    Have I been fired from new day surgery job?

    beachynurse replied to halsey's topic in General Nursing

    Asking for feedback never makes you look desperate. It makes you look like you are concerned about your nursing skills, your career, and the safety of your patients. In nursing it is not about us, it...

    Have I been fired from new day surgery job?

    beachynurse replied to halsey's topic in General Nursing

    When you spoke to the manager, did you ask for specific examples, or did you wait for the manager to offer them to you? I would probably ask for a meeting with the manager and ask for specific...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    beachynurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know what that woman was going through, but it sounds like she had reached her breaking point. So while you may deem it inappropriate, I would deem it more of a breakdown. Having empathy for...

    beachynurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I feel so sorry for you. Someday, you may be in the same position, and need someone to talk to. However, Karma is a funny thing. When you need someone, they may treat you as you have treated others....

    Cheating Classmates

    beachynurse replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    This both saddens, and angers me. What kind of nurses are they going to be? The lack of respect towards their instructors is appalling. I wouldn't dream of being so disrespectful towards my...

    Answering Max Number of Questions on NCLEX

    beachynurse replied to Rose Smith's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm so sorry, but when I read this and see that the max number of questions today is 140, all I can do is sit and laugh. What would the anxiety levels be if today's nurses had to take the NCLEX of...

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

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Longest Shift You've Worked

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    As a school nurse, I rarely stay late. The only reason I may have to stay is if there is an IEP, or 504 meeting that is held right after school, or if a child becomes ill, or gets injured at the end...

    Have you ever left a nursing job due to a patient/family member?

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think it may be from being over tired and anxiety from all the crazy hours that you work? I've never left a job due to a patient or a family. But I have left because of leadership. I also...

    Longest Shift You've Worked

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You have to let go. What you are doing is UNSAFE and will potentially lead to harm to a patient. That's why there are 3 shifts, the continuum of care.. I would not be proud of those numbers of hours...
