You are in a tough position, if you have a back problem, sitting at a desk job isn't going to help you anyway. Keep trying for various jobs, not all will require experience. I found that being persistent when looking for work pays off. Don't give up...

sdugan I was terminated in a similar fashion. They took situations and turned them into major issues. I told friends about it just to get a sanity check if I really did something off. In the end, I realize..... if they don't like you and it could be...

I wonder about you also !!!! ummmm...I really don't like to judge anyone and bullying is not in my interest. However, I think you get a kick out of bullying.... This girl needs some coaching and she is well over her head....people like you are just...

Starl I am sorry for the multitude of negative responses you are receiving on the board here. I also have been blasted by them. I am new to nursing also, I also moved to different agencies, facilities looking for my right fit as well. I do not thin...

Hi Neezy I relate to you as well, I can relate to the misery. I just don't know how you stuck with it for so long. I have been slammed on this forum also, I asked the same question in a previous posting and got anywhere from ...are you really a nurs...

I have been reading so many articles of the trials and tribulations and I can relate to more of them than I want to. In ways, I wish I read the articles in this website before I put myself through the very tough nursing school. I am only a one year L...

BSNbeDONE, ASN, BSN, LPN, RN thank you, I think this was a culture shock... I intended on getting to exactly what you said, "infomatics" !! I just want back into a corporate position. I work best there. I can handle politics much better than what I ...

Well you got your point out there and your judgment....great job

Alex, I did not have TErMINATIONS..... I quit the home care...like I said...if you can read I quit the cart pushing job.....if you can read I was let go in my hospice job....yes..... and this was because I was not a good fit ..as the HR person put it...

ok happy people.... you took your swings you all must make the fit....yes, you are right, I cannot fit into this sector. I do not need a therapist as a crutch or meds to open my eyes to a very miserable profession you all seem to complain about. I'm...

Yes, totally interesting. I had 36 years of IT experience with the same company, a fortune 500 company as well and with none of the nonsense I have been encountering, imagine that !!!! imagine not sticking it out in nursing positions I find problem...

I agree with this, it is no longer safe for you there. If you stay, they will continue to find things to pick on until you are fired. Did they give you a policy handbook of some sort ? an attorney is going to ask you this. Not that this will help you...

commuter...you said it well they do tend to take advantage, they don't want to be inconvenient in finding the replacement so, they but the burden on the nurse. More importantly, I have seen too many times when management could care less about a patie...

i did it at 55... I'm having a hard time with the culture... but, you are not too late

I knew it was coming. I was not happy with the way I was being treated. I woke up in the morning dreading what might be ahead for the day. I loved the work, the clients, they loved me. However, my company did not appreciate me. I was badgered for t...

Hello vspaniel I live in New Jersey, a new LPN also. I left the IT field for nursing. You will not make 50K for quite a while. A full time job is next to impossible to get (it seems south jersey has more job opportunities - some hospitals still hir...

Hi guys I'm dreading the day ahead.... I am new to nursing, it is my second career, so I am ancient. I don't even have 6 months into the field and I'm having trouble. I work in hospice...when I started I raved how much I loved my job, since then, thr...

been there....!!! oh...you made me laugh, you lightened the situation !! thank you Yes...I think you are right... a nut case for sure. I'm glad I am not her employee and I feel so terribly bad for her HHA's that work so diligently there and are afra...

Hi.. there is no option to apologize again. My mgt now feels the comment to me was hostile and that the personality fit is not right between us. This DON has been having random issues with other nurses from outside agencies and not because of age. ...

Kay, I had many talks with my team members since this happened. I learned many other nurses were pulled out of this facility because of trouble with this same DON. My company relies on the facilities to bring in business. So, unfortunately they canno...

Nuguy what really happened is exactly what I described. If you read my post, I was called out to the hallway to be reprimanded for not introducing myself. There was no (missing the point) and nothing was mentioned to me about being reprimanded for p...

thank you moriah02 I thought this also..I was more concerned about the gasping pt than saying my greeting. I was scheduled to go again at the end of the week. When I saw her, I nodded my head and smiled (what I felt was an alternative to a verbal ac...

Hi Commuter, You are right for what ever it is worth, I will not push the cart. I did one day of it, falling behind, not going to the bathroom or taking lunch, no time to do a treatment. I realize there are short cuts, but my conscious would not le...
