1. Sleeping In Vehicle Between Shifts

   jetsy62 replied to NGRN89's topic in General Nursing

   If a hotel is guaranteed to have that room rented, they will make allowances on check in/check out, rate, amenities. Ask. The guarantee that the room will be occupied on these days for this many months is a big incentive.

2. Too strong of a personality?

   jetsy62 replied to NICU_rn_bsn's topic in General Nursing

   Next time somebody makes that statement, ask them what they are referring to. The question itself may be viewed as being a "strong personality" but honestly, how are you to determine if something needs fixed and then how to fix it if no one will giv...

3. Please advice me

   jetsy62 replied to Sam84's topic in General Nursing

   I would look for a refresher course, take NCLEX, pass and be on your way in your career as an RN in the United States.

4. Asked to Write a Formal Explanation

   jetsy62 replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

   Short simple. I was on my break. I chose to nap during my break. I woke up and successfully worked the remainder of my shift.

5. Scab nursing?

   jetsy62 replied to Emergent's topic in Union

   Never been a participant in a strike but have seen some at another hospital in our area. Some of the nurses crossed the picket line. They also brought in agency nurses. In the end, there were concessions on both sides, no OMG concessions on either...

6. Why do RNs choose to work in nursing homes?

   Make more money per hour, 30 hours a week is considered full-time and am entitled to full-time benefits, can choose to work 8, 10 or 12 hour shifts. If I choose to pick up an extra shift other than what I am scheduled, I get an extra $15 per hour fo...

7. Immunizations for uninsured

   jetsy62 replied to seericap's topic in General Students

   26 is the age. Something is not right. Now, they could have some kind of company regulation that requires your mother to pay for dependent coverage at age 21. She needs to look into the company policy for you.

8. Failing a nursing class

   jetsy62 replied to nursingstudent_2019's topic in NP Students

   It happens. I know someone who failed a nursing class, went on to graduate with associates, bachelors, worked for 2.5 years, applied to four NP schools, was accepted at 3 (Duquesne, Simmons, Drexel, was not accepted at Georgetown) and will start thi...

9. Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

   jetsy62 replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I wonder if somewhere in the employment papers it states orientation is 40 hours per week.

10. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    jetsy62 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    Maybe you need to type up a list of duties for an NP and pass it around. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe some of them at least really don't understand the role of NP.

11. Terminated in probation - no reason given

    jetsy62 replied to Anon101's topic in General Nursing

    The passed performance evaluation should help you in your unemployment case. If they oppose it, when you have your hearing that may get you the information you are after regarding why you were terminated.

12. What might be going on?

    jetsy62 replied to Bagatha's topic in Professionalism

    They are setting things up to give you the choice of being fired or resigning your position. If you believe this to be true, I would immediately write a very nice letter to anyone that was part of the meeting and state that you felt threatened by th...

13. Student Loan Help

    jetsy62 replied to Emilylou's topic in General Students

    $29,000 is not bad.

14. Marijuana

    jetsy62 replied to JadaM96's topic in Recovery

    Never refuse a pre-employment drug test. Respectfully decline the job offer. And just stop with the marijuana. Between pre-employment, random, just cause, the ramifications if caught are just not worth it.

    jetsy62 replied to Adri1992's topic in General Nursing

    Having no experience in L&D, the questions you asked were spot on! Good luck.
