  1. They almost had me fooled

    Workitinurfava replied to HaggardRN's topic in General Nursing

    It will hold you up from getting your work done, so if that is your fustration, I get it. I worked at a hospital similar to yours. Some of the nurses were trained to do the US method for IV sticks but...

  2. My career is costing me my mental health and I am afraid

    Workitinurfava replied to CatRescuer223's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Nursing requires more than it sounds like you can give. I can't think of one position in nursing that will not exacerbate your symptoms. Put your health first and heal yourself before you worry about...

    Workitinurfava replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

  5. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Workitinurfava replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I feel you will have to find some sort of peace with something or you won't hold a nurse position for long going forwards. I also think you may want to look into another career as a back up. Try...

  7. First acute care job: is it possible that they can switch me ove to night shifts without warning?

    Workitinurfava replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in General Nursing

    I understand. Hopefully they won't force you to do it. Many places with a contract or not can try to force you or find away to push you out of the position if you don't comply. Try to fight it if they...

  10. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Problem is there will always be someone willing to take her job instead of fighting for what is right. Money is the root. Hospitals want to make as much money as possible and get away with doing...

  12. I quit during orientation.

    Workitinurfava replied to Bettyloublu14's topic in General Nursing

    Some times certain things that happen to us are meant to show us something we need to see. I don't think it is an issue of nursing not being for you because the pace of certain positions depends on...

  13. Day shift?

    Workitinurfava posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work the night shift (12 hours in a hospital on a mental health floor) and I am being offered the day shift but I don't want to work it. Am I crazy? Truth is for some odd reason where I work, the...

  14. Day shift?

    Workitinurfava replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

  16. Day shift?

    Workitinurfava replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

    Everything you said is correct. On the day shift there are so many people needing so many things at the same time. The interruptions come too often. I like my life outside of the hospital as well. I...

  17. Day shift?

    Workitinurfava replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

  19. Unsure of what I am suppose to be doing as a Psychaitric nurse?

    Workitinurfava replied to fworkentin's topic in Psychiatric

    It will make sense as time goes on. The main thing with psych patients is you want to know if they are getting better or worse. You must know their baseline

  20. Medication Error?

    Workitinurfava replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you did the patient a favor. An aspirin is usually taken in the morning anyway. Make sure not to let your nerves get to you due to pressure at work, take a break, eat something healthy and...

  21. New grad no preceptor.

    Workitinurfava replied to NewGrad613's topic in General Nursing

    First you need to ask for one nurse, if you get one and he or she says no after the boss confirms it, then say well this is what I was told, know he/she may have an attitude. Stay cool and if the...

  22. New grad no preceptor.

    Workitinurfava replied to NewGrad613's topic in General Nursing

    Management may as well feed you to the crocodiles. They can find someone, they either don't care to or management is not respected by those under him/her. I say this because management, well good...

  23. Black woman wearing puff pigtails to work

    Workitinurfava replied to HoopNurseMomo's topic in General Nursing

    Unless it is a high quality wig and put on properly, it will be damaging moreso helpful. Most of the wigs AA women wear are cheap and add to hair loss. Only because a good quality wig is super...

    Workitinurfava replied to HoopNurseMomo's topic in General Nursing

    On one hand, I thought, of course it is fine but then I see situations to where, people have been fired and threatened to change their hair style( AA people). It should be okay. Is there a hair policy...
