    Seeking real assistance here

    OrganizedChaos replied to EstrellaAzul's topic in Nursing Career

    Look OP, I'm a nurse as well & also have bipolar. But you can't play the victim card. You have been given a lot of great advice but you need to take it. You can't just up & quit jobs because...

    Discrimination

    OrganizedChaos replied to nerdynurse7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm not the only one confused by your post. Did you even bother to ask those interviewers any questions or did you just march out of the interview

    Discrimination

    OrganizedChaos replied to nerdynurse7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So what was the point of this post? A lot of people claim discrimination when it really doesn't apply to them. Those people are just upset something didn't go their way so they need someone to blame....

    OrganizedChaos replied to Aryea, LVN's topic in Nursing Career

    Why would you quit one LTC job only to go to another LTC job? I have yet to work 1 LTC job that is different than the

    7/3 WILTW: Brain Development, Standardized Patients and Female Condom

    OrganizedChaos replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

    My son's surgery went rather well. The tubes were put in in less than 10 minutes & I'd say the whole day was rather painless. All the nurses were so great & so nice. I'd say the best part of...

    RN or DNP?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Put one foot in front of the other. Get your pre reqs done, apply to nursing school, finish nursing school, take your NCLEX & get a nursing job. You can't become a DNP without becoming an RN...

    Totally online nursing school?

    OrganizedChaos replied to cosmicmama's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Short answer, no. There maybe hybrid classes, but the only hybrid classes I know of are for LVN to RN bridge programs. She would still have to commute for

    Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    OrganizedChaos replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had a weekend RN hate me so much she did her best to conspire with the DON to get me fired from a nursing home I worked at. So honestly, this wouldn't surprise me. As sick as that

    Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    OrganizedChaos replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would've come on here if this happened to me. I would be freaked out to an untagilable level & would look to other nurses for advice/consolation since they would be the only ones who understand....

    Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    OrganizedChaos replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This sounds super suspicious. I'm thinking they wanted you out & this is how they got you out. Definitely contact your malpractice insurance if you have it & get a lawyer ASAP! Good

    To Enroll or Not to Enroll (MedTech)?

    OrganizedChaos replied to lparrish3511's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I would suggest you or her look up MA jobs in your area vs. nursing (RN/LVN). There are generally more nursing jobs vs. MA

    PDN and boundaries

    OrganizedChaos replied to quickkarma's topic in Private Duty

    I've heard of nurses doing this, I don't understand it. I would never do it myself. Some things nurses do in PDN really scare

    PDN and boundaries

    I have worked PDN before & I always set clear boundaries because I never wanted to get get mixed into anything. The last case I was on the day shift nurse would constantly buy or bring stuff for...

    Former patient relationship

    OrganizedChaos replied to nurselpn88's topic in Canada

    No, it is not ok. At no point, ever. You could be fired if you start a relationship with the patient while he is still there. Since he is a mental health patient there is a chance he could be...

    New RN Grad Interview

    OrganizedChaos replied to nurse4211's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think your answer to the question was wrong, I think perhaps they were put off by you requesting off for vacation so early (you didn't even have the job yet). I don't understand why they would...

    Too fat to nurse in the community?

    OrganizedChaos replied to andriamcc's topic in United Kingdom

    You said you went on an interview & you have experience when you didn't need any. I'm thinking perhaps they hired someone without any experience just because it is cheaper to pay them vs. you. I'm...
