Is there some way you can start a rumour of mass sackings coming up? Just make sure it doesn't get around that you started it.

You don't have anything to lose by reaching out to them. If they were moving slowly with the recruitment process, it's possible the position is still available. However wanting you to leave a current position without the appropriate notice is a red flag IMO.

Yeah I thought that too. Rather a lot of crowing and blowing about how smart the OP is and how stupid the colleague is.

Nah, got nothing.

Hospitality is every bit as serious as nursing. People rely on the hospitality staff for safe food and drinks, feeling socially comfortable and included, dealing with all sorts of behind the scenes crises. Nursingstudents or even nurses could shine in these roles and be paid similar crapy money for at will employment. At least in hospitality you get tips and are allowed to keep them.

You need to see an employment lawyer ASAP and get their advice. You will need all the help you can get to beat this bunch of slimy a$$holes. No wonder nursing is ******.

No, when residents or anyone else assault staff or other residents/patients, and management tries to cover it up it is time to go hard. Unfortunately, to prevent career suicide, I think the OP has to leave and then report.

The "studies" to which you refer was ONE study and we don't know how rigorous that study was. Further, she can state her opinion as anyone else can. She doesn't have to confine it to the religion forum as it is a by the bye comment, not a discussion of religion.

Nothing says appreciation like cash.

Do anything and everything you have to to keep yourself safe. Your workplace will not have your back if you are injured.

You have absolutely no evidence to support this position.

If you are not being paid on time, you owe this workplace no loyalty. Run, don't walk, away.

I'm very disappointed in the number of posters who think that patients assaulting nurses is "part of being a nurse". No it's not. I was assaulted by a patient, not a psych patient, not a demented old person but a nasty man whose daughter said he used to beat his wife. I required surgery and I have chronic pain. My workplace added to the trauma with the way they handled it, or rather didn't handle it. Having said that I have also been bitten and scratched by demented old things, kicked in the back by a labouring woman and threatened by the ******* family of a dying patient. Not on, any of it. That's why I don't work in patient contact any more. It sucks.

Whatever you do, do not get sucked into nursing.

Is this still going? Geez, some people can't have too many problems.
