1. California whistleblower law? Safe harbor?

   cincin1 posted a topic in Safety

   Does anyone know where I can find detailed information about these laws in California if they exist? I found info on ratios but not much on the nurse protection from employers who violate them. What would a nurse do if she were given an unsafe assig...

2. Texas state history class pre-req

   cincin1 replied to cincin1's topic in Texas (UTA)

   Ok. It's not the class that's the problem...its the money that I'm trying to save. I am already clepping out of one class. I guess I'm going to learn everything I didn't want to know about Texas government.

3. Texas state history class pre-req

   cincin1 posted a topic in Texas (UTA)

   Is there a way to get out of taking this class? I am from out of state and it seems crazy to take a class that doesn't really apply to where you live or will practice after graduation...

4. Fought the good fight...

   cincin1 posted a topic in General Nursing

   After over two years of searching, I am giving up searching for a decent nursing job. I cannot feel guilty about it. I've interned, volunteered, sent out a thousand apps. I was a great student. I've done my extra certifications, saw a career counsel...

   cincin1 replied to cincin1's topic in California

   I am so sorry I neglected all your messages. I have been quite busy and never get on allnurses. The interview process at NSH is very simple; and questions related to how you would respond to people with mental health problems. They are very common...

10. Anyone experience "cold threats" from clients at your facility?

    cincin1 posted a topic in Forensic

    I like to be prepared. I didn't ever stop to think this would happen to mental health workers before my training, but evidently it is not rare... I am also looking for good tips for keeping a low profile at work and decreasing the risk of patients g...

    Well, I am answering myself here (I was hired!) so if anyone ever needs to know the process just msg me...I can tell you most of my experience except for interview questions/answers because this is against policy.

12. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    cincin1 replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm 45 and just got my first nursing job as a forensic nurse. It is what I dreamed of in my 20s. Never too late. Shoot, at your age you could probably switch careers two more times and be okay.Just my opinion; but only you know what is right for you.

13. How likely is to sue nurses?

    Well, I just read a book concerning surgeons, who also are targets for lawsuits. And quite simply, lawyers will usually only take on cases that are quite certain to make them a lot of money. This unfortunately means that many people harmed that can a...

14. How to present a bad (first) work experience to a potential employer?

    cincin1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is gonna sound crazy. I worked at a LTC, as a first nursing job, for about a month. The reason why I resigned is because of a family emergency, which was valid and I can prove. I was out for one week (some of which I was scheduled off), and i...

15. Why do nurses eat their young?

    cincin1 replied to mindyt289's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hahahaha, I just got corrected for making my initials to big in the MAR. Can you believe that??? It's comical! "STAY WITHIN THE LINES!?" Seriously, I wanted to fall on the ground laughing at that one. Yes, we are the door matts of the institution. Un...
