  1. Oh my, I'm a supervisor in acute care and my base pay is $42/hr. Tell me where you're working :)
  2. Holiday Scheduling

  3. False statement for terminating employment

    Call the hospital and ask them what their policy is for appealing a termination. If you belong to a union they can help you with this, otherwise call HR direct. Then DO IT in a timely fashion (whatever the policy states). What will probably happen is...
  4. Nursing Supervisors

    For that type of job I would definitely go for your MHA. You might also want to consider a combined degree (MSN/MHA, MSN/MBA).
  5. Nursing Supervisors

    That's basically exactly what I do. A few questions.... Who monitors restraint use? Is it done unit by unit or do you take part in that? What is your pay (feel free to pm me if you don't want to post it....then again, if I'm being too nosy, don't wor...
  6. Input regarding Charge Nurse Criteria

    Ridiculous. If I were you I'd take my experience and certifications elsewhere. Sounds like a no-win for you. EVERYONE needs experienced L&D nurses.
  7. New nurse in need of experinced advice

    I agree with the above poster. If you present the termination as a learning experience and you don't badmouth your previous employer, that goes a long way. You can also just say that it didn't work out, it was a poor fit, you realized it wasn't for y...
  8. Nursing Supervisors

    It is a really interesting job, never the same night, lots of interaction with lots of different people. I was a nurse manager for about 6 years before this job became available (at a different hospital). I have a BSN. I had about 6 weeks of precept...
  9. Nursing Supervisors

    Any other nursing supervisors/bed managers of acute care hospitals out there? I'd like to network a little and get some feedback on a couple of things... I am a nursing supervisor at a 300 bed acute care hospital. I work 7p-7a. I am responsible for s...
  10. Ending horizontal hostility/lateral violence

    The only fair policy in this instance is zero tolerance. Fire a few people and the dye will be cast.
  11. Should Supervisor help??

    Simmer down kids. This is the age old nursing debate...i.e. "Nobody else works as hard as I do". I realize that the OP was put in a dangerous position, there is no denying that. From my own experience, I have often found that when staffing is bad, it...
  12. Should Supervisor help??

    If YOU had a poop explosion I'd definitely help out....and fetch ya a pair of scrubs too.
  13. Should Supervisor help??

    Thank you. I supervise a 220 bed acute care hospital and my duties include bed management from the ED, PACU, and direct admits into and through the hospital; verifying that patients are where they are supposed to be based on their acuity, dealing wit...
  14. Many nurses I know, psych or otherwise, have mental health issues. We are a very high risk field to be in.
  15. Nightmare situation.

    God, that sounds like a horrific situation....I'm surprised you've lasted this long!! Absolutely file a grievance...just make sure you have dates and facts to back your claims. Look at it as a trial with her as the defendant. When I was still a unit...
