1. Why do I feel like an outsider?

   TeddyBer replied to GGirll22's topic in Relations

   Thank you for sharing that, I am sorry you are experiencing such a negative work environment. Good for you that you stuck it out for a year!! Seriously I don't know how these places get away with it!! Such a joke. At the facility where I work, we ju...

2. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

   TeddyBer replied to templeknight7's topic in International

   "The real issue is professionalism." yes that is true, and being professional means not excluding your coworkers or patients by speaking in a language that is not common to all! Speak English! [COLOR=#000000]"Not homogenization of America and not aba...

3. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

   TeddyBer replied to templeknight7's topic in International

   THANK YOU for posting this!!! It is so extremely rude. I am at my wits end with all the tagalog at work. I've had problems in the last two places I've worked. It's so bad. I'm left out and I miss key information about work and patients. It's so annoy...

4. Giving my two weeks notice even though I'm not finished with orientation

   TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in LPN/LVN

   I've been a nurse for five years working in different environments inpatient and outpatient and I've never been somewhere that encourages or allows nurses to skip meal breaks. And I realize nursing is not "easy."

5. Giving my two weeks notice even though I'm not finished with orientation

   TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in LPN/LVN

   reply to: May 12 by steti1221, LVN No we don't get paid for our lunch. In fact, when we clock out it forces us to click yes or no to attest that we took our 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks. Which is a joke. If you don't clock out for lunch ...

6. Lied to in Interview

   TeddyBer replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with another person I saw posted on here that said give two weeks notice to be professional, but they probably won't hold you to it. Take the other job that you like better. Sometimes timing plays tricks with us, but don't pass up the job you...

7. Lied to in Interview

   TeddyBer replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

   I don't feel that it's unreasonable at all. 5 days is plenty and nobody is obliged to work overtime if they don't want to go in on their days off. That's why these places lose staff. If they want to attract quality people, they are going to have to b...

8. Doubts about job change

   TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you! Although I like the students, teaching is not for me right now. I decided to leave. Now i know to trust my instinct and should have left right away. I gave 100% while there but I knew that I was not in the right place. Thanks for the feedb...

9. Depression and nursing

   TeddyBer replied to canoehead's topic in Stress 101

   Thank you for sharing this. I have ups and downs too. Some days I don't feel like I want to chit chat and it's all I can do to get through the day and keep my patients safe. It sounds like you're functioning well and you go and do your job. As long a...

10. Why do I feel like an outsider?

    TeddyBer replied to GGirll22's topic in Relations

    Tagalog spoken on the floor during work hours in front of non speakers is rude, unsafe and a form of bullying. Regardless of the intent, it's not ok. Aside from nursing staff that needs to understand what is happening, for example ME, as I'm in orien...

11. Giving my two weeks notice even though I'm not finished with orientation

    TeddyBer posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm not even done with my orientation and I'm planning to give my two weeks notice already. I want to leave on good terms. But I cannot see myself working there. Too many issues and unsafe care. The staff is nice but everyone speaks Tagalog, even dur...

12. Disrespectful patient

    TeddyBer replied to hwknrs's topic in Relations

    Hello TheCommuter I commend you for sticking up for yourself. I can understand your frustration in that situation. I am sorry that the rest of the staff did not support you. I was not there with you, so I cannot say if it was right or wrong how you h...

13. Doubts about job change

    TeddyBer posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I am a new grad RN and have worked as LVN for several years inpatient and outpatient. I recently stated a new job in nursing education and I'm doubting my choice. I'm really missing the patient care aspect and I find the teaching module tedious. Im ...

14. Quitting without a notice

    TeddyBer replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Professionalism

    I agree don't burn any bridges. I feel your pain as I was in a situation where I felt unsafe and I could barely drag myself to work the last two weeks after I gave notice. I ended up having some lag time between the end date and the start date of my...

15. Just can't do nights and I am finally accepting it.

    TeddyBer replied to BSNbeauty's topic in New Nurse

    Thank you for sharing your struggles with night shifts. I'm an lvn working in a hospital setting and I tried working some night shifts. Even after just one shift, I feel like it takes me two days to recover. I love the people and the pace of nights, ...
