1. 2 Weeks Notice?

   exit96 replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

   I tend to agree. I've been at this awhile myself, and the world has changed a lot. Good to be a Nurse, and the current demand has made at least that part of the scene advantageous for Nurses. What I don't like is that I have to scheme on how to get m...

4. Assignment, over stressed floor

   exit96 posted a topic in Geriatric

   I work in LTC, on the rehab/covid unit. We've been getting over loaded, is how I would say it. Recently the floor had 19 skilled residents, and 4 LTC residents. 1 Nurse, 2 aides. You all know the charting responsibilities this demands, on top of the ...

5. Unions - Yay or Nay?

   exit96 replied to Kiwi82's topic in Union

   I've been part of bigger, strong Unions, and these I would support 100%. Currently I was in a small, amalgamated union, which is basically worthless. I am currently wondering how to expose the corruption I see. The Union rep is besties with the DON, ...

   I did a search to see if this topic is on here, didn’t find it. If you know of a link so we don’t recreate the wheel please feel free to direct me. 1- My inquiry: my facility offers a bonus for SOME shifts when they are in dire need of coverage. $...

8. Dialysis Nursing in a nutshell

   exit96 replied to perksrn's topic in Urology

   I think you are reading way too much into what I'm saying. A "team" first and foremost? Absolutely! But let's not mix licensure and roles, it's best for the patients. As far as the machines, it shouldn't take 12 weeks of 4 shifts per week. It needs ...

   exit96 replied to JJohnson's topic in Urology

   Accurate observations, I agree. One other, BIG Item...the insurance sucks bad. United Health Care, Express Scripts, Accredo, hell you don’t even know how to get something accomplished. United Health Care doesn’t want to pay anything. $6500 out of p...

13. Concerned

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I’m in month 8 of a new position, it’s in a dialysis unit, but this isn’t specific to dialysis. Last week a new, or newly reinforced policy for the techs to weigh the patients on the way out was reinforced. Seems like an easy enough task to complete ...

14. Sexism in nursing

    exit96 replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men

    I understand the physical differences, but I don't think that is a good excuse. I was a tech before a nurse, and I don't have a problem helping. But I have experienced, numerous times, at different facilities, men being the first call for lifting peo...

    Sorry if I sound angry, I think sick of the gender bias would be more accurate.
