  1. Which is worse? Having non clinical RN experience or no experience at all

    Workitinurfava replied to tambat's topic in General Nursing

    A great pathway to becoming a triage nurse is being an ER nurse first, however since this is a psych position, it may

  2. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    Workitinurfava replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Can you blame

  3. Feeling like a new grad all over again. Stick it out?

    Workitinurfava replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    Stay calm and carry on. Ask any questions to help you learn and if your preceptor is not around ask who is. Your preceptor and your team will be needed to help you adjust. Give yourself time to think...

  4. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    Workitinurfava replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I saw two people I worked with get denied workers comp and be forced to return back to work before they completely healed. They also had to take a pay

  5. Notified of call before being on call

    Workitinurfava replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    Her post shows two different things (not notified about being called in/but knowing I was on call). See below... It is not straight forward. "I was on call from 7a7p on monday. Was at work Sunday and...

  6. Managing a Department/No Experience in Area

    Workitinurfava replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed a trend lately in nursing settings, some managers are not nurses. They are people with business degrees. If you are the only nurse on your shift and your manager can't help you with...

  7. Notified of call before being on call

    Workitinurfava replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on where a person works as far as how on-call works so in that case, I will leave this discussion

  8. I really want to do the right thing and I need help!

    Workitinurfava replied to HRCRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You have no solid proof, but you can report. You could be right but you could be wrong. Be prepared for both outcomes. This type of thing should be completely anonymous so that the nurse doesn't find...

  9. Notified of call before being on call

    Workitinurfava replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    Does a grown adult need this type of treatment? I don't think so. If a nurse knows when they are supposed to be in and they don't show, then they should deal with the repercussion. If they come in,...

  10. Notified of call before being on call

    Workitinurfava replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't a text message be sent and then if you don't respond, it's assumed you are coming in. Why does one need to engage with someone on the phone hours before they are

  11. Current job refuses to give professional references

    Workitinurfava replied to P_B_Q's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Some places of employment want two supervisors and 3 coworkers. It has happened to me more than once and I had supervisors tell me no but I am friends with some of my supervisors. Not sure why a...

  12. Nurse Practitioner Called a Drug-Dealer at Sentencing

    Workitinurfava replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I get it, many foreign nurses must send money home to help their families but it is real messed up that she was more concerned about that versus the people here that she was supporting being addicts....

  13. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    Workitinurfava replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    It looks like the state hospital found the perfect reason to fire her. They probably figured with her injury and age, it would cost them way more money to keep her employed. This hits home as I am a...

  14. Help me, Allnurses, I make bad choices when I'm anxious!

    Workitinurfava replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Find a way to relieve the stress. A lot of the same things can happen at the next job. You will have to start over with everything, loose pay and deal with who knows what. Sometimes it is a matter of...

  15. I am not good at nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Lostinorlando's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to suggest the nightshift until you get stronger in your skills if you can do it I recently switched. I have done it in the past and am now back to it. Dayshift can be rough. The...

  16. Onerous Onboarding With Nasty Nellie, The Job That Lasted a Week

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Well why don't they do things right and prevent it?, it makes me wonder. I don't think staff want to quit due to the bad conditions of the place, improper training

  17. Why I Quit Medical Device Sales To Become A Nurse

    Workitinurfava replied to Sarah Jividen's topic in Nursing Career

    Interesting story. Many nurses usually try to go the opposite way you did. It is all about finding one's peace in life. If your's is being a nurse, then so be it. Do you think you will ever go back...

  18. Help my first job feels like a nightmares

    Workitinurfava replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Been there and done that. I remember the 500 pound cart rolling over my foot every once in a while to only add fuel to the flame while I was passing meds for 30 patients, whom the majority of were...

  19. I don't know if I want to be a nurse anymore :/

    Workitinurfava replied to confusednurse10's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I worked postpartum as a CNA for a couple of years so I can understand your pain. You end up having the mom and baby count as one patient. When the deliveries happen, it seems that all the babies get...

  20. Onerous Onboarding With Nasty Nellie, The Job That Lasted a Week

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Every year more nurses graduate. It is not making a huge difference in the "nursing shortage". I feel it is keeping our pay rate low and making it easier for places of employment to abuse us. Things...

  21. What now?

    Workitinurfava replied to Crookshanks24's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying she should not go elsewhere. I am saying that at some point something will have to work, otherwise she will hop around her whole enviornment and run out of places to go. If she really...

  22. I should be happy with this new "dream" job

    Workitinurfava replied to proudRN's topic in General Nursing

    Think about the last job....then say I will stay

  23. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Realistically someone has to be a nurse. We can't do without them. Good, bad or ugly. It is a matter of it being something you can or want to

  24. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Workitinurfava replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for leaving. That is all I have to
