  1. Speaking as a manager and seeing this happen to family members applying for positions. The "no call back" from employers and disconnect between HR and managers for open positions is all too common. Many hospital employers have outsourced recruiting. ...
  2. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    This is quite the 'all about me' pity party isn't it? Absolutely fascinating that you dare call yourself a leader. You and your attitude are why nurses are leaving the profession. Not only are they dealing with increasing loads of sicker patients but...
  3. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    Reading through most pages of this post (I skipped a few), one area is not clear to me. Does the other area not have a shift charge nurse and reasonably competent staff? If so, they should only need you to check in a few times a shift as they are fam...
  4. What would you do?

    Do you know if references are collected by phone or by an anonymous survey with questions to mark and a box to complete if desired for "additional information"? In some states, if references are false the candidate can sue for slander. Many com...
  5. Interpreting New Director Behavior/Personality

    I have managed to stick out a horrid director in my lifetime. However, she was a temporary manager and I was hoping that she would not be the permanent one. Completely different personality than our former director. At some point she refused to be th...
  6. I am a bit confused. You were terminated because of ONE medication error and a negative drug screen? I think you said you took a drug test but did not see the results. BON will typically not care if you were terminated for 'diversion' with the lack ...
  7. Told to fake vital signs

    Dear caring CNA who is going to be a wonderful nurse, document your request for common equipment in writing to the DON. Staff should not have to count on 'sharing' personal equipment. In that email (preferred for a paper trail), if staff are expected...
  8. BSN with recent dui denied to sit for the nclex California

    California is not a compact state. Since the DUI is recent, you might need to talk to a lawyer. It will be worth the expense but make sure you are talking to a lawyer with experience for CA BRN issues. . . not just a lawyer that specialized in DUI. T...
  9. My Mom passed away. Did I do the right thing?

    You are an amazing daughter who provided care that was above and beyond. Sadly, our moms don't live forever except in our hearts. Please reach out to talk to someone. Surprisingly even our funeral homes here have resources for grief counseling. Even ...
  10. Confused

    There are a variety of preceptors out there. Some are nurturing and caring and others will do as little as possible for their preceptee. Having a preceptee can slow 'their' routine down. . . the preceptor has to be a role model for performance AND te...
  11. Confused

    Do NOT leave it off your job experience or work history. All employers do background checks and this will show up. In some states, this is enough to terminate you or fail to hire you because you falsified your application. Depending on the laws in y...
  12. lying about clinical hours

    Many posters seem to think this person will fail boards. What if he is a great test taker and passes? Review courses can be fabulous in helping students at all levels pass required boards. These clinical situations will not be tested. No one knows if...
  13. Wondering if I am eligible to get into the nursing program

    IF you were truly never charged or you were a juvenile and are able to seal your records, this does NOT need to be disclosed in applications or entrance issues. Once the record is sealed, the charge never existed. If you were truly never charged, the...
  14. Wondering if I am eligible to get into the nursing program

    Yes, retain a lawyer or look for lower cost legal aid (perhaps with paralegals?) that can do the necessary research to see if you truly have a record of any type. If you were a minor (under 18) there is a process in California to seal the legal reco...
  15. Lost stethoscopes

    I agree with the neon colored tubing. Once I bought a bright neon pink stethoscope, I never had an issue. Even the doctors wouldn't borrow it! Bright yellow, green or whatever really did the trick. Engraving is impossible to see from far away and whe...
