  1. Considering psych?

    I’ve worked as a psych RN for over 3 years. Before that I worked on a post op surgical floor for a few months and I hated it. Psych is a speciality that is either for you or it is not. I’ve seen psych nurses that were so stressed out they transferred...
  2. As someone who is a psych nurse it’s common that people feel it’s ok to attack us verbally and physically. I get tired of people who feel like just because they have psych issues they get a pass to be abusive. I’ve actually straight up asked patients...
  3. Yes, especially after people start working as an RN and realize this is not what they want to do for the next 40 years. I'm in psych and half the people I work with are in grad school for NP. I wonder where they will all go to work!
  4. The fact is, the doctor put in the discharge order and he signed it so it's no longer your concern that he's manipulating the situation saying he now wants to stay. You did the right thing telling him he had to leave and as someone who was A&O co...
  5. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    My first nursing job out of school was on a busy post op surgical floor with a high patient load. I can tell you I left one day before my orientation was up, so I was only there for 3 months and it was hell on Earth. My preceptors were horrible, just...
  6. I hate nursing

    Wow, people in these comments are so rude. If you don't have anything legit to add to the convo than don't answer. Well I hate nursing too and I have been doing it less than a year and worked on a hospital floor and now in a psych facility. I'm an RN...
  7. You don't want to work retail, trust me. I worked various retail jobs throughout my early 20s and those were some of the worst jobs I've ever had! People were so rude...I was verbally assaulted on a daily basis, disrespected, had things thrown at me,...
  8. You know the shift is gonna be a hot mess when ...

    When the nurse you are relieving is more excited to see you than usually cause they are ready to haul butt out of there and when they end their report sarcastically saying "Good luck!"
  9. Your Starting Salary?

    This is really sad but his thread started in 2011 and it seems the farther I scroll along the less the starting pay is as the years go on. I realize it depends on what area you live in but even in the Midwest I see nurses starting out at way more mon...
  10. How long was your new employee training?

    I'm a new nurse and started on a busy, high patient load, med surg floor with 12 weeks training but I had an awful preceptor and my training consisted of "here's your phone and your patient assignments, let me know if you have questions". Asking ques...
  11. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

    Assembly line at a bread factory on night shift. Lasted there maybe a week. You stood in one spot all night as metal trays came down and you had to quickly shape bread dough into whatever pattern was on the metal mold. And those trays just kept comin...
