Thank you so much. I appreciate your wise words. I didn't think about a protective order, that's a great idea. The $2500 event is a ticket to meet a #1 world wide celebrity singer #1 I can't wait till this drama is over. Definitely not making friends at work ever again! I talked to human resources and they will support me by ensuring I have a security guard escort me to my car, and to make sure that I don't walk alone in the hallways & have a buddy to walk with

I agree this topic has nothing to do with nursing! definitely not nursing at all and definitely it should not be on this forum at all.

The money was used to buy a ticket from ticket master. she chose not to go and pursue a claim. claim was denied. I am am not responsible to give her money back for her ticket she chose not to use. I wish she would just do what she said and sue me instead of harrassing me.

In my post I didn't write it was about "nursing" I was looking for advice on an issue going on with another nurse who I work with. Definitely not looking for legal advice. Just 3cents and opinions from other nurses. the messages she has left on my voice mail have escalated into threats and even "May God have mercy on your soul" I don't know what to think.

Thank you for your advice I reported it to my management and I have a meeting tomorrow. I don't know what to do anymore.

I am asking for advice. If you are commenting on my post, the least you could do is lead me to the right direction to where I can post this issue.

I wouldn't take diet advice from a fat nurse lol

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I should or shouldn't report her at work. She e-mails me at work around 1:30am very Sunday. I don't talk about her at work and so far I have kept my distance from her. I am am sorry everyone, I know it has nothing to do with nursing. Like I said in my other post I don't know what folder to put it in. I have a lawyer that's a friend and she said not to escalate the situation and write her and tell her that sorry it was her choice not to go on the trip and I am not responsible to reimburse her but she still keeps writing letters at work. I love my job and I don't want to lose it. So I wanted a point of view from another RN of what they would do in my situation. I understand TOS I cannot seek legal advice here. I just wanted advice or point of view from another RN. Thanks in advance.

It has to do with an RN co-worker who is harrassing me about a personal issue at work. I am not sure what folder to put that in.

Hi, I need major advice. Please no negative comments. A few months ago a co-worker and ex-friend agreed to go on a girls trip together that would cost about $2000 each. Plus $1000 each on flight and hotel. This co-worker does not know how to use computers well so she asked if I could buy it and she would pay me back she only gave me $2000 in cash. The other $1000 I put down for her. unfortinately, after that, my baby boy was diagnosed with a chronic disease where I would have to give her chemotherapy. Crying on the phone I told her that I could not leave my baby boy alone and would take the baby to the trip. She said ok. Everything was fine, then she decided not to go at the last minute 2 weeks before the trip she changed her mind. claiming that I never told her about my son coming! And claiming all these negative untrue things about me. So she asked to get a refund from ticket insurance. The insurance was denied. NOW she wants me to reimburse her for the $2000 that she paid. And writes me threatening letters that she will sue me. She writes me on my work e-mail, calls me multiple times and leaves 3-4 minute messages on my voice mail, claims that I am a low life. I am not responsible to refund money since the claim was not approved. But she is harrassing me so much that it is incredible. I don't know what to do. I am in fear of my life. I have not seen her at work in about 3 months. Since we do work different floors. But she harasses me, in her derogatory voicemails she brings up private things I told her. She brings up my son that my son is ok and people laugh at me at work when she tells them health stories about my son. I really don't know what to do. I live in Pensacola, FL. i need really good advice. I am scared of her. She only thinks about me. In her voicemails she claims that I tricked her, that she only made the trip because she felt sorry for me, and she called me a low-life, ... Basically really nasty things. I don't know what to do. I am scared she will stab me at work, take a gun to work and shoot me, hit me, etc. I watch too many ID channel shows and it is scary what people can do when you least expect it. I need good sound advice. I alrwady plan not to talk to her alone and to take a witness with me. If she yells to call security. But I don't know what else to do.

wow how horrible. I have heard stories like that. I stayed like a wallflower and tried not to forget anything for any class. I was quite scared to be honest. I heard people got kicked out for shaking a medication bottle instead of rolling it in their hands. Or for not wearing white shoes ..

I didn't think broward college was a bad nursing program. I've been a confident and competent nurse since graduating from there. But I wouldn't step a foot in their RN-BSN. I went to an all online UNIVERSITY where there are no clinical hours. Yes it's expensive but worth it. Now I am getting my MSN in education.

I graduated from BC in 2005-2007 in the generic RN program in south campus. yes there are a lot of people that fail. My original class was 50 people and only 11 graduated. With that said-- it's not impossible. I have always been a B to C student before nursing school. I studied every day, I was pregnant and gave birth during the middle of the nursing program. I didn't watch TV or go out with friends. I didn't waste time. I had a schedule and I kept it even with a newborn. I would read my nursing books out loud to my baby in my arms. People would get bad grades and wonder why they got bad grades. I would explain my rationale for answers to certain questions and they would look at me like I was a moron and they were the ones that failed. The instructors will go over your tests if you make an appointment with them or sometimes wil announce it after class. If you fail the math test you basically failed the clinical. It is a tough program but not impossible if you dedicate yourself to the studies and train your brain to critical thinking. I studied extra books such as Saunders nclex review so I could practice questions to get ready for the tests. I got to school 1hr early and I read my books in the library. I worked really hard to learn and even went to the lab to practice skills for my skill check offs. I recommend this school for those students that want to get an accredited education at a super low price. I am so thankful that I was able to have my baby and make it through nursing school and pass nclex at the first time after graduation. I don't recommend having a baby in the middle of the nursing program. It made school a lot more tougher specially for My mom who helped me through the program.

Ok guys, I have been a nurse since 2007 and since then I have gained about 50lbs. Yes, I know I am not lying. It is very true. I used to fit in to xs scrubs. I work nights because it is convenient for my family and babysitting and my husbands schedule. Tomorrow I start the dvd beachbody programs and hope for the best. It makes me sad that even at work people around me comment on how much weight I have gained. I can't fit into my clothes. working nights I always find excuses to eat sweets or other bad things for weight.
