretty sure she was Muslim (although you never know, of course). However, when I...

  20. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Also I do have to say that while friends and family who are "moderately" close are very supportive of the relationship, my mom, whom I am very close to, doesn't see this as a lasting relationship at...

  21. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    And to be fair, he has tried to show signs of being a boyfriend. For example, he sent flowers to me at work on Valentine's Day, which was very nice of him. But it's almost like I can see why maybe...

  22. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    That is an interesting dilemma because as my role as an EKG Tech, I wouldn't do much if someone arrested since we have people above us who respond to emergencies. So even though my employer doesn't...

  23. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I would say there is some friendship there since we do hang out by going out to eat, going to movies, spending time outdoors. It just bothers me that I found out from coworkers, not him, that...

  24. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, one thing I can say about him is that he would make a good father. I have seen him interact with children, and he does very well; he has expressed interest in one day having children....

  25. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Well, he does take me out on dates. But usually only after I've suggested when and where to go. We switch back and forth as far as paying for activities goes, he has paid many times. He is well...
