no surprise! With management changing for the sake of the $$$$. wE SEE on this side of the border. Many supers & general management have no idea HOW to manage.

try it! for 3 to 6 months..your eyes will be opened as to drug addicts and how manipulative they can be. Be careful with what you see and discuss around your kids. A meth clinic are people 'trying' to get off higher powered drugs, which sounds like an oxymoron!

follow your gut instinct! if it feels wrong..it is!

no! manual BP...above the elbow, but which arm? Your a nurse? you should know your anatomy of the arm..

find another job!

watch your pay cheque!

time to find another job! if no one cares, especially within ear shot of patients, and boss lady dont care..time to move on. Unfortunately this is NOT an uncommon occurance.

its doable but timing is of the essence. remember, keep yourself clean of booze & drugs, and smoking during the 9 months. Give the kid a chance because everything you take in, the kid gets.

get used to it..it aint gonna change. The $$$ is in command. A lot of hospitals in the usa are run like donut stores chains. We see that in Michigan. Loyality to the hospital has changed. Tis the management that is asking staff to do more that it outside of nursing. Plus we are seeing a lot of Asian & Middle Eastern professions coming in who do not know how to relate to our system or staff. They stick to their own culture. Racist? Maybe. But thats the way it is becoming.

to read the silliness of hospitals and nursing staff. The management has evolved as poor quality supervisors who have no people skills. We saw evidence of this recently in a major teaching hospital in our area. I could nto believe what I heard.

define DRUGS..Pot, you can smell! If they are on presciption drugs, you need details..side effects etc. Pot you can smell, like cigarette smoke on clothing OR breath! Has your school a policy on kids smoking..pot or cig's. If pot, tell them to go home, they WILL disrupt classes.

unless you have a private waiting room, get used to it! They are there for a reason! Help them, thats why you took the job.

good to read so many comments! bad & good.

why did you get into nursing in teh first place?

used to be called GUIDANce councillor! IF you want to be a nurse..DO IT! For someone you dont know, this guidance councillor is awfully mouthy. If you think you can because a nurse, what is stopping you, because some loud mouth ego ridden advisor.
