  1. "I don't know why she has to get such a lowly job just to be a nurse"

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My aunt said this about me to my grandmother when she heard I was going to be trying to get my CNA license. 1. Nursing school will be more likely to accept me if I gain experience from having this...

  2. How to Deal With the Guilt

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    At my job, there just aren’t enough resources and there isn’t enough time to take care of patients the way they deserve to be taken care of. There is an unbelievable amount of paperwork, and we...

  3. What would you do?

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have coworkers who honestly just do not care. A patient who wasn’t mine approached me and requested a PRN and stated they needed it pretty badly. I informed the patient’s nurse, but she said...

  4. Struggling

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently started a job in a facility that is turning out to be really awful. My coworkers don’t seem to care about the patients, and they don’t do their jobs. Management’s new solution was to...

  5. Struggling

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I am definitely contemplating leaving this job, but I really don’t want to be seen as a job hopper! I’ve been a nurse for 3 years and this is my 4th job ? I’ve been trying to find a place where...

  6. Feeling Humiliated and Discouraged

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    The charge nurse on my unit will be leaving in a few months, and I think management was counting on me to take over as new charge nurse after that. Management just told me that I don’t have the...

  7. Feeling Humiliated and Discouraged

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I think there’s some other reason they want me off the unit because it makes no sense to me either. Seems like they would just replace the charge nurse and then I’d just work with the new...

  8. Feeling Humiliated and Discouraged

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I’ve only been at this job for a little under a year. I’m just going to take the experience and use it for whatever is in store for me

  9. PSA

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am so frustrated with my coworkers right now. Here’s a wild idea: if you have a problem with something I’m doing, please come to me and I’ll be happy to fix it. I’m still new (less than a...

  10. If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry: Nursing Things that are so Frustrating They're Funny

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    1. Just walked onto unit for my shift and grabbed my assignment sheet, haven't even take report on anyone yet..”The ER is calling report on your patient coming" 2. Only like 25% of my patients'...

  11. I don’t want to work extra!

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Lately it seems like I’m always being asked to stay late, come in early, or work on my off days because people keep calling out. I just want to work my scheduled shifts and be left alone, but I hate...

  12. “So and so’s family member is calling but they don’t have the pin number”

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have had this happen so many times and I don’t know the right way to handle it. So many times the secretary or another nurse will say “so and so’s family member is on the phone but they...

  13. 16 Hour Shifts

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My manager keeps texting me on my off days asking me to work 16 hour shifts. I find 16 hour shifts extremely brutal, and the drive home is not safe at all. How do I set healthy boundaries? I feel bad...

  14. Forced into ICU With No Training

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a stepdown-nurse. The hospital tried to float me to the ICU to take my own assignment of patients with no training whatsoever. When I expressed concerns to my manager, I was told “go home and...

  15. 16 Hour Shifts

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    My manager called me in to work a 16 hour shift. At the end of it I was feeling really nauseated from lack of sleep and threw up all over myself on the way home. Therefore I called in for tonight, and...

  16. Forced into ICU With No Training

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    On my unit we don’t have ventilator patients, and the most invasive lines we have our CVLs. No arterial lines. Also no insulin drips, no levophed, no sedative drips. There’s just a lot of ICU...

  17. Using PTO

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been at my job for almost 9 months, and haven’t used any PTO yet. I’m thinking of using some soon, but I’m not sure how to go about it. Should I tell my manager far enough in advance that...

  18. Using PTO

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    The part that confuses me is, how do I know which days to request off before I know which days I’m expected to work in the first place? Like, lets say I requested March 1st and 2nd off...I may not...

  19. So Sick Of Rudeness At Work

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    1. A patient was about 2 seconds from leaving AMA so I paged the MD because that’s the quickest way to get in touch. “First of all let me just say that I don’t like to be paged.” Like, the...

  20. Floated to ICU with no experience

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I’ve been a medsurg nurse for about a year. Today I was randomly floated to the ICU even though I’ve never worked on an ICU at all. I absolutely did not feel comfortable with this. Is this common...

  21. Unsure of My Next Move

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I started out right out of nursing school on med surg floor of a hospital. I worked there for 7 months before Coronavirus hit. At that point my manager granted me a leave to figure out what would...

  22. This is NOT what shift report is about!

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work my tail off to take care of my patients. I give everything I have during my 12 hour shifts. But it never fails, at shift report you bet the oncoming nurse will find something to criticize me...

  23. Floated to ICU with no experience

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Got a pt who needed to be intubated. I’ve never cared for an intubated pt. before. I will be talking to my manager about how unsafe this all

  24. Feel Like I’m Completely Failing...

    missnursingstudent19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Came into a shift absolutely bombarded with things. Critical values I needed to report on multiple patients and it took forever to find out which doctor I was supposed to tell because pt. usual Dr was...

  25. If It's Not one Thing It's Another, Just Need to Vent

    missnursingstudent19 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
