1. Do you see yourself retiring from nursing, or will you change professions?

   zichau replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   The 'golden hand cuffs' require that I remain with my employer until the end. Love the work I do as a Hospice RN in the field, am blessed to have a great work schedule and my personal life is great. And I'm not so sure Social Security will...

2. Time to call a duck a duck?

3. Cultual Awareness Interview

   zichau replied to Traycd's topic in General Nursing

   My dear, I'm afraid you will have to do your own assignment. Nursing is all about creative problem solving and using your brain. As nursing program assignments go, this one doesn't sound too hard.

4. Nurses do you love or hate your job?

   zichau replied to angelcarmichael's topic in General Nursing

   LOVE the work. Hate the beauracracy and ALL that dead wood at the top who are clueless about the intensity of the work we do.

5. The type of nurse I DO want to be...

   zichau replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

   I want all of the above AND I want my manager and employer to support me with all that I want.

6. Detail oriented, sort of

   zichau replied to Landlockedinmo's topic in General Nursing

   Is there any RN out there who can manage her/his workload and documentation AND take lunch and breaks. Doubtful.

   zichau replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Geriatric

   In California it is illegal as in against the law to hide meds in food.

8. Asked to job shadow on the day of interview

   zichau replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

   Are you offered any compensation for 5 hours of shadowing? Working in Northern California for a unionized large nonprofit, there is no requirement to shadow for 5 hours. We call that orientation and are paid.
