  1. Ghosted post offer

    I don't consider these places good places to work. If they have shady, unresponsive human resources departments (that the facility allows) what else is the place like. My experience is they are cold, indifferent places to work.
  2. LPN to RN new grad denied for multiple positions

    Maybe it's your location. Some areas graduates have jobs before they graduate.
  3. Need Your Opinion About Medical Emergency

    I would brush it off, because someone has to take charge over the code. If it is a medical emergency, people have to move out of the way, get the equipment without thought to their own feelings. I simply would not care what the LPN said, the child ne...
  4. Did you sign a contract? If so how many years? Besides the baked in contract of having the BSN paid for, you have to sign a contract. Is this correct?
  5. It must be very distressing to hear that. It's wrong all the way around. You have every right to let your employer know that this is not acceptable. He smokes MJ and abuses animals. Imagine what this guy would do to children. I would make a police re...
  6. 2 Weeks Notice?

    You're entitled to your PTO. Call in, only the amount where you don't need a doctors note if that matters, whatever your policy is, get your paid time off. It's their responsibility to get the shift covered especially if you have been treated so po...
  7. Is This Common in LTC?

    A lot of the doctors in LTC probably 100+ patients and are affiliated with many different facilities. They aren't even involved with the patient and haven't seen the patient in months.
  8. APS reporting and then termination

    Somebody should have addressed the wound. Whichever nurse was assigned for wound care. It sounds like a practice issue and not an abuse issue.
  9. Guns at the Bedside

    In Texas I've seen in home health, guns just laying on the table when you go to a patients house. But in hospitals or any health facility that I'm aware of, there is a very clear sign outside the door that prohibits carrying a gun inside a facility.
  10. APS reporting and then termination

    This doesn't sound like the appropriate action to take, to take this patient to the nurse station, and undress a wound. Maybe the administrator or DON was unhappy because you didn't follow the chain of command, file an incident report, etc? Not sure ...
  11. About To Give Up

    Not only test taking, but meet with your instructors and identify why your thinking isn't aligning with the right answers on the tests.
  12. Advice Please! Skilled Nursing to Assisted Living

    Sounds like an unstable work environment. They are stable patients, but when 1 fall turns into 2, and 2 wounds to 3, a patient turns into a hospice patient, the work adds up. You still have to admit, call MDs, ensure code status and send via 911.
  13. About To Give Up

    Identify where you are going wrong. I would fix that first before attempting again.
  14. Navigating the world of Restricted License

    Have you tried dialysis, psych, LTAC, agency or home health? Either that or personal physicians office.
  15. Arguing Over a Patient Assignment

    You HAVE to know this is wrong. You are a nurse and they don't teach this in your nursing curriculum. You selected everything but this statement on nursing exams I'm sure just so you could 'pass'. Besides, you're being paid to work at a facility, so ...
