   Abandonment? What exactly is it?

   ppfd posted a topic in Career Support

   Seems like abandonment is the new catch phrase being passed around to scare nurses into working more than they are scheduled for. What exactly is it? I work in a correctional/prison setting for most likely the largest outfit contracting suc...

   ppfd replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

   I respect the hell out of the LPNs I work with and ask them a million questions a shift. 1. they have been where we work longer than me. 2. They are not stupid. But yeah, nobodies telling I can't call a doc. This sounds like something my si...

   Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

   ppfd replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

   LOL I "might" know some ED nurses that "might" share this information and more on a daily basis. I've been in some big and busy ED's and "maybe" everybody talks about "everything".

   Quitting without notice?

   ppfd replied to Ovarychiever's topic in General Nursing

   Place I work now, is small and 2 people have quit, one by facebook messeger and the other over the phone, no notice. Both had new jobs. Doesn't effect me either way, I go to work and go home. Seems the way adults do things now though. Las...

   How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

   ppfd replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in COVID

   Probably an unpopular opinion but, firing “heroes” for not taking the ‘vid shot or forcing it on employees is not going to fair will for retention. And I agree, let that guy making 7 figures work it out. I go to work, do my work and go home.

    Correctional Nursing

    ppfd replied to sirI's topic in Correctional

    I've worked in a women's prison for close to a year now. Easiest nursing job I've had. LPN's handle the meds, I assist as needed. Work a week on and a week off. Money is good as well. Inmates are a non issue, respectful, friendly. Just have to ...

    Correctional Nursing

    ppfd replied to sirI's topic in Correctional

    Started working in my states only women's prison. To go from working one of the states busiest ED's to the prison was a huge shift. As an RN, I do almost nothing. LPN's pass meds, techs handle most everything else. I scan papers and put in "sic...
