1. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

   GreatNurse04 replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Med-Surg

   I think I missed something. You got 3 days orientation on MedSurg/Tele after working in LTC and now you are asking AN nurses how the assignment is made out?

2. Sabotaging in nursing

   GreatNurse04 replied to Dexterosa's topic in General Nursing

   In the past I witnessed a manager take a call from another manager at another place. The other manager was looking for info on a potential hire. The manager in the room with me started her sentence with "off the record" and continued her bad review o...

3. I want to quit nursing.

   GreatNurse04 replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

   In order for you to keep working in nursing, you will need to ignore many things. Some of those things will be catty coworkers and their poisonous cliques.

4. Bad Weather--Hospitals could care less about your safety

   GreatNurse04 replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

   Sad to say "no" they don't care.

5. Sabotaging in nursing

   GreatNurse04 replied to Dexterosa's topic in General Nursing

   I know the environment you are talking about. I would not have done half the favors you did. All hospital units are cliques or most of them are. I learned long ago to never tell the truth. Act like your unit is "heaven" unit no matter what. Never te...

6. File this one under "things I think but won't say"...

   GreatNurse04 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

   "Things I think but won't say" You are such an a-hole! I can't believe you said that this time! (to my superior)

7. Why Nursing Sucks...

   GreatNurse04 replied to pixiern15's topic in Relations

   I agree with you. I have been in similar situations such as the assignments and other nurses leaving the floor. A different set of rules for some. The doctors are different everywhere. Some are nice. Some not so much.

8. Please help :(

   GreatNurse04 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

   Condolences to you. You have been through a lot & you were a good employee not taking off for those injuries. You had a virus. What can you do about that? Sounds like they were jealous of your time off. That happens. If you don't feel like coveri...

9. Anyone ever think about getting their NP

   GreatNurse04 replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

   Not a school nurse but I see what the pros are. I would like to be a NP. I think I'd be a good one but don't feel I'd want to do the time in the classroom or online to complete it.

10. Onward to Texas!

    GreatNurse04 replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    I didn't find the South West friendly. Just sayin'. I like the South East better for southern charm.

11. Totally Disapointed

    GreatNurse04 replied to OSUFan1's topic in Rehabilitation

    Wait- You ambulate Myrtle and Frank everywhere you work as a nurse!

12. My preceptor is everything they taught us NOT to be...

    GreatNurse04 replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Relations

    This is a game in the nursing world. If you question your preceptor more than the smallest amt., you will get on their shite list and that is not a good place to be. Your manager will go with the preceptor over you every time. The preceptor is a pro...

13. 1 month new ICU job. I want to run

    GreatNurse04 replied to RNMeagz's topic in Critical

    I feel sorry for you. It sounds like her expectations are too high and unrealistic. Wish I had some solid advice but I don't.

14. Home care RN looking for new job options that aren't bedside

    GreatNurse04 replied to NetaSo's topic in General Nursing

    Case Managing only 9 patients and that doesn't work for you and this is your third area in a year, then I would say you probably won't like much in bedside nursing- that's true! Since you only have one year under your belt, I would say that your cho...

15. Seven Hells: Vent

    GreatNurse04 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in New Nurse

    I have heard it can get difficult. Managers can keep you from moving within the facility based on time there, progress, and also if you are written up for anything.
