    So glad I left that place!!!!!

    Little Panda RN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Many of you might remember me posting about my fellow co-workers getting slugged and slapped in the face by two adolescents at the psych hospital I used to work at. Well anyways, I ran into the nurse...

    Got slapped by pt. Staff splitting. Need feedback.

    Little Panda RN replied to wonderbee's topic in Psychiatric

    RNKittyKat, I am sorry to hear about what you are going through. This is the exact reason I left where I was working. Management did not take staff abuse seriously. One nurse I worked with was...

    Little Panda RN replied to inthesky's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift is tough and I commend all those who can do it. I did night shift for 4 nights. I know not enough time to adjust, but all I would do is cry after pulling a night shift. I just couldnt do...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Little Panda RN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is ridiculous! They have all passed the same boards. The nclex is not any different for an ADN-vs-BSN. To me and this is only in my opinion (not that anyone cares) but they all take the same...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Little Panda RN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Do you think the public will really know that you are a professional and not a technical worker? Do you think that a patient contemplates wether you are a BSN or ADN? I don't think so, they even think...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Little Panda RN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am just curious here, I am not flamming, but why do you think that a BSN should be the requirement? Do you think that it would better the profession or would it raise the pay scale? I am just not...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Little Panda RN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    How will making BSN entry level change the way the profession runs? I dont think it will make them stay in the profession any longer than usual. You see those from other career fields who have BSN's...

    what about a Private facility?

    Little Panda RN replied to lilia123's topic in Psychiatric

    The for profit psych facility that I used to work for continually short staffed us. We did more with less and it wasn't safe. The pay was okay, but not worth it!! Guess it depends on the facility and...

    Little Panda RN replied to houstonlvn's topic in General Nursing
