WorriedNurse25

I'm very curious. I'm sure we've all been there. We've dealt with doctors from all spectrum and mindsets. Most are very good at their jobs and have sound ideas! But sometimes docs just say and do the craziest things My example: at my last LTC facilit...

I'm getting a bit tired of the incivility I have when I do my 8 (usually ends up being 10) hour shifts on evenings. I also know that we are in desperate need for a night nurse on my rehab unit. We literally have two nurses covering for 50 residents....

I've actually had to (sadly) report a few aides for sleeping on shift lately. I've basically decided I am nobody's friend and I am the boss when I am the nurse overnight. I need respect from them as much as I give them but there is a limit to my kind...

Hey all, I've been at my long term care place for about a month now. I'm not getting any benefits or insurance yet, and I don't get holidays paid until after January. Lately, a lot of people have been calling off (which I could have sworn that my ma...

It's not much better online, you show one ounce of being a human being and you get criticized and ridiculed and/or have rude comments about your actions. I have tried multiple times to get advice from people on this site and every time most the time...

I'm not looking for anyone to tell me what to do/make a decision for me I just want some input. Nights are from 10:30pm-6:30 in the morning. I've only been a nurse for like eight months and I just don't want to feel like I'm not trying my hardest. E...

Yeah trust me, the first time I did a night-only shift I had a four-hour emergency to deal with which was amazingly fun. I know a lot of codes and emergencies tend to happen at night. Also aides are impossible to find at times...

I have 8 hour shifts and the only reason I don't like them is that means more days worth of being at my job. I wouldn't mind going back to 12 hours but for now that's where my hours go.

I'm going back to work officially this Friday after almost 2 months being unemployed. I very seriously doubt I'll ever be reluctant to go to work again but if I ever get the blahs I have to remember that at one point I was living with only 500 dollar...

I feel really mixed about my interview with a correctional facility today. I thought I was being confident but somehow my nervousness pried through. I wasn't given many questions. The basic ones were: What experience do you have? How can it help he...

I worked at a LTC place for two months. I'm fairly new to nursing. I've only been out of school since December last year and got my nclex in early April. Recently on day shift I had very little sleep and I was overwhelmed. Working at a negative place...

okay what if it shows up as an interview question?

It has been one month since my termination. Describing what the emotions and pain I have gone through is something I want to share with you. I want to reach out to someone to let them know it is possible to survive. I've had multiple people tell me t...

Sadly i cant avoid explaining termination. A majority of applications require you to provide explainations regarding termination. On the application for the correctional facility nurse I have put "Overwhelmed/panic attack. Raised voice while walking ...

It's a minimum security facility and I've also had over a month to reflect and change my attitude. I can keep my cool and if I want to continue as a nurse I'm going to have to keep my cool. I'll be fine.

I got good news finally. I might have a chance to work with the military…I wont be with the services but I can work as a nurse outside of the service itself. I was contacted by the HR there and they have potential openings for nurses with less than...

Just an update: After a few weeks of being unemployed, I managed to get a place at a flu clinic/bio-metric screening place PRN. While not the best pay, it certainly is holding me over until I can find full time work. I've gotten meds to help with my ...

I want to stay at this skilled nursing/rehab facility (if they really do offer me a job and it is the only thing I have been able to find) for at least 5 months so I can get my "year's worth" of experience that everyone in my state requires, or at le...

Thank you for your kind words and concern. I am currently now going on three weeks without employment. I am heavily considering going on unemployment temporarily until I get phone calls back from the places I've interviewed for. I have been going to...

I decided to take a break from applying to places today and just try to focus on relaxing. I printed out materials to prepare for my application for licensing in another state. I got a call from a hospice home health nurse in MO, the state I'm trying...

Thank you very much for your kind words and support. That's all I wanted coming here. I was really hoping someone could understand where I was coming from. I know this is a public forum, and there will be some bad apples, but knowing that there are c...

My psychologist diagnosed me with panic disorder. The anxiety was what triggered the event in case. I was immediately remorseful of the event, even before they terminated me. I am a caring person. I went to nursing because I thought I was going to ha...

I woke up in a cold sweat after several dreams about calling my mother. I did so at midnight and we had a long discussion about my future. My mother is the one that helped me through college. I discovered slowly through conversation that bedside nurs...

Thank you for your support!
