Because she/he is one of those that believes prostrating yourself before the altar of making money for investors (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DO NOW) should be your passion. If not, you're just a horrible human being. Whatever. Don't take it seriou...

Why are you researching this topic? If you are a Nurse and you know anything about working as a Nurse, you already know why Nurses oftentimes do not seek help--hint: it has to do with their licensure and their employability. "work life balance"...

The troll NMs who get onto these sites to attempt to do to grads what they did to nursing students---brainwash them into believing that SACRIFICE is what is needed, whether you can feed your kids or not. Yeah...no. Do the whole dance for a year...

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 pay $21/hr. And if you leave and try to come back ...

Wrong. The person in the example is an experienced, second careerist and a highly educated Chemist. Which is precisely what some nurses find soOsoOOooooOOOO intimidating and threatening. I've seen this before many times. An older, more mature and l...

You're still a new grad. Leave the residency off of your resume and apply for the new grad residencies closer to you. "My former manager won't be a reference"===nursing at it's finest. He could speak to your punctuality, attitude and some other thing...

I will do what every good hospital HR and Risk Management person will do who is trying to prevent a lawsuit. Tell you I am so sorry, listen to your complaint, thank you for bringing the problem to my attention, and then promise that somehow I will fi...

Fullglass, you're being either willfully deceptive or ...well.... Bakersfield is....not a good place to live if you like breathing clean air and drinking water uncontaminated by fracking fluid or other oil field pollutants. Myoglobin, you have asked...

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 believe for one second that gossip was or is in any wa...

lol. PhOne. I was on one. I type quickly and was in between cases, so I didn't edit my grammar. Imma grammar police person as well. I was attempting --note attempting is now written how it was intended--was not translated with my phone into the pos...

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) or shift end report (.5 hr plus .5 drive in and o...

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 police". give her decent, relevant advice or like my ...

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 effective in a code scenario....FALSE EQUIVALENCY...

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 remarks than it does about OP. OP....not everyone...

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 has gotten really decent advice without the crappy...

P.S. Just as a warning for you. Domestic Violence or Workplace Violence is one of those things that can get your license pulled permanently. This jerk would have to go and file charges against you in court--similar to a domestic violence charge---a...

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 corroborate your story, or the techs' story. It's much li...

"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 work for them---do you think they'll come over and ...

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 verify---then your credibility is shot. No. I cannot work to...

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. Everyone wants to practice by the same mantra that my...

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 the student to aquire preceptorships on their own...

Bingo. My ex's group did this rountinely. Hired on fellows or "junior partners" at 1/5th the salary of a "full partner" (there was no buy in or anything like that. just a fancy name) He had to work 3 years as a "junior partner" and then they mysteri...

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 me--chances are good, historically--they won't la...

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 prosecution if you make a mistake---Good Sam laws are not a...

some people never adjust. it is a very odd thing. i worked weekend nights...just weekend...and i felt nauseated ALL WEEK LONG. i never really felt like i was awake or aware, i gained 18 lbs by eating the exact same things i would eat normally except ...
