  1. 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.
  2. It is bad management to punish everybody for the actions of some. Those people should be dealt with individually.
  3. Would you do it all again?

    I would definitely choose something different, hate nursing.
  4. 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...
  5. Today's cringeworthy event..

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

    Nah, got nothing.
  7. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    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...
  8. not on the work schedule

    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 ******.
  9. problem with my DON, help!

    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.
  10. I saw another nurse assault a patient

    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...
  11. Nursing Morale

    Nothing says appreciation like cash.
  12. If I had a million (or more) dollars...

    NO F***ing way!!! If I could find another job that would pay me as much I would leave nursing tomorrow, or even this afternoon if possible.
  13. Is it illegal to place a towel over a patient's face?

    Do anything and everything you have to to keep yourself safe. Your workplace will not have your back if you are injured.
  14. A coworker made me so mad!

    You have absolutely no evidence to support this position.
  15. Ethical dilemma

    If you are not being paid on time, you owe this workplace no loyalty. Run, don't walk, away.
  16. Do you get hit/spit on? Does body fluids splash on you?

    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 us...
  17. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    Whatever you do, do not get sucked into nursing.
  18. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    Is this still going? Geez, some people can't have too many problems.
  19. Part time nights or full time days with infant

    I'd go the nights if it was up to me. Yes it will be tough but you get your working week over in 2 days, with one zombie day. If the money is the same, take the extra time at home with your baby. You can't get that time back.
  20. You should know better

    I run ultra marathons and swim naked as much as possible.
  21. Scripting sounds patronizing

    No it's "I'd be happy to help IF I have the time."
  22. I got reported to HR

    Nah, it's a thing. People have realised they can make a buck out of being offended.
  23. Is this a new trend?

    The reason they are discouraging briefs is because they cost more than toweling and Chux. A bean counter somewhere is probably charging the health care insurer for briefs but instructing staff to use towel. It all comes down to the mighty dollar.
  24. Patients hitting on nurses

    Don't do this. You need to be perfectly clear that you are not interested and that their "advances" are inappropriate and unwelcome. Do not smile when you tell them no.
  25. rant.. "4 weeks notice"

    Two weeks notice is usual. Give that and if they don't like it just say that is all you are able to give.
