1. Inappropriate nurses?

   Sadiem replied to hgraves64's topic in Relations

   No. You did everything necessary. His infringement didn't have any real negative consequences; so I would just drop it. If you ever run into him again, you might have the opportunity to teach him something. A statement such as, "I was offended by you...

   Sadiem replied to R8T3D_RN's topic in Emergency

   It sounds like you are gaining some satisfaction and you have resources and support. Every job will have some things you don't like. Don't be hasty; but don't avoid deciding. Decide so you can put your heart and mind at ease. When I have to make a di...

   Sadiem replied to Sadiem's topic in Geriatric

   I am sorry you are going through this experience. I have been there; so I know what you're talking about. Many times if the managers would simply communicate honestly with staff, and allow staff to come to them with suggestions, then make some of the...

4. I want to quit

   Sadiem replied to R8T3D_RN's topic in Emergency

   I agree with all the above. No point in suffering there. But I do have a few questions. Have you expressed your discomfort to the manager? How was it during your orientation? Do you have a buddy? I wouldn't leave without finding out whether anyone ca...

7. Nursing Home Geriatric nursing

   Sadiem replied to Sadiem's topic in Geriatric

   I have worked in sizes from 21 beds to over 400. I Liked the 125 bed ones ok. My absolute favorite as a DON was the 42 bed one. I was able to build a personal relationship with every employee in all departments, every resident, and family members who...

8. Nursing Home Geriatric nursing

   Sadiem replied to Sadiem's topic in Geriatric

   Totally agree. I always say everything about qualities starts and ends with the DON's leadership! So many of them become DON's with little notice and no preparation . That's what happened to me. The Don hired me as the infection control nurse and on ...

   Sadiem replied to Sadiem's topic in Geriatric

   I agree that the people are the most important part of the job. When back-biting and gossiping is prevalent; and the boss doesn't stand behind you it makes for a difficult experience. I worked as a pool nurse once and one of the other pool nurses got...

12. To tell or not to tell?

    Sadiem replied to nursingRN123's topic in General Students

    I would ask the instructor whether he/she has heard of quizlet. He/she should be aware that this resource is available, and may know about it already. You are agonizing over something that may have little importance. The most important issue right no...

13. How long did it take you to earn your degree?

    Sadiem replied to aveonurse2b's topic in General Students

    I understand the commute problem. It saves so much time and energy when the campus is close. Can you change any of the things you dislike? For instance, can you transfer to the community college and use those credits toward your degree? (I say it tha...

    CLVRN,BSN,RN did you have a degree is some other field before you started this nursing journey? That's incredible that you have a BSN in 2.5 years. OR did you take heavy, heavy course loads each semester?
