    Employers' Background Investigation (i.e. social media)

    It was so long ago, I don’t remember specifically. I’m thinking it was a video of the nurse saying something that was thought to be racist by a patient that saw it and made a nasty reply to it on facebook about not wanting that nurse to take care of ...

    Employers' Background Investigation (i.e. social media)

    I closed my facebook account for quite a few years, and reopened it with only immediate family for years due to work. I know of at least 1 RN who was fired over a facebook post, at a facility that I worked at.

    So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    I’m very grateful that I retired 2-1/2+ years ago and missed all the Covid horrors. I really enjoyed my job for many years, despite the stress; but it got much more difficult the last 10 years or so, the job satisfaction gone. It was a good career ov...

    Advice please

    Going into management at your former employment sounds like jumping from the frying pan to the fire. Management is typically the most overworked and least appreciated, especially middle management. As a manager would you really get an hourly pay, or ...

    What does your username mean?

    I had 2 Galapagos tortoises for a number of years. They looked like big round rocks moving around the back yard. So I became Walkingrock! ?
  10. That’s awesome! I agree that sleep problems are a big issue with fibromyalgia. I’ve been diagnosed since 90’s and definitely had it before that. I’ve been going to a specialist in LA for the last 5 years. I just got an adjustable bed, and haven’t sle...

    I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    I’m guessing your facility is owned by physicians? That particularly increases some of the issues you speak of. You may be more comfortable in a hospital that is not physician owned. Another suggestion, maybe you could get your mojo back by transferi...

    The End of An Era

    I’m retiring after nearly 40 years, in 2.5 weeks. I’m ready. It’s earlier than I had planned, but it is all good. Lots of changes during that time, barely resembles the same job. I’ll keep my license active for another 5 years or so most likely, it i...

    Which specialty to choose?

    OR Not a lot of interaction with the patient or their family, routine, work with smaller group of same people. Surgery is interesting.
