  1. Hey guys: Get on this. If you want union representation, which I needed today, and it was very discreetly, and I rightly had my rights returned to me. I know everyone does not agree with joining a Union, and I have heard others have had some not...
  2. I am older, and would rather not say BUT...

    Good new!! Met with HR, my union rep and DON. Got what I wanted. Will get the teaching on the things I didn't get, and new preceptorship. I think some of the offenders will be talked to since the issue was raised with HR. The nurse is one I real...
  3. Hi: Read your post and sorry say that I can't anything to your question. However, I am hoping other people see this post and can share any information they may have. I have had gradual hearing loss, probably due to age, but as I understand, it doe...
  4. I am older, and would rather not say BUT...

    Thank you all for your encouragement and replies. I couldn't figure out what to say about why I left. But saying it wasn't a good fit sounds good. Thank you for that insight. This is a Tenet hospital and is being forced by the Federal Government t...
  5. it can happen as it did to me when I couldn't get my clinical instructor to pass me on my clinicals. (98& in classroom). She was an aged woman, hard on the eyes saying "you can't keep up with these young nurses, it's a dog-eat-dog world in nurs...
  6. All nurses into supervisors ?

    I plan to attend one of the rallies. But what rights do I have as a per diem at will employee? Even though I belong to the union?
  7. Conscious sedation and consent

    I have been treated for "watermelon stomach" for over a year with periodic cauterizations of my stomach until the bleeding was under control. Hg went from 6 to 14.1. However, 3 months after the next procedure (endoscopy) I was completely conscious...
  8. If so, you know about the impending sale of the hospital. I am a per diem employee and find that I am only a "at will worker." And as you know we are unionized. We do have these meetings that try to update us on the sale of the hospital, and it w...
  9. Thanks to all of you that chose to care and reply to my post.I feel so much better. I am per diem so I am going to only chose to work 2 days this week and take care of myself. They did get me in a position where I couldn't help crying, but the next...
  10. How do you deal with lazy nurses??

    What is panadol? Does it help you deal with trying to attend to your patients, doctors, administration and the CNAs telling you to do their work and then report you? This teamwork stinks. It is curious most of the time they are not around, going ...
  11. Dear Snowfreeze: Thanks for your reply. It is happening to me after two months for reasons unk nown to me. I am not a young chickadee but I just don't get it. I don't understand hostility, especially from the Filipina nurses. There are some that ...
  12. Nurses dating Doctors??

    So the complaint is inappropriate behavior between nurses and doctors on the job? I haven't seen any of this, and I agree it should not be allowed, but what is wrong with dating outside the hospital as long as the parties involved keep it out of the...
  13. suspended license

    Update from ZZTOP RN: After all the hassle with the BON that suspended my license I found out that I could appeal to the state I was now living in. It took 3 months of documents to my home state and having review my case reviewed for approval. Of ...
  14. Bad reaction to TB test

    I had BCG vaccine as a teen. My father was positive for TB. As an adult, I had a very large induration. In the 80's I had another skin test. Mind you, I was working as an RN in a large hospital. Since last year I have had about 4 or 5 Mantouxs, ...
