1. Lottery for holiday shift?

   twoangels replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you everyone- I'm still trying to figure out what I could say to encourage a policy about this. She tends to be very defensive and takes offense to suggestions. However- this is very sloppy to let these kinds of things go to the last minute a...

2. Lottery for holiday shift?

   twoangels posted a topic in General Nursing

   So, it's 1 week before a holiday and our manager announces today that if she doesn't have the volunteers she needs for the holiday shift we will just have to draw names to decide who works it. What do you say to a manager that a) doesn't bother posti...

3. Clinical Supervision of Medical Assistants

   twoangels replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

   That makes sense to me. It's been an issue where the MAs will give medication IMs without aspirating and the RNs find it difficult to exert improvement in this area since the MAs are supervised by another MA who doesn't understand the importance of ...

4. Clinical Supervision of Medical Assistants

   twoangels replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

   I understand that part of it- the physicians have decided what the MAs can and can't do there. I'm talking more about how the RNs could be better utilized in a supervisory role and a quality control role in our situation- and I wonder if others have...

   twoangels replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

   I was a new grad, and after 3 months I left my dream job due to health issues I am certain were caused by working night shift. I too, suffer from depression and anxiety and I had some of the worst panic attacks I've ever experienced while on night s...

8. Question after an interview

   twoangels replied to lion09's topic in General Nursing

   I chose to send an email to each person on my interview panel and thank them for their time and to reiterate my interest in working with them. I chose to email because I reasoned that sometimes these decisions are made quite quickly and I wanted to ...

9. New nurse needs objective advice

   twoangels replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, I would like to leave as gracefully as possible, thank them for everything and express that this is something that I don't WANT to do, but it is something that I feel I NEED to do for my sake, and this baby's sake.

10. New nurse needs objective advice

    twoangels replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

    Going in to this, I expected nights to be what would would work for my family the best. I have classmates who were hired at the same hospital for days, but on various med-surg units. The birthing center is a different story because of the low turno...

15. Job Offer- My choice of unit- HELP!!

    twoangels replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Jane85- I am processing that thought right now. As anxious as I am to go to L&D, you're so right- the opportunity to learn so much in ICU would be something that will only add to who I can be as a nurse in the long run. And a year or ...
