It's so heartbreaking when you have to witness things like that. It's emotionally and it hurts. I'm glad to read about your son being okay. And much luck to you Hun.

Thank u for your response. í ½í¸Š I think I will be okay but its just super sad. I really don't like seeing the little kids in the ER. That truly breaks my heart.

Hi all. I work in the ER as a patient registrar and so far everything has been okay. Well lastnight a 16 year old came in and he was considered a John Doe because he didn't have any ID. He died on the way to the hospital and it was really sad. Well this morning my aunt sent out a text about his death and come to find out it was her step-son. And because I would never violate HIPA I just kept my mouth shut about him being in the ER lastnight and sent my condolences. When I saw his pic I did remember him from when we were younger. So my question to you guys is have you ever dealt with a family/friend death while working in the hospital? How did it affect your work? It's really been on my mind all morning because I was in the trauma room when they tried to save him but it just didn't happen. And I didn't tell my aunt bc that is a violation and it's not really my place. All answers are welcomed. 😊

I just seen your reply thank you for the info. I'm going to patient registrar. I do not have to do a long orientation bc I did 6 hours of computer training at home through a link they sent me. Afterwards I was told my supervisor will give me a call about the schedule and when to report to work. Thank you. I will keep you updated! I just finished my DD forms this morning.

Thank you. They just sent me an email today to complete my W4's, My DD info, and proof that I'am a US citizen. I guess I should be registered in the system by the end of the week. :) going to pick up my scrubs now.

Lol I feel the same way. I've done it for years and I've never had to deal with being evicted, my bills have always been paid. I couldn't believe my boss made that remark. So much disrespect!

Wow. Calling you stupid? That was really out of order. The nurse at my facility told a few of my co-workers that they were beneath her and all they do for a living is wipe ass. I was like wow

You are absolutely right. I just try to keep a smile and move on when I encounter someone that is rude.

Yes I personally never had a bad experience. But besides that I've also heard it from a few co-workers.

I know that. But I was just asking in general only because people tend to say " the nurses are rude." They tend to label them. That's why I asked. may I ask what you encounter was like as far as " rude nurses."

Do you think that nurses receive a bad reputation for having a bad attitude? Is that something you have heard before? I have never worked around RN that has made me feel like " lower class." ( so to speak) or made me feel like " wow, he/she has a bad attitude today. When I did my externship back in 2011, every nurse I came in contact with was very nice to me. Sometimes we would even have a little chit chat. But some people tend of have a different out look on nurses. I honestly don't think it's fair. I have a few family members that work in the hospital and they feel like the nurses can be a little rude and at times and lazy. But once again, I have never had that experience. I honestly think the nurses are the heart of any company and their jobs are pretty freaking difficult at times. Even though I'am not a nurse, I truly understand. But my question is, is it something you hear a lot? And so does it frustrate you as a nurse for people to feel that way?

Thank you Hun. I did all my paperwork ahead of time. Honestly I'am not doing my orientation at my hospital. They are sending me to their other location for orientation. Than afterwards maybe I can go back up to my hospital and see if I can take the picture.

I'am calm. I'am just a little nervous about starting a new job in general. Being around new people and what not. Hoping I will provide the best care for the patients. It's not really about the badges, I'am not super worried about that, I was just wondering was it normal to not be in the system.

The orientation is only an hour long so I wasn't sure what type of information they were going to give during that time. I was just wondering if the process was considered normal bc this is my first time working for a major hospital and I didn't want anything to interfere with my start date. And yeah my nerves are getting to me a little bit. I would assume that is normal since I'am human. But I do see what you are saying. Thank you :)

Evening all. I wrote an article last month about me getting hired into the hospital and what not. Well the hiring process has been long but it's almost over. My orientation is next Monday on the 8th. I did my W2 forms, showed my diploma, ssi card, Id and all that good stuff. :) but here is the thing, I spoke to human resources and they told me I'am still not in their " system" and In order for me to get my badge, I need to be registered into the system. They told me everything else went good as far as my background check, ursine test, and ect. And I still need to attend my orientation next Monday. So the HR rep told me to call back Friday to check to see if I'am in the system by than. Now I know HR are very busy little bees so I'am rushing the process. But my question is, Is it normal to not be in the system yet? Has anyone received their badge after their orientation? Or could It just simply mean they are backed up at the moment? At first I thought something was wrong on my end but I was told everything is fine. And if my background check was bad they would have told me a long time ago since that was the first thing I submitted. All answers are welcomed. I'am freaking out but I'am excited to start my new position.
