3. Nasty situation - need advice

   Repat replied to Repat's topic in Career Support

   OK, everyone, worked my first shift with her. Did my work, helped when asked, kept my nose out of everything else. It was very difficult, but I have decided that I am now in the perfect mind set to go agency - show up, do my job, leave. So, I will ...

4. Nasty situation - need advice

   Repat replied to Repat's topic in Career Support

   You are right, she did not make the decision to hire her - that is why I am leaving the department! Because I can no longer work for that manager. However, this person made the decision to apply for the job (a job that she refused to do when there w...

6. How many weekends are you required to work?

   Repat replied to Roni725's topic in General Nursing

   A little thanks for us WOWs?! No "regulars" work weekends where I am, because we WOWs work them. Now, though, people don't complain about having to work weekends, they complain about the WOWs getting a differential for working every weekend. Just ...

7. Any facilities that stop accepting pts if there is insufficient staff?

   Repat replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in General Nursing

   I have been told the same thing - we do not close while there are open beds. And, with a new manager, we now are not allowed to divert - all ER visits must be allowed, regardless of staffing. And, I cannot find anywhere a law, ruling, or guide that...

   Thanks, Hillary! Although my post was a month ago, it still isn't sorted out. Every other state has gotten their act together except DC. I finally called the commissioner's office and spoke to a live person, and found out that I needed to send $26...

11. Dr. Phil today

    Repat replied to eak16's topic in General Nursing

    Note: Although the above piece was written in Dr. Phil's style as a parody, the descriptions of his November 18 show, including the statements attributed to him, are accurate. He does talk like that, doesn't he? That's why I can't stand him for more...
