  1. What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    I think this new generation of nurses (including myself) value mental health. I do not feel any remorse. Your employer can easily replace you if you dropped dead today. Take care of yourself and your...

  3. Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    ??‍♀️ That’s how I do things. I would feel absolutely terrible for leaving certain things that I couldn’t get to the next shift (starting a foley, giving blood, etc). If I had a bad night,...
  4. Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    I usually stayed to clean up any of my messes (so that day shift acknowledged I wasn’t just trying to get over on them. My shift ended at 7:30 and sometimes I would stay until 8-8:30). Anything I...
  5. I’ve been a nurse since 2018. Started off in Medsurg, but always knew I wanted to do L&D, PP, or Peds. I picked up a job as a homecare pediatrics nurse (to gain some kind of experience) while...
  6. What is up with the level of entitlement?

  7. Should I quit my program?

  10. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    There’s a difference between a progressive care patient and a tele patient. Not all tele patients are critical. May have A-fib, A-flutter, heart block etc. Like always, if something happens just...
  11. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?

    Wow, my story is exactly like yours! Well almost. Two years of medsurg, and now a home health nurse. Don’t think I’ll stay here, but it’s fine for the time being especially because of
  12. Help! Why is switching specialties so difficult?

    Having the same problem. I worked on a med surg floor for two years and picked up a job in pediatrics homecare on the side. I thought it would look better on my resume when applying for...
  13. Tired of the Fluff

    I only struggled with this when it was apparent that the professor had no clue what they were talking about and relied on power points entirely. Other professors used powerpoints to organize their...
  14. Is it wrong to stay in med-surg?

    If you like it, why would you ever think of leaving? I lasted in medsurg for two years, but could t handle it for various reasons. Handling 6 patients with frequent admissions at night is tough. Pat...
  15. Help. My clinical group dislikes me.

    You will hopefully get a new clinical group next semester. Please don’t waste your time thinking about them. Don’t attend the study groups anymore. Don’t hang out with them after school anymore....
