2. Need ideas for a new career when nursing career is over

   nana2003 replied to nana2003's topic in Career Support

   I would love to do phone triage...that would be great for me. But not many opportunities in this area (southeastern Wisconsin) for an associate degree. I have actually done a few things in the last 30 years but mostly long term care and rehab. For...

4. Terminated? Do I get paid for unused paid time off?

   nana2003 replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

   Around here, 6 weeks is the usual time off for maternity leave. If your 6 weeks were up in January and you told them you were not ready to come back it sounds to me like you may have quit, or extended your leave. But that would usually involve some...

   nana2003 replied to nana2003's topic in Home Health

   After talking with the 2 different nurses that orientated me and the parents of the baby......I get the impression that the DON is laking in people skills. Even the family said that! I really like the family, the baby and the other nurses. I woul...

   I can understand your concerns regarding my pediatric experience. I had a lot of apprehension myself. But I have to admit I have told everyone that that has any connection to this job that I do not have any pediatric experience, including the family...

   Thank you so much. I was really starting to think there was something wrong with me! I kept thinking about her telling me that I needed to make a sacrifice, and I think they should be making a sacrifice and pay the overtime or change a schedule a l...

    nana2003 replied to nana2003's topic in General Nursing

    You are right we do have expense reports we fill out periodically for reimbursement for mileage, certain meals, and parking when we go to seminars and homevisits. Next time I will suggest she put it on her expense report, with the required receipt....

    Oh how I wish I could do that! But unfortunately that is not an option. The first caller is the head of the disaster response commitee or someone she appointments. What I would really like to do is not to have to call her, or have her call me. We...

    nana2003 replied to nana2003's topic in General Nursing

    You are 100% accurate..............she does not like change. I seem to be the one that she dumps on, she is sweet as pie to the others, they never see that side of her. But we are so closely associated because we are the only nurses that work in th...

15. Looking for advice for dealing with co-worker

    nana2003 replied to nana2003's topic in General Nursing

    You actually did nail her attitude. And usually I would just nod and get out asap. She always acts as if she wants your advice, but when you give it, she doesn't like it. I try to limit my contact with her as much as possible. But when I have to ...
