I didn't want to be run off either, however, my working environment was toxic and affecting me physically and psychologically. You know when people are treating you poorly but in ways in which you may...
Thank you so much for your advice Nurse Beth, Nurse Shannon. I applied to another hospital and was hired so I am beyond excited! I am the utmost professional so mentioning other jobs negatively is...

Are you working for a teaching hospital? My very first RN position was in a large teaching hospital on a combination med/surg and telemetry unit and as a part of their orientation they included EKG...
I've been out of work for the last 7 months. I injured my elbow during a code, I have a torn tendon and have developed problems in my wrist and hand. Im due to have surgery in a few weeks. I'm a...
I was that new grad also. I was met with so much attitude, not from everyone, but a select few. I wasn't pompous or a know it all but just wanted to soak everything in to learn. I don't know why some...
You shouldn't despise anyone though Khminh. I'm sorry that some religious people have left a bad taste in your mouth. I have had similar experiences but it doesn't make me hate them or anyone. You...

I absolutely love this post! I am an atheist nurse also and believe in secular humanism. The problem is, we suffer from a "majority privilege" society so anything that is not the *majority* belief...
I am actually shocked at the responses to this new nurse. It sounds to me like she is being set up to fail. Nursing school vs work nursing is a whole different reality, however, it is OUR job as...
This is so true. As I posted above, I was arrogant enough to think that my 27 years "in the field" qualified me for what I wanted along with increased pay as a brand new RN. Ha! I learned very quickly...
Kemansha1, I understand your frustration. I used to work as an LPN and I did a lot of travel nursing so some assignments I would make up to $25/hour as an LPN! Fast forward to my first RN job, and...

HI Joe, I am a new nurse and have been working on a med/surg telemetry unit for almost a year. My patients are identical to what you described and I don't feel as though it is a real telemetry unit....

Dinsey, Thank you so much for your input. I am fairly new to this site/forum, so I'm sorry if my questions seem redundant. I am just really nervous about considering the switch. I have good health...
