    TitaniumPlates replied to Etgentile's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I lived in the deep South for 20 years. U*C, D**e, Wa*e, Vid*nt----ALL PAY the same for new grad nurses...it's called "collusion" and it's illegal....and oh....try and do something about that. They...

  6. Did I already screw up my nursing career?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in General Nursing

  9. How Gossip Hurts All of Us

    TitaniumPlates replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Nursing

    Gossip is the most deadly microbe, it has neither legs, nor wings; It's composed entirely of tales, and most of them have stings. When you hear something you like about someone you don't. I don't...

  11. Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    TitaniumPlates replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    It sucks. Bigly. I worked block 3's, 3 days off, block 4 (1 of which was an 8)---the "8" was never an 8, as I was still required to be either at shift start huddle (.5 hr plus .5 hr drive in and out)...

  12. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    i agree jed. she does have an attitude of entitlement. not attack, because she is frustrated and frightened. she needs GUIDANCE and LEADERSHIP. not attacks and the "i am the attitude adjustment...

  13. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    The point here I think is that if OP's preceptor is lazy and rogue for tiny, insignificant things, what is she doing for huge things? Whomever compared dumping a urine bag in the sink to doing what is...

  14. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    exactly this. the nurses here acting like OP is some type of abberant because she has a problem with spreading disease...says far, far, FAR more about the nurses making the demeaning and condescending...

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    jed it was a devils advocate statement...the possible point of view of the preceptor. the piling on isn't helpful and it only starts to prove that nurses look for weakness and attack. like hyenas. OP...

    TitaniumPlates replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  17. Fired for False Workplace Violence Accusation - Feeling Humiliated and Shamed

    TitaniumPlates replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Good God am I sorry that this happened to you. A couple of things come to mind. First, unfortunately, it is a "he said, she said" sort of situation. You were alone with this person. No one can...

  18. Work asking all the time if I can work extra At work and home

    TitaniumPlates replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    "You can feel like you are letting them down...." Exactly this. I am not a rabble rouser, but think about what that employer would do if you were injured on the job or at home or on the way to/from...

  19. Work asking all the time if I can work extra At work and home

    TitaniumPlates replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    boundaries. "I can't." "no. I cannot do that." More words just gives them the opportunity to coerce or guilt you ---and for you to make a mistake and lie about something that someone will...

  20. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

    TitaniumPlates replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, they're not connecting. I don't believe it's because of the OP--unless this person is an employer "testing" how their "work model" would go over with actual NPs or this is a recruiting effort....

  21. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

    TitaniumPlates replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had RF on my lower back and the ONLY professional I would trust to do it is an Anesthesiologist specializing in Interventional Pain Mgmt. I laugh when I hear about "all online" NP schools that allow...

    TitaniumPlates replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Gonna wade in--not to denegrate and horsewhip OP---because I really couldn't give a rat's rump how many jobs this poster had--I control me and OP controls themselves. If they end up at a facility with...

  24. Medical Emergencies in Public

    TitaniumPlates replied to nurse4321's topic in General Nursing

    No, no, and.....oh.....NO. First off, you're a new grad. Enough said there. Not trying to be offensive, but you need to understand that having "RN" after your name doesn't confer immunity to...
