    Will I ever hack it?

    NurseNightOwl replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    3-11 is the most challenging shift, in my opinion. As an LTC night shifter myself, I'll just say that the other nurse is entitled to his opinion, but don't take it as gospel and don't let it keep you...

    forced to come in on days off?

    NurseNightOwl replied to nursebag's topic in General Nursing

    Just as disturbing as the fact that you HAVE to come in (or feel like you have to, whichever it is) is the fact that you're then forced to take time off in order to keep from going into OT. That is SO...

    Awww, no one said you definitely didn't get the ER job... keep thinking positive!!! We just want you to have yourself covered if it doesn't work out. In my experience, hospitals take the longest to...

    Charge nurse hates me? and overall nasty attitude of coworkers

    NurseNightOwl replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love how you asked for no rude comments due to what you've seen elsewhere on this site... I love AN but sometimes I'm too scared to even post or reply (non-controversial!) stuff bec of some of the...

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    NurseNightOwl replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    It reminds me of how people get so fired up on this site when anyone mentions NETY. Of course most of the time it is new nurses being indignant, or too sensitive, or just paranoid. But SOMETIMES some...

    NurseNightOwl replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I know the go-to answer if for most people to think that people in this situation are in denial of their own short comings, and that is possible in this case because we don't know you OP or anything...

    It really sucks when jobs are perfect except for awful management, because that is often times the one thing that can't just be dealt with and suffered through, if you want to keep your sanity anyway....

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    NurseNightOwl replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    This is exactly how everyone at our school felt, that we were basically in danger of being failed (in a clinical course) at any time, for any reason, just because a teacher felt like it. Of course...

    NurseNightOwl replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    My school was the same way. I know there are some wonderful nursing teachers out there, but at least a lot of the ones at my school were nothing short of hateful. I saw the same sort of thing you're...

    How to be excused from clinicals

    YES!! I guess they have to be concerned with customer service in order to keep the children as clients, but I wish they wouldn't cater to unreasonable demands so much. They kiss way too much sassy...

    NurseNightOwl replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty
