  1. I Should Be in Jail

    If you can find out who the prosecuting lawyer is, probably sometime from the DA office, you can go to them and tell them what you saw. If your words will help their case you'll go to court.
  2. Feeling forced to be the house supervisor

    Make very sure you do this before taking report
  3. I've worked L&D and if you like to be in control it might not be the area for
  4. ROTC or OCS? (USAGPAN)

    You're welcome! I think it all depends on where you are and how hard it is to get nurses to work ICU. It might be easier in a small hospital than a big one. Personally I wouldn't recommend it as I...
  5. ROTC or OCS? (USAGPAN)

    Here's 2020, they have the grade and time in service opposite but there's a $100 increase/month. Your grade is your rank in numerical terms: O-1 is 2nd LT O-2 is 1st LT O-3 is Captain...
  6. ROTC or OCS? (USAGPAN)

    Here's the link for the current pay, well, 2019, FY 2020 started in October. So your pay as an O-1 with less than 2 (years) would be $3188/ month. This usually increases every year but it's not...
  7. ROTC or OCS? (USAGPAN)

    Hi, I had to look this up but it interested me as I'm former active duty AF and former civil service for the Army. So, to even apply you need one year ICU experience. It looks like if accepted, you...
  8. Night shift and healthy eating

    I lost 18 pounds once after going to nights and having another trauma happen in my life. I had NO idea I'd lost that much till I pulled on a pair of jeans and realized they were too big, though I did...
  9. My Life as a Nurse

    I started in a level 2 NICU in 82 also, and did intermittently until 2013.
  10. nurse reviewer vs. school nurse

    As well as reading school nursing posts here, there's a FB page called...School Nursing that I think could be helpful. You can vent, ask for advice, see what other MS nurses do about this problem....
  11. Advice on jobs/WWYD?

    You can quit most jobs at any time, even before you've officially started working. I would keep trying for the second job, and use the excuse other people have stated if you get it. If you actually...
  12. Live in lpn

    Will they pay for 24 hour care from a nurse who doesn't live in? Why not do
  13. How to Bring Holiday Cheer to the Bedside

    It’s understandable that you’ll find yourself busy per the usual, but finding an extra 30 minutes or so per patient will mean the world to them! This sounds like someone who doesn't...
  14. No One Understands

    People who've never worked nightshift will never understand what it's like. Never. So either learn to live with it or do what you want to do and let the chips (and litter boxes) fall where they may....
  15. Peer Eval

    And this is why peer evaluations are stupid. What other profession (outside healthcare) evaluates they're peers and then that information is used for evaluations, counseling
  16. Management-initiated fraud?

    Does the glucometer have records of BS's that far back? That might
  17. Relocating

    I would start looking at available jobs now and realize you might have to take whatever you can get. Lots of people want to go to CO and several years ago it was hard to get a nursing job. Maybe...
  18. Yeah, 48 hours/week plus OT doesn't seem ideal to me either and I'm not a single parent. Gee, I wonder why so many people have
  19. 16 hour shifts how many days a week to be considered full-time? Is that everywhere with this company or just at that particular facility? That's a looong
  20. New job and asking for time off

    I've never had an employer ask about prior commitments during an interview, but I feel a brother's wedding and clinical for your Master's are "big" enough things that you should be able to get them....
  21. 12-Hour Shift | Life of a Nurse

    And this is why bedside reports should be
  22. I just spoke to Google "compare cost of living Tampa FL to Sacramento CA". They had other parameters too, utilities
  23. Just how many CEUs do you need? Are you looking to travel and get credits or just get credits quickly? I got all mine for FL in less than two
  24. PTO not in the budget for remainder of year

    I'd be talking to HR about that
  25. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    You spelled the right
