1. Who do you report to?

   livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational

   Thanks for the responses. Who I report to has changed recently. It was more because I could not get any direction from my former boss unless he was randomly trying to micro-manage me. While health and safety co-exist, we have different functions. No...

2. Who do you report to?

   livingonadream posted a topic in Occupational

   I am looking for input and your experience on how you report to particularly if you work in a factory/company setting. Are you part of safety, human resources, corporate? Is your superior someone that has medical experience? I am currently told to re...

3. What companies policies do you have for work comp?

   livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational

   For clarification: It's not necessarily related to work compensation insurance itself not state/federal laws, nor OSHS. I am looking for company policy examples. For example, right now we have a policy in place that says Employees must report injuri...

4. What companies policies do you have for work comp?

   livingonadream posted a topic in Occupational

   I recently started at a company and I am perplexed by the stuff employees get away with. I'm sure there is similar stuff everywhere but it's out of control where I work. There are little to no policies in place. People report injuries whenever they ...

   Ah what stress that was! Got the job. Interviewing and negotiations are sooo stressful!

8. Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

   livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Professionalism

   Thanks everyone for your responses! I truly appreciate them. The interview and negotiation process was something very stressful and unique. I eventually did get the salary I was negotiating for and that was after mentioning a lot of the same things...

9. Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

   livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Professionalism

   I agree! I also was dealing with the idea of "anticipated overtime during busy season" and wasn't comfortable with it at the original salary they proposed. I talked with several people through 4 interviews and eventually it was my soon to be boss th...

10. Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Professionalism

    I agree. I posted vaguely and tried to summarize what the general situation was. I need to make a point to them that it wasn't going to be less responsibility. I honestly think every nurse, no matter what position, has responsibility.

11. Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Professionalism

    Sorry, I agree, I posted vaguely. After re-reading my post, I think that I was intending to say that I felt my responsibilities would not be less but of a different area of responsibility. They made the statement that they thought my responsibilitie...

    I am currently in the negotiation process of a job offer. Of note, my experience as a nurse is mostly critical care experience of 5 years and also school nursing. The job I am being offered is for a Occupational Health Nurse position for a large comp...

13. Any advice on IV insertion skills?

    livingonadream replied to Emma_H's topic in General Nursing

    What is happening when you are starting IVs? I was a phlebotomist prior to nursing and good at IV starts. The problem I see a lot is that some nurses can't feel the veins, they expect to see them.

14. 2nd interview

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational

    Thanks for your response. The second interview was a long interview. I actually interviewed and then toured the plant. The company seemed receptive and enthusiastic. That interview was followed by a phone interview with an HR Talent Acquisition Mana...

15. 2nd interview

    livingonadream posted a topic in Occupational

    I applied for a position at a factory and got called for a second interview. The first interview was at a company wide job fair and was very casual. The safety manager that interviewed me mentioned that he would like to have me meet with other person...
