Late to the thread is there anyway you could share your proficiency? It would be much appreciated 😊

I loved microbiology and zoology!

Yes, I have had a situation where my mgr did not like me. Although I could never really say specifically "why". She cannot find any fault with my performance but basically tried to punish me by giving me the worst of the worst. I just continued doin...

The hiring process is definitely long! If you can get past that hurdle you will more than likely love it. I work in a unit where the nurses know their stuff. I've never seen such a smart group and our vets love us. While is sounds mushy, I must say t...

No, it is not. Do you have your handbook? You need to look in there and gather the pertinent information. Actually, the union should assist you with this. But take it upon yourself and then go see straight to the union.

Spring flowers I believe there are some out there who you described perfectly but not every nurse is mean/nasty/abusive. I have found mean, nasty, abusive people in all walks of life! Good luck and best wishes.

Woopsadaisy, Hugs to you. Tough times don't last but tough people do! Head up...you will make it;)

We also lost our Neptune to the recall. We now use Dornoch suction machines. They are a bit different but do the job. Google them and check it out!

I love this. And couldn't agree MORE with BlueLightRN!

Dansko all the way! I have foot issues and danskos are fab.

Well said! Love this;)

It just cracks me up the number of pre-nursing students who post this question. I mean "wow"! If they are so worried about all of the "gross stuff" they are going to have to possibly do I think they should do something that doesn't involve direct pat...

I have an asst. nurse manager who was "acting" nurse manager for about 4 years. He/she still runs the show and tells the new nurse manager what to do. Needless to say I'm one of his/her least favorite people! It's a horrible environment and do not w...

We use ST unless we are short-staffed then some of our RNs that used scrub step up.

We have a nurse that works in the OR who can't even keep her mask up because she smokes like a freight train! She is more impaired than any obese nurse I've ever seen!

So true dudette! We all make mistakes but stepping up and admitting the mistake is the true test. Some people just don't get it.
