    How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    Emergent replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Theft of a wallet could happen anywhere if you don't lock it up. If they didn't give you a locker, that's another matter. If the DON isn't above making sandwiches, that's actually a plus. Poor...

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    Emergent replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    That's all true, JKL. But the other side of the coin is that, these managers are incredibly petty and self-centered, plus on a huge, arrogant power trip. It's a giant red

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Emergent replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to disagree, but there is no way on God's green earth that anyone can be smiling and chowing down while in 10/10 pain. Maybe it means they can't count, or more likely, they are prone to...

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    Emergent replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    They sound extremely self-important. That is totally disrespectful and degrading. What horrible people. There is a nursing shortage right now because of the virus. I encourage all people to...

    Patient complaint - Did I mishandle this situation?

    Emergent replied to lily8424's topic in General Nursing

    Detachment is a spiritual ideal in most religions. Those who follow deeply spiritual and contemplative lives, such as Monks and Nuns, Yogis, Sufis, work to nurture the virtue of service with an...

    Patient complaint - Did I mishandle this situation?

    Emergent replied to lily8424's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that will help you in your nursing career is to develop an attitude of detachment. It will protect you in many ways, and shield you from being emotionally manipulated or coerced. You...

    ED Nursing

    Emergent replied to Kbelle's topic in General Nursing

    I'll never forget the loveliest ICU nurse on the planet, Maria, came to work in our ED. The first week she gave a full bed bath to a little old lady, getting one of our scarce techs to help....

    Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    Emergent replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    The risk is that then facilities will quietly weed out less healthy staff during times of an abundance of workers. Right now, of course, they can make it appear altruistic. But when the tables turn...

    Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    Emergent replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    This is a fascinating story. On the one hand, I applaud your employer for trying to protect vulnerable people. On the other hand, you are not seeking an excuse from being in the covid unit, yet they...

    Does being a nurse make you feel like a good person?

    Emergent replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you get the job done and keep the patients safe, it doesn't matter what your opinion of the patient is. Whether you have disdain for the underclass, or you despise the wealthy, or you find...

    Should I quit nursing school?

    Emergent replied to girl.in.blue's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree, talk to a guidance counselor. I like the wedding analogy/comparison. Nursing school is like being engaged. You're not married yet. Don't commit if it's not right, and don't be afraid to bail,...

    Does being a nurse make you feel like a good person?

    Emergent replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing, first and foremost, is a way to make a living. I have worked with the underclass, especially at my last job. It has its amusing side to it, but you can sure get burned out on the dysfunction...

    Emergent replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    I think that if your boss had sent a less confrontational email, that you wouldn't have gotten your hackles up. I know I wouldn't have liked being approached that way. It's just not very productive....

    Leaving First RN Job Prior to One Year

    Another thought is, when there is such a need for nurses as there is now, that is the time to move towards a job you particularly want. The pendulum will swing the other way when the job market...
