Thanks for all the advice however saying anything will cause more problems because the supervisor and Nurse manager were both in the break room with them. I do speak up for myself when I need help. Most the nurses are team players and we help each other. There are just a few who abuse the rules and it's frustrating. Not ready to leave yet as I have just started my BSN program.

When I was in nursing school I noticed the job market was full of entry level nurses looking for a job. Most places preferred BSN RNs. I decided that it would be easier to get a job was to start working in the medical field. I started working as a CNA my Last year of school. It was per deim 3-8 hour shifts every 6 weeks. It didn't interfere with school and they hired me immediately after I passed my boards.

Hello. I've been at my job for a year and I am a new nurse. I am starting to become resentful of other nurses. Where I am LPNs are not allowed to do admissions. So some night RNs may have 7-8 patients and 1-2 admissions. LPNS may have 7-9 patients. Admissions take 1.5 hours of paperwork, tracking down the dr, putting in orders etc. you lose time with established patients. I have the upmost respect for all the nurses at work LPNS and RNS. A lot of LPNs have helped me adjust and learn the past year. I have a problem when I am at the nurses desk plugging away, call bells are going off and these nurses have been in the back for 2+ hours ( part of that was break) talking and shooting the breeze. Hard to stay focused when you hear consistent laughter for over an hour from behind the closed door. If they are charting they should be upfront to help with lights if the aide needs help or answer the phone when the secretary leaves. The nurses left at the desk end up breaking their concentration to answer lights and the phone. It happens with certain LPNs a lot and it's hard to keep working hard and not get resentful. I know saying anything to management will not get anything done and will not be good for me.
