Unfortunately, these places are rife within the healthcare system. I too have experienced such conditions in the workplace. I worked as an agency nurse at a nursing home. This was horrible, and I actually lost my job for speaking out. There was fecal matter up the walls of this facility, and residents were left to lay in urine soaked beds for too long. I am wanting to be a nurse who gives a damn about people. Unfortunately, however many facilities will employ substanded staff and place them in substanded conditions to save the all mighty dollar. What a terrible shame this is. ------------------ Cat xoxox

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Your story about the nurse from hell reminds me of the ******* that I have had to work w/ during my clinicals for university. What is it w/ some nurses and their attitudes towards students? Are they threatened by upcoming enthusiasm? I feel for you my friend, and trust that this ***** will soon be put out to pasture. ------------------ Cat xoxox
