    New RN, Is my license in jeopardy??

    This sounds dangerous and unsafe. Is this on nights, or 3-11? I would really be concerned about the defibrillator, and no nitro on a tele floor? Unbelievable! When I worked nights on tele, we had 2...

    I am prejudiced...please read

    I feel the same way you do. I know it is hard to admit, but truthfully, the male nurses I have come into contact with arelacking in emotional and nurturing attitudes, as you have stated. I think that...

    AHHHHHHHH REAL Monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is so sweet. You are very lucky! I myself married Satan himself, so I was never the recipient of any comfort from the home front. But you give your hubby a big kiss for being such a great support...

    Fibromyalgia

    Weren't you recently admitted to the hospital after having an MI? Hmmmm, wonder where you would be today if the ER nurses caring for you had rolled their eyes and doubted your complaints. It never...

    Morgellon's Disease

    People who have this are blowing their heads off because the medical community is shunning them and passing them over to the psych doctors who are saying the pts are doing this to themselves. With the...

    Help me out here please

    Weed-smoking roommate

    Although I agree with most of what you say, I must respectfully disagree with this statement. I happen to know because it happened to me. My adult daughter lived in my basement apartment when she...

    Co-workers doing your work behind your back?

    Sounds like you were lucky enough to pick a winner of a unit. Heed the advise of each poster and thank your lucky stars, and DON'T forget to return the favor when you are

    I failed a physical!

    If you have not discussed this with your PCP yet, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make and appointment and perhaps a cardiology consult and workup are in

    Letter of resignation due to mental health issues

    I agree. Even if you return to same unit/same manager, a year or more down the road, she may change her mind about being accomodating and supportive. Absence, in this type of case, does not always...

    New Corpsman to allnursing.com site!

    Good luck however you decide to do it. Nursing is a very rewarding career and you can specialize in almost anything. My SIL is a Marine, he was in Iraq last year, and just made the SWAT team here in...

    Weed-smoking roommate

    The drug test thing would definitely be the deal breaker for me. You will test + if you are sharing living quarters with a habitual MJ user. And who wants to risk their license for that? I never...

    Oops:(

    Everyone makes mistakes, and some seasoned nurses just push it under the rug and cover it up. So you owned up to your mistake and you monitored the pt so you did everything right! You will make an...

    I want to quit....

    I don't have any answers for you. I would read through the contract again to see if there is any other out, perhaps a grace period that would allow you to leave without penalty. You said LD is your...

    I feel like my boss is taking advantage of me

    Your DON may be handing you extra work to see if you are willing to step up and go the extra mile. She may have you in mind for a raise or a promotion and she may be doing this to test your abilities...

    I Would Like Your Opinion

    I agree that you should leave asap. If your immediate supervisor of the unit is covering up for her, then you have very little chance of making any changes. Unless there is someone higher up that is...
