  1. Preventing call-ins

  2. Preventing call-ins

    That is definitely most of the problem. I just got a job as a nurse manager at a facility new to me. Our policy is that after so many call ins/write ups it's termination. I'm honestly a little scared that if we fully enforced the policy we would have...
  3. Preventing call-ins

  8. Iowa Nursing Students- HELP!!!

    Hawkeye's minimum passing score is 80% in most classes 85% in a few. Hawkeye has a good nursing problem and a high graduation/NCLEX pass rate. I attended for the LPN & RN program.
