   My employer told us we need to exhaust all pto then accumulate negative 80 hours in pto before we could apply for unemployment. They also cancelled any apprived vacations for the next 8 months and said we can’t take them until we re earn that negativ...

3. Nurse bringing child to work

   40isthenew30 replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing

   Same with the lack of maternity leave. Our hospital offers none just unpaid FMLA. And when you come back you get put on whatever unit they can’t staff. They claim it’s equal but it’s not.

6. Nurse bringing child to work

   40isthenew30 replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing

   Night shift has a bit of a difficult situation finding child care. But if its allowed for one, it needs to be allowed for all unless just a temporary situation (like husband d traveling for work for 2 days or whatever ) I can't imagine it would be al...

7. New Employment Occ Health

   40isthenew30 posted a topic in General Nursing

   What right to privacy do I have as an employee? I am a little hesitant to give so much detail of my medical history to employee health. My last employer pulled it all from Epic which felt like a violation to me, she had it pulled up and was reading ...

8. Disheartened by friends' reaction about Residency

   40isthenew30 replied to PJishere's topic in General Nursing

   Is your contract in Fl our CA? It was my understanding that those contracts are not enforceable in Cali, so worth looking into. Most are also prorated or allow you to transfer to diff units, so make sure you read every work before signing it. Dont l...

10. Plus Size Scrubs

    40isthenew30 replied to 40isthenew30's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I had an issue with UA once also, they sent pants with a very obvious manufacturer defect seam not sewn together down the inner leg, and they were very difficult to deal with, refused to help, and told me to contact the manufacturer who kept sending ...

11. Plus Size Scrubs

    40isthenew30 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    Can anyone recommend some Plus Sized scrubs that are not too hot, will not fade too badly, and look decent? I like the Wonderwink Plus material, but am between sizes, one is way too big and the other way too small. I prefer darker colors.

13. Should I have accessed her port?

    40isthenew30 replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    The reasoning is OP stated their policy is to not access a port if they have a working PIV. So if you do, and the patient gets a raging clabsi and you get deposed for the malpractice suit that follows, your documentation is clear on why you are viol...

14. Career Crossroads

    40isthenew30 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I’d take the PRN. I’d much rather do 3 days a week. Small kids get sick often, have extracurricular activities they need to get to, and still enjoy being with you and spending time with you. I miss that stage. Enjoy the time it passes so quickly. P...

15. Should I have accessed her port?

    40isthenew30 replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have documented each time patient requested it, and also documented educated re infection risk etc. Make sure to cover your butt and refer to policy and procedure . But ultimately I would have accessed it because at my facility the...
