1. Would you work a shift as an aide?

   AF_BOUND replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

   so I chesked with my manager and director. Turns out there is a policy on floating and I was spot on. If a nurse wants to work as a tech all is good, but if they do not they do not have to. The step down was way wrong in trying to assign me as a ...

   So I work pool at a hospital. I worked 8 hrs in the SICU and was floated to a stepdown unit and as I entered the floor the charge nurse told me that she assigned me as a tech. I told her that would not be acceptable. I was hired as a nurse and tha...

   AF_BOUND replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

7. Can you work as a CNA/NA/LPN as licensed RN?

   AF_BOUND replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   I work as a pool nurse and every so often they attempt to assign me as an aide which I refuse. I was hired as a nurse and my job description says nothing regarding working as an aide, plus I understand that no matter the assignment I would be held a...

8. COT and running

   AF_BOUND replied to shayT!'s topic in Government

   It is difficult to stay motivated to run when COT is a little under 5 months away. I could not even run a mile a year ago when I began the application process and three months later I was really in a groove and could exceed the PT standards. Now I...
