  1. Is it appropriate to email the hiring manager your cover letter and resume?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Spinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would leave it at that. Good luck and I hope you hear

  2. Interpreting New Director Behavior/Personality

    HiddencatBSN replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. “Team player” is code for martyrs who don’t complain. Her behavior alone would be a dealbreaker for me, as would losing shift diff and holiday pay but still having to work holidays....

  3. How many jobs have you had in your career?

    HiddencatBSN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I forgot to say why I left LOL. First job I’d just moved and the commute was longer than I anticipated. Second job because I missed peds and decided the commute was worth it. Third job because I...

  4. How many jobs have you had in your career?

    HiddencatBSN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I have 10 years of experience and have worked 6 FT jobs plus a few months with a company that did corporate and industrial flu shot clinics, a brief and awful travel job, and a semester and a half...

  5. Non Clinical Positions For New Grads

    HiddencatBSN replied to Prosper2018's topic in General Nursing

    A ton of us here have graduated from accelerated nursing programs so I’m not sure why you think we all hate them. If by bedside you mean inpatient care, there are lots of other options. The...

  6. Nurses on Match.Com

    HiddencatBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I agree to transition to phone or in person quickly- I had some long term texting situations and when we met up in person there simply wasn’t the same Chemistry that there was by text. My COVID...

  7. Vocera! Can you talk to...?

    HiddencatBSN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    My current and last job use vocera. It can be super annoying when vocera repeatedly misunderstands what you’re trying to say but overall it makes things much easier. Especially when we have boarders...

  8. Nurses on Match.Com

    HiddencatBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You can talk to people you match with before meeting for an in person date. Matching isn’t a binding contract to go out with

  9. Nurses on Match.Com

    HiddencatBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth would it matter that you're on a dating website? Seriously. What professional implications are you envisioning? Someone sees that you're on a dating site and....they know that you're on a...

  10. Nurses on Match.Com

    HiddencatBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, dating as a nurse is definitely unprofessional. Plus it signals to the employer that you’ll be quitting soon because we all know it’s inappropriate for married women to remain in the

  11. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Who you are attracted to and how you see yourself aren’t the same thing. This isn’t even a logical

  12. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    The treatment for gender dysphoria is transitioning and

  13. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    No, denying trans people living their gender is what is harmful. Using a different pronoun than you expect or a different name isn’t. It’s incredibly paternalistic to impose your gender...

  14. Is it wise to work from home?

    HiddencatBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn’t make sense for a staff nurse. If you had a job that could be done virtually or a role that requires 24/7 responsibility it might make sense but charting time is time that should be

  15. Preparation for pediatric nursing certification?

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursing9462's topic in General Nursing

    It was a 2 day class when I took it and I did some minimal review before taking the exam. I’d been a peds nurse for 4 years by then so most of it was just refreshing the less common things....

  16. What's next? Do I quit?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Lyly2021's topic in General Nursing

    This. I started a pt job and was told they’d be able to work around my ft schedule. They kept scheduling me for days I was working at my other job and were not willing to adjust my schedule because...

  17. Preparation for pediatric nursing certification?

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursing9462's topic in General Nursing

    I did the Nurse Builders class and liked it a lot. My hospital paid for it for us. I took the cert exam shortly after the class and found the test pretty

  18. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    HiddencatBSN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that defense just makes it worse. It’s heartbreaking, the witness

  19. Circumcision and numbing

    HiddencatBSN replied to cody elliott's topic in General Nursing

    Cultural bias that it’s the norm. When I was on pregnancy message boards the number one reason I saw was so that the baby would look like the

  20. I'm a sexless nurse, part 2

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Everywhere I’ve worked providers have had a chaperone for GU exams regardless of the gender mix. When I go to the gyn they always call in a chaperone for the pelvic exam and while I have had...

  21. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    That’s not the same thing at all. Supporting their exploration of identity by using the name and pronouns they choose is so benign and not equivalent to encouraging behavior that is harming their...

  22. How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    HiddencatBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t go by strikes so much as how it makes me feel overall. I have quit two jobs after being there a short time, one because I hated the unit (went from a teaching center childrens hospital peds...

  23. New Nurse, On Call, Called Off My Scheduled Shifts

    HiddencatBSN replied to Owlseye's topic in General Nursing

    Very common. In the ED that’s happened to be once because our census can shift quickly and the unit generally likes to hold on to staff to be able to handle potential shifts but when I worked med...

  24. EMTALA question

    HiddencatBSN posted a topic in Emergency

    Would refusing to treat a pediatric patient because the parent brought a non-patient sibling constitute an EMTALA violation? We have a very strict visitor policy in place but we allow siblings in the...

  25. EMTALA question

    HiddencatBSN replied to HiddencatBSN's topic in Emergency

    Do what, allow siblings or refuse treatment to families without anyone to care for
