" There is more to this..... I'm sorry. This makes no sense, at all. A chaplain did this? " Yup...another one. (see other comment posted on this).

" It sounds like that chaplain needs to take a Bible refresher course! Chaplains should never be malicious, their job is to provide spiritual support and guidance." Naivety is not a sin...but it can be dangerous. The nature of a Chaplains position i...

" the educator is validating their complaints and saying things like " back when I was a nurse this was the nurses job and we didn't have NAs and nurses shouldn't be treating NAs like slaves" and says these things to the nurses at staff meetings with...

"respect is earned. " This is horizontal violence thinking. Respect is given from 1 human being to another in every facet of life. A new nurse is a colleague credentialed to begin transition into the nursing profession. What part of this is escapi...

" Come down off your high horse. You will find that the way to GET respect is to start by GIVING it. And you're not doing that.​" Um...neither are you~!

Um...I'm still stuck at the agreement to work for free juncture. Please don't do it, agree to shadow & even assist during a shadow period. 1 day is beyond generous...and 4 hours sufficient. Next you stated: " Also there is no union and they ha...

..."None of this finger pointing does anyone any good." Sure. What excellent finger pointing. Not being comfortable with a surgeon identifying a person of color as 'buckwheat'. So...if a surgeon identifies you as the a royal c*nt one day. I'll ma...

" ...Hospital staff don't have to be "from other cities" in order for the atmosphere of a hospital to be inclusive and respectful of everyone...." Nope. But it definitely helps if you have an environment where racial hatred is acceptable to bring mo...

"My big question is what is the approximate age of this surgeon and chief of surgery. Yes, there still are people who act this way. Part of it has to do with age. During the time I have been alive, it has gone from ******, negro, colored up to now be...

"Please tell your "coworkers" I am retired now, but I worked for 34 years as an LPN, and we were busy doing our jobs. We didn't have time to discuss the weight of our coworkers. I was chubby then and I still am, so what. " Lmbao Exactly!

" Why are you being so rude as to call the OP a kiddo? How do you know how old she is? Nice ageism. Get over yourself -- seriously." ...um I think it's just an expression in terms of new to the field not said or intended for any insult...unlike your ...

"...blah, blah, Take your bad attitude and anti-progressive nature someplace else Ms. Grump." Wow! You have to be the most obnoxious hypocritical new grad (I'm embarrassed) I've read in a minute. It was NO insult given only truth of which you for ...

" I almost forgot why I left nursing in the first place. Now I really like my new coworkers. I get along with my team. YES! But I was brought to reality when a doc called me an idiot. " If you were gonna leave anyway over this, and even if not: I pro...

" While I totally agree that women need to support each other and I live by that mantra I don't really think it has much to do with this discussion. There has been plenty of mention of physician's competence in this thread and I've personally had it ...

"Radiant Lynne, keep on trucking'. You figured it out, as you command a higher salary you become a target. That way they can hire another RN at a cheaper cost to them. Quality does not matter to management only the money. It happened to me, I was in ...

In all honesty and I say this because I know the beast called Nursing Administration and those that feed the beast (compliant to beast RN's-I'm a new RN, BSN but this is 2nd career for me in different part of health care beginning around age 30 somet...

" I'm going to carefully rethink my upcoming options.." Yes...do what is best for 'you'. It's a wide range of healthcare related careers. You really know if a career fit is a fit or not. Take care.

With all due respect; please get thick-skinned and have a confidence not based on another's opinion like your employer firing you (I say because I read it several times); you were able to graduate and pass NCLEX then you are capable...period! it's...

" The patient was on critical piggyback drip for his failing heart. It wasn't found in the hospital. So they ( my hospital) had to transfer him back where he came from.." I figured that out from the get go. I'm lol surprised so many experienced nurs...

Not to mention the sad reality of Industry paying minimum wage to non-minimum skilled employees out of pure greed because in our political climate they can get away with it. Be angry enough at the system and change that or shut up about folks demand...

I'm so sick of women hating themselves, regardless of the generation. I'm not referring to you just the spirit of this question. I have question for all: When is the last time you heard a doctor ask this question? EXACTLY.

" Then you see labor shortages and wages rise (or standards fall)." Um...labor shortages usually translate I thought into more job security and power to demand a higher wage. Also, changes in business regulation (far-reaching hand of big gov on ind...

Bull *** lol. He's not trying to work in the NICU with ' tiny, very sick little people'. I know for a fact that no vaccination based on contraindications or even religious reasons (i.e. Muslim) are allowed at many programs incl one I'm aware of loc...

" Erythropoesis- the concern for me is not the bacteria or virus in the vaccination, rather the concern is an anaphylactic/mast cell reaction to one of the additives, preservatives or fillers. " I'm glad YOU clarified that in that I was going to lol ...

Coppin will accept all meeting requirements until class filled then 'wean' out all even remotely 'weak' throughout the entire 4 years! No apologies. This alongside incredibly difficult exams. I compared practice questions with colleagues in study ...
