  1. Why do I feel like an outsider?

    TeddyBer replied to GGirll22's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

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

    TeddyBer posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  3. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    TeddyBer replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    "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!...

  4. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    TeddyBer replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    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...

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

    TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

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

    TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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....

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. Doubts about job change

    TeddyBer posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

  10. Doubts about job change

    TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

  11. Depression and nursing

    TeddyBer replied to canoehead's topic in Health, Stress Management

    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...

  12. Why do I feel like an outsider?

    TeddyBer replied to GGirll22's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

  13. Disrespectful patient

    TeddyBer replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague 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,...

  14. Quitting without a notice

    TeddyBer replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nursing 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...

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

    TeddyBer replied to BSNbeauty's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  16. My "ah ha" moment

    TeddyBer replied to Ebourne1's topic in General Nursing

    Very powerful, thank you for sharing this

  17. What to do when coworkers exclude you?

    TeddyBer replied to _Skittles_'s topic in Health, Stress Management

    Believe me I can understand this. I was the racial minority (Caucasian) at my first job out of nursing school and was excluded from the "club" ..... it hurt because I got along with my coworkers well...

  18. New nurse errors/feeling down

    TeddyBer replied to abrights3d's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't beat yourself up. The complications can occur regardless of how perfect you did the dressing change. It sounds like you are very conscientious and watched as the the wound nurse did the dressing...

    TeddyBer posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello fellow nurses, im needing some moral support! i stuck myself with an injection needle the other day and I am so upset. the patient is low risk and all measures have been taken to deal with this...

  20. Accidental finger stick

    TeddyBer replied to TeddyBer's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your comment. I was feeling fatigue when this happened. I know I need to take a break when I start feeling overwhelmed. It happened late in the day after a very busy day. I only mention...
