  5. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    rachel100639 replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    I think in the next 10 years, the typical nursing home will be obsolete. More and more places that are home-like environments are popping up. Baby Boomers will not tolerate the kind of "care" patients...

  6. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    rachel100639 replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Your last couple sentences are not guaranteed. Either you might be too incapacitated to oversee/manage your own or your family members' care or, you could be deceased before anyone in your family...

  9. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    rachel100639 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot help but put my thoughts and experiences in here. I have a couple different careers: 1) Nursing 2) Writer/Editor 3) Teacher ONLY in nursing have I not only witnessed other nurses, but have...

  10. Why I'm leaving nursing

    rachel100639 replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    You are 28 years old - still very young. You are smart to get out of this field that treats nurses like indentured servants. It does get worse as each year passes. I have 2 other entirely different...

  14. Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    rachel100639 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for her! Why should she spend a dime on getting the cake professionally done? If more nurses did things like this, maybe administrators would get the message that they can't treat their employees...

  15. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

    rachel100639 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This is treating nurses as professionals?!? Hope absurd. In no other profession would an employee be expected to work while they were deathly ill - only in nursing. Until nurses stop allowing...

  16. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

    rachel100639 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Yes, but damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you call in sick, they have a hissy fit. If you come in sick, you risk you r health and everyone else's. You can't

  17. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

    rachel100639 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It isn't society - it's the nursing profession. Paid slaves - work until you drop, work until you get so sick you put your patients and yourself in jeopardy. God how I hated bedside

  18. What are my chances? Advice from experienced LPN/LVN appreciated!

    rachel100639 replied to juwajulia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Pocket Snacks for 12 Hour Shift?

    rachel100639 replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I did not see where the original poster stated, "until this underlying issue can be fixed." The fact is, no one mentioned the underlying issue - at all. Unless I missed that somewhere. Did I? As I...

  20. RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

    rachel100639 replied to happyspn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, it's true. After many years - on and off - in nursing, I left. I say on and off because I have a couple of other careers (see below). I keep trying to get into my profile to clarify, but it is...

  21. RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

    rachel100639 replied to happyspn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not sure why my profile says "prenursing student". That's not the case. I'd better fix

  22. RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

    rachel100639 replied to happyspn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry, You're right. That was certainly a blanket statement. I meant that the field of nursing is rampant with bullying, hostility, unhappiness, etc. In fact, I just read an article about nurses who...

  23. I don't think I am caught up for nursing. med error

    rachel100639 replied to Fireflynurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "Nurses tend to belittle newer nurses." This is the understatement of the Century. Your last statement to jcourtnay minimizes the fact that she is being treated like
