  4. Learn from my STUPID mistake

    My Stand Back story was a bad idea of unspiking a blood bag, and the crime scenc of splatter all the way up the family, wall and ceiling. You look good in red, was the only thing to come out of my mouth, and then I AM SORRY. Very forgiving family.
  5. Just landed my first interview for a nurse manager...HELP

  8. The Mockery of Nursing

    Seems likes just asking about gtts is not enough information, the clinical criteria includes gtts but also other interventions such as those with neurochecks beyond what can be done with 1:4 ratios and require 1:2 or 1:1. Reimbursement is one perspec...
  10. Scared and need advice

  14. Nurse on vacation

    pre approved time off is yours 100%, and though the job may lack boundaries in calling people, you are in control of not answering the phone or returning the message. Sometimes the desperate calling person, is not the same person as the one who knows...
  15. have you been hired on the spot?

    Just because they are treating this more casual, does not mean you need to accept it, or stop you from asking the right questions (job description, pay, hours, ect). seems like they had your information for three months, so ask, what was the process ...
