  1. Injured Nurses on Compensation

    janfrn...what are CPers? not familiar with that one, also as far as the people going to neonatal instead..do they have a choice? just asking because when i was on light duty, some of my coworkers were outright rude and nasty to me over my restrict...
  2. I have back issues which led to me losing my job, since i am unable to sit or stand without pain, at least for any good amount of time (say more than an hour total), I can't work..although of course the workers comp ins. agendy and my former employer...
  3. Need a vent -- disabled parking

    i have a spinal condition (too many things to go into detail) but it means than the only position that i'm reasonably comfortable in is reclining..i have pain meds ( a fentanyl patch continuously as narcotics for breakthrough pain), i don't go out mu...

    my job..when i was in charge i was usually more busy with patients than other nurses..(300 del month) when it was busy..which was always..charge nurse would need to take the triage area..which basically was everyone coming up from the ECU for pregnan...
  5. work while on narcotics?

    I have lots wrong in my back..I suspect that my pain is a combination of all of them rather than just one. Until recently, my pain was relatively well controlled if I didn't do much other than resting. I do have Vicodin and Skelaxin to take for bre...
  6. work while on narcotics?

    Thanks for all the concern and well wishes. I haven't gone back to work, as my pain is not controlled even with medications. Last time I wrote I was taking Kadian (a kind of long-acting morphine), and experiencing many unpleasant side effects. The...
  7. 41$ an hour at Lehigh Valley for 1 yr exp. weekend?

    what is the regular rate for nurses ...like without any rotation..say with 20 years experience?
  8. Impaired Nurses

    I can appreciate the thought here, however some states don't completely bar narcotics use in their NPA. Then what happens (at least when it is worker's compensation and the insurance companies are completely in charge) is that the doctors clear you ...
  9. Impaired Nurses

    I do think that it is interesting that our state BON and ANA have policies and assistance for impaired nurses who have addictions, while in my case they have nothing. I require medicaton to treat my pain from a back injury suffered at work. My doct...
  10. FIRED and REPORTED to the BON

    must first confess that i didn't read every page..just first and page 6, so i apologize if i missed important stuff if you are an "at will state" they can fire you whenever they want. but it does sound like overkill to report to the bon i know someon...
  11. What's more stressful, L&D or Med-Surg?

    Land D can be extremely stressful, its not really "a day at the beach". I worked med surg for five years before changing to labor. While on med surg, I only ever had 3 surgical emergencies...which required patient transfer to the OR, plus some codes...
  12. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    Actually, she was perfectly qualified for her scholarship because it was written at the time as for "spanish surname" which she did have as her name was Rodrigues. I'm not taking "one incident" because there are many as I said. I feel that giving ...
  13. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    My point was that "minority" scholarships and affirmative actions programs are supposedly established to promote diversity and provide opportunities for the disadvantaged. The fact that my friend who was NOT hispanic could qualify for that scholarsh...
  14. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    I agree absolutely that NO ONE should be discriminated against. I grew up with people around me of all colors--red, brown,yellow, black and WHITE and I think we should treat everyone with fairness and dignity. That being said, and I must admit that...
  15. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    While I don't practice in a LTC area, this issue has come up often in our area..Maternity. Some of my coworkers have refused to even care for these famiilies. I chose to care for anyone without discrimination to the best of my ability, regardless o...
