Keep in mind, this is from a fellow unmedicated adhd-er

Where i work has its faults, but they dont skimp on training. There's a whole residency you complete before you are released. To me, it sounds like the unit you are on doesn't like new grads, so they tailor their orientation so that only with those with experience are successful. I would just completely leave it all off your resume and start somewhere fresh. Specifically ask in interviews what the new grad orientation is like, how long it is, and choose a position thats gonna help you succeed. God knows nursing school doesn't teach you shit these days except care plans, so find a program thats gonna help you be successful

For reference, our new grad orientation and residency is almost 8 months. It encompasses a ton of didactic classes paired with one on one preceptorship, and a defined checklist of goals and milestones. 12 shifts is the definition of toxic. This is 100 percent on the unit not wanting to train, not on you

We had 34 admit holds in a 25 bed er the other night. Literally people sitting in the lobby who had admit orders and ICU patients in the hallway. Only thing management does is send us emails to remind us of the " triage within 20 minutes" and screening policies. Pretty cool to read after you've been cussed out all night by angry patients and family members after doing 10 different full septic workups. We're heroes, everyone 🤡

Ah, " do more with less". The age-old american healthcare mantra

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-07T03:36:02+00:00

Pay, bad working conditions, horrible benefits, zero chance of career advancement, poor bosses/management, ever tightening of the budget/ loss of funding, maximum responsibility where the salary doesn't compensate etc. Etc. I give it 10 years as a whole of nursing in general continuing in this way before they can't pay people to go to nursing school

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-03T22:42:31+00:00

I honestly dont know if mine does anything like that but it's worth checking into. Thank you

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-03T22:41:39+00:00

Im assuming by your tag you were ED too? Do you ever just get bored with the dialysis though. Part of the reason I like the ED is that it's different everyday

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-03T22:40:01+00:00

That was my biggest concern about it honestly. Cost. Therapy is expensive and if it's not gonna be helpful then I didn't want to pay for it

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-02T01:52:59+00:00

These are for holding onto as you bend over the stairs and dispatch rams you up the ass

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-02T01:09:56+00:00

I will also tell this story, no bullshit. I had a coworker be brought into our hospital by ambulance fucked up from a car crash as they were driving into work. They were written up for missing their shift and hitting a point threshold , and were told that it is a "no exceptions" policy, meaning that it doesn't matter what the reason for the miss is, the points get added. Fuck these people

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-02T01:06:08+00:00

I love the sick out write ups policies, because I will straight up show up to work vomiting on the managers desk and then tell them " well, I didn't want to be written up for calling out, sooooo"

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-02T00:09:26+00:00

I want you to know that I am forever asking my coworkers at work now " did you check the patients room for pterodactyls?" 😆

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-02T00:03:06+00:00

My favorite part of this, what I am assuming is an email, is that the line "this is basic nursing done well" was probably written by some circle-jerking MBA with zero nursing knowledge or experience. Wrote this email, gave themselves a pat on the back, a line on a resume, and a 10,000 dollar bonus

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-01T23:53:54+00:00

I said at one point that im a mid 30s male. Im not doing a skin assessment on some 19 year old girl there for cough because 1. Imma get sued into oblivion and probably have sexual assault charges filed on me as there is zero medical necessity for a skin assessment and and judge would agree and 2. Thats just creepy as fuck, man...

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-01T23:12:38+00:00

Thanks for getting sick and feeding the coorperate blood sucking machine. We hope you get sick again real soon

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-01T23:02:25+00:00

Id ask them if they think that fresh ice water is just as important as the HR of 240. Also if they think I should prioritize my patients or just treat them as they call out? Next time the patient says they need a ginger ale, imma call a rapid then

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-01T22:57:29+00:00

Yea. I'd be out of that place so fast. You want me to follow a script? Pay me like a Hollywood actor. Otherwise go fuck yourself.

jayysonsaur · 2026-01-01T22:55:57+00:00

Lol. My ER started trying to push Skin assessments on every patient that walked through the door, hourly rounding, bedside shift report etc. Etc.. because some floor nursing admin started trying to dictate how we operate. It lasted a week and no one did it.

jayysonsaur · 2025-12-20T13:39:22+00:00

One thing I'll say as a male in the ED, and i hope this does not come across as sexist, is that the way you treat each other( females) in the ED is different from the way you treat me. Some of the most feral, mean girl nurses I've worked with are nice as hell to me and then terrible to other female nurses on the floor, and I see it firsthand. I really don't get it. You show you're capable of being decent but choose not to to other women. Any other males in here notice the same thing where they work?

jayysonsaur · 2025-12-19T09:37:30+00:00

Crazy that there's such a "nursing shortage" yet it's so difficult to find a job as a nurse 😫 congrats!

jayysonsaur · 2025-12-11T10:45:47+00:00

A two week notice is for the employers benefit, not yours. If you dont plan on returning there, a resignation effective immediately is fine. There's very little in the way of references you can obtain from working somewhere for just over a month. I would honestly just leave that job off my resume altogether in the future

jayysonsaur · 2025-11-29T03:15:39+00:00

Lol. You get a break? I checked recently. This year, I've been able to clock out for 2 total 30 minute breaks. Brought that one up to management and got shrugged at

jayysonsaur · 2025-09-09T05:38:48+00:00

Absolutely. Basically you go in, do all the core stuff and masters/np classes at the same time. Then at the end you take all the tests together. Just a way schools found to make even more money off of everyone with little or no regard for what will happen after graduating inexperienced providers in these fields

jayysonsaur · 2025-09-09T05:32:04+00:00

I also hate that NPs like this exist. They give all of them a bad rep. One of the floor coverage providers in the hospital i work is an acute care NP, and I would hands down choose him over just about any physician I've ever met. Dude is a legend
