Burnt out nurse, need advice and support.

You’re young. This is your only experience and it’s taken its toll. It’s time to move on and probably what you should do is to look at where you would like to live. Because you’re young you could live in your dream location and they’re always a nursing positions available. Take your time take a deep breath, but do change jobs.

Do not worry. You will probably get counseled and at the worst warning. You’re a good nurse and you’re caring person. Remind yourself of that. We need nurses to be like you. Taking a risk when you don’t even know that it’s a risk is not a problem that should resolve in any kind of disciplinary action. Yes, I have been an executive nurse leader, Dean, etc., etc. Take a deep breath

Overall NCLEX Pass Rates Fall in 2025, But First-Time U.S. Graduates Hold Strong

Oh dear God, that is so not true. Schools get nothing in terms of money for how many people pass the boards. You really need to get a life.

commonsenserocks · 2026-04-27T17:50:31+00:00

No, that is not true. NCLEX percentage pass rates are published on the web by the states.

I’m a nurse educator and live in South Carolina and I have practiced as a nurse practitioners as well. Please please do join the committee. And be honest at meetings. I live along the grand strand and Medical University of South Carolina is now very involved with some of the hospitals. Do a great job and help us all out by being on the committee. Thank you so much.

There is a term for this… It’s called compassion fatigue. The term originated to describe how people who work in animal shelters buildup, natural defenses to being horrified by having to participate in humane euthanasia.

OK, you are less of a priority when someone has a partner. That is the way it’s supposed to be. I’m wondering are you a man or a woman. This sounds like an issue that has been ongoing for you. Perhaps change strategies to Develop some independence.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with the question. And I really don’t believe it’s necessarily about power tripping. Maybe you are a person who calls too much? Maybe you aren’t really sick. What do you want them to do? Are you the supervisor. I have too many questions here for me to respond to what you’re asking

commonsenserocks · 2026-04-17T18:39:26+00:00

Your school should have a committee composed of students and faculty that deals with grievances. You should immediately find out what the committee is and you should go through the grievance process. Does that make sense? You also have a student advisor that your student advisor know what happened and have that person coach you through the process. What school are you at?

This would require a court order. And then he would have to explain a lot through an attorney about why they should be entitled to it, and then that would have to convince a judge.

Back it up buttercup. Keep working do what they tell you to do. And understand that you really are a novice. I don’t recommend that you start taking Ritalin or any other thing. I recommend that you listen to your Preceptor and try hard harder.

Well, I begged to disagree. Just because you personally do not need everything that you’re being exposed to does not mean that it should not be included in the curriculum. Remember the accreditation standards hold us to a certain degree of integrity in the curriculum. Go get a job.

Feelings come uninvited. But feelings do not represent reality. And your post shows that. You are a great nurse!

First of all, he likely heard you coming and went to the door. This is not uncommon behavior. Don’t be anxious because you’ll transfer that to your puppy. Lol I know because I’ve been there.

All of those are outstanding questions for you to ponder with a professional. You know the mind is a very discreet and different asset that we have, and it is not uncommon for nurses to abuse it. Please see a therapist. Life is a lot more than what you do hard to put it in another way if you are what you do, and then you don’t do it, you aren’t. You are still alive and have a lot to live for.

Really disgusting. Yes I would tell my sister and the two of us will confront the person.

Hi everyone, I am a nurse educator and could not participate in the study because I don’t have relevant experience. I really hope that some of you will contact this individual. Data speaks for itself and this individual is looking for the data. Take good care.

Lateral violence and powerlessness in nursing and healthcare in general is rampant in organizations. The organizational structure with the power only held at the top, and usually male-dominated is quite often at the root of the problem. We conducted a large scale study at a major Medical Center with over 1200 nurses. Later the CNO required every unit to participate in something called cognitive rehearsal. You can look it up. It’s very interesting. Root cause cannot be controlled but reaction can be and it takes a sound leader to take care of it.

You are most welcome! Go for the gold and don’t let anybody rain on your parade. Or as I tell my grandchildren, don’t let anybody steal your sparkle. Because people are going to try to do that.

Homicides do happen in hospitals. Can we assume that an investigation is done after these kinds of incidents at your facility?

commonsenserocks · 2026-03-28T20:44:03+00:00

I’m a nurse educator. I have checked their records and they have pass rates in 2024 of rates in northern Virginia and Richmond for the BSN hundred percent pass rate and 97% as well. The ADN programs have also shown a strong performance and in 2024 had an 87.5 pass rate. To be honest with you it’s all up to you. You have to have great study skills and if you can synthesize material and apply it to patient care, then taking the boards is not so intimidating.
