    I pay for these classes and these people won't shut up

    MassED replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    well they have to shut their yappers if they want to learn - and they're interfering in your learning, so I'd put it bluntly. Not making any friends, but perhaps they can be

    Mobbing support - threats, hostile work environment

    MassED replied to NurseBrittney's topic in General Nursing

    FIND A NEW JOB. I'd write up that manager and take it to HR - sounds like you're being pushed out, unfortunately. Upon your exit interview, bring all of your documentation of your treatment to

    Mobbing support - threats, hostile work environment

    MassED replied to NurseBrittney's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like that charge nurse is completely disrespectful and diminishes your position as the primary nurse. Sure, she's in charge of the floor, but YOU know what is going on with the total care of...

    Mobbing support - threats, hostile work environment

    MassED replied to NurseBrittney's topic in General Nursing

    REPORT the nurse - sounds like you did, since the manager is bringing you in. Do NOT tolerate that behavior - that's lateral workplace violence. I dealt with that when I lived in North Carolina. I...

    Is it hard to find an RN job being military wife?

    MassED replied to RN Liz's topic in General Nursing

    I am one and haven't had a hard time finding a job. Employers love that I bring diversity, having moved and experienced different areas/populations. You'll be fine moving with one year M/S...

    Please advice...YOUNG cancer patient and I feel helpless

    MassED replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Home Health

    I don't know what you can say... you sound supportive. You're a hospice nurse? Home care? I would imagine getting additional therapy/support for her to work through her feelings (and her grief...

    STRESS!!!

    MassED replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    deep breaths help. I always think of A,B,C first and whatever I can do in one fell swoop - like getting a blanket for one pt, a cup of water for another, etc. I'm always trying to regroup and...

    Sketchy propofol dosing

    MassED replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    being in the middle of a few docs and a RT who might argue with you isn't fun. Beyond voicing your concern, there's not much more you can do - without repercussions from that doc (the ER one)... you...

    Are they trying to get rid of me? Will I make it as nurse?

    MassED replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    heck yeah they do. Some of them. Disgraceful. And gross! Not just nurses, but nursing assistants. Like a bunch of peacocks showing off their feathers to each other - the paramedics, docs, etc....

    How many consecutive 12-hour shifts do you consider safe?

    MassED replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    you need more time in between if you're going to do 3 in a row. I can only do two 12's, then I need time off - at least a day or two. Good

    MassED replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say, cuter nurses are generally treated worse than those nurses who come in that are less fortunate in the looks department. Sad, but true. There should be more comradery among the female...

    Nursing programs that don't require Chemistry?!

    MassED replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone dislike the medsurg clinical experience?

    MassED replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    yes, it's normal to feel out of sorts. We all were then. You'll click with them at some point - at least some of them. It's an invaluable experience to have M/S time.... soak it up! I can't stand...
