  3. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    Workitinurfava replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  4. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    Workitinurfava replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Job Hopping? Unhappy New Nurse

    Workitinurfava replied to styles0731's topic in General Nursing

  8. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Workitinurfava replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see it as an issue as long as they aren't breaking the law. If it helps the nurse to cope with the job and pads his/her pocket some because raises rarely happen and if they do, they are...

  9. Working short

    Workitinurfava replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital admins are pretty sure that nurses will not speak up and/or if they do nothing will come of it legally so they continue on abusing the nurses. The feel they make up for it by tossing a...

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You may find that nights is doable if you have the right support system. Someone will need to watch your child so you can sleep. Is that an option? You can learn through on the job training....

  15. Married or in a committed relationship students

    Workitinurfava replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I also want to add that your wife will have to speak up (say what she is going through so that you can help her). You may spend your whole life trying to figure it out if she doesn't tell you. You...

  17. Working weekends

    Workitinurfava replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing
