Nursing is supposed to be a profession. That would lead one to think that nurses are professionals. I've been on my unit for 4 months and the gossip is just ridiculous. Just like women continue to tear each other apart, nurses (which, you guessed it...

As a New grad in 2015, I was given a job within 2 weeks of graduation from nursing school..(Without having passed the nclex at the time of hire. (Which I of course rocked the following week)) I graduated with an ADN and only 8,000 in debt that I paid...

I've never been late... Not once. And the only day I've asked off for was a day I traded to attend granny's funeral... Seems like you're trying to make excuses for your constant lateness and lay-offs... It does not sound like she's being unreasonabl...

Kaplan was a complete waste of time. Hurst was good.

Tenebrae - do you have lasting side effects from the incident?

Nurses take an oath and vow to care for others. Treating people like dirt doesn't fall under the scope of caring and healing.

This is accurate, unfortunately. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a "lowly" secretary. (I say it that way because that's how some of them made me feel) I remember The way that some nurses talked and treated people like me, as if we were bene...

Hello! I'm a 2015 grad, working in swamped, understaffed medsurg. I don't understand why people keep asking WHY the BP was taken at 2am... We are required to take vitals at midnight AND 4am at my facility. Also, we have scheduled meds throughout the...

August 6, 2015, I graduated Nursing School. On September 14, 2015, I started my brand new job as a Registered Nurse on a med/surg unit, 4 minutes from my home. Tomorrow will be 6 months from my graduation and I can't believe I have already been gai...

Thank you Houtx! Hanaler, glad to help! Good luck to you!

How often do you use the "cancel meal deduction" option before clocking out? During our employee orientation, the HR rep talked to us specifically about taking advantage of this. She said: "even if someone asks you a question while you are on your b...

Unions had their place and purpose, 40 years ago. Now they just waste time and money and cause problems. Plan your vacation. If time rolls around and they refuse you your days off, go anyway. We don't live to work, we work to live❤️

Yep 🐘 And we are told "well do something about it" I'm perfectly fine with being an advocate for this, but I can only send so many letters and emails. It takes a village to make a change.

What is an SNF 😳

4 minutes 12-14 hour shifts A "reasonable" commute would be 30 minutes I suppose... But I am very lucky! I don't "think anything" of coworkers who have to drive from further away. They love their homes and their jobs, that's what matters.

I don't feel that it is paying dues... Since night shift differential is offered. But to each their own

Leave the building If it's that "urgent," they can call 911! As a hospital nurse, I never get a lunch break either... Just shove some poptarts down at the desk while attempting to chart

Dreading Colleagues I am surprised you still have a job as well. It does show character and promise that you seem to genuinely care about your patient's outcome. Go forth and triple check.

Please try another hospital, or even a different unit in your current hospital. I graduated in 2015 as well. I am also experiencing gossiping nurses, which is unprofessional, but they are very helpful to me. They always offer help, they'll even giv...

I graduated nursing school with just 8,000 in student loans. (No scholarships) I've already paid them down to 2,000 within the last 4 months. (My first payment was not due until this coming February 2016) Registered Nurse ADN

Start applying elsewhere... no one should work for free

I too saw that post on Facebook and found the poster very arrogant

Where exactly is the name calling? You sure are stuck on the "boy" thing when they are included not only in the post, but the title as well. Please, continue proving my point.

Sounds like a couple or 4 more years waiting will do you good

Ruby and Fara are validating my post so well... While seemingly trying to be offended by the accuracy. Catty, gossiping and unprofessional, go girls.
