    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    I'm going through that right now on my current case. I'm not even allowed in the exam room. Parents always claim "there isn't enough

    Highly Sensitive People in Nursing: Stress & Burnout - Research

    Crystal-Wings replied to RNliveoak's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on the autism spectrum, so I would consider myself "sensitive". I don't like bright lights, loud noises, or being around a ton of people for long periods of time. I'm also not very good at...

    I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    Crystal-Wings replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    I hate to break it to you OP, but all of the things you describe not liking about your current job/career is also involved in being a nurse and then some. There is no area of nursing that is EASY,...

    Crystal-Wings replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    This is indeed bizarre... My great grandfather was an anesthesiologist and apparently drank like a fish (and from everything I've ever heard about him, was not a nice person overall), but he never...

    Crystal-Wings replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That sucks OP. I'm sorry you're going through this, as its obviously very distressing to you. I don't have any suggestions except to maybe look for another place of employment if it's making you as...

    Crystal-Wings replied to chillywil's topic in General Nursing

    No, that's assault and your coworker is an a-hole (and has watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest one too many times). If this person is actually doing it, you need to tell your supervisor

    Nurse Imposters

    Crystal-Wings replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    I really hate it when medical assistants do this, and then insist it's ok to do. There's a big thread on indeed about it, with medical assistants arguing that it's fine to call themselves

    Crystal-Wings replied to newRN02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, if you are crying before every shift its time to look for another job. No job is worth your mental health deteriorating. That sounds like an awful place to work. Is it possible you can get a...

    Crystal-Wings replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    Oh god...I can't stand loud tv! Those poor residents! Imagine being nonverbal and confined to your bed or wheelchair and having to sit and listen to that crap! I would straight up ask the suspected...

    I was not close to anyone during nursing school.

    Crystal-Wings replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in General Students

    Wow that sounds like I wrote that! Yes, I went through the same thing you did in NS. I didn't really make friends with anyone even though I tried. I stopped caring and was just determined to get...

    Are there ever any raises in peds PD?

    Crystal-Wings replied to tami2017's topic in Private Duty

    LOL, no. I wish. Alas, that's a pipe dream. It would also be nice if we got more than 3 days of PTO a year, because the office staff at my agency gets 8 days which is totally unfair. The nurses out in...

    Crystal-Wings replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Amen sister! I run across this sometimes in private duty, and all I can do is grit my teeth and bare it unless the parents become too much (which has only happened once and I asked to be assigned to...

    I'm so sorry this happened to you OP! I know what it's like to take a job and move somewhere far away and then not have it work out. It can be very scary (and lonely!). I hope you have a good...
