Also curious about this program.

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 ...

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...

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.

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.

I got a survey from the hospital asking my full medical history, medication list, it goes on to specify any injuries and lists many specific back , knee, psych, carpal tunnel, etc. At the end it asks you sign off that everything is accurate or you ...

Any updates?

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...

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...

Do HH run true to their size chart? The purple label ones have a nice cut

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 ...

Do you work on my unit? Sounds exactly like my new job. Lied lied lied to get me through the door. Changed the hours, days, and the darn unit. Ive tried to talk to the manager multiple times, she just keeps nodding and saying ok lets re visit this ne...

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...

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...

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...

We always pull the floater first to fill a staffing hole. That’s why we have floats. Do the two units have different managers or one manger covers both of your units? I would make a case for “ hey I might be more needed here” but still go where the...

They came up enough to make it beneficial to make the move. I am still nervous, but ready to learn something new and meet some new people.

I counter offered, they came up some!

Hi all! I was offered a position I am well qualified for. They told me they can only offer me x amount per hour as they only count nursing experience In this specific department for an offer( not all if my Acute Nursing experience) They made an offer...

Hi all! I am a nurse with over 5 years of experience mostly med surg and to be honest, I am way overdo for a change. I am applying for a program that will train you into a new specialty and I am really struggling with choosing which one. I am drawn t...

Thank you both! I appreciate so much you both taking the time to respond. :) Application going in tomorrow! I am super nervous!!! Wish me luck! The app lets me put my top 3 choices, and the units review the resumes and decide who they want to intervi...

In a Facebook group I some someone posted that people in the Valley have started hearing back on med surg positions, everyone else still waiting.

Jus curious to hear from those of you that did TIPS. Did you like the program? What units did you end up on and how was your training? Anyone in Santa Monica? Just looking for feedback on how people did with the program.

Hi all! I am hoping to apply to TIPS for January as well. Do they not say what departments they are hiring for at each location? I am going to try to speak to a recruiter tomorrow. Is there anyone that works for Prov that can answer some questions fo...

How bad is it to wear the same suit to a second interview? Its blue, so will be obvious. I got past the first interview, and was invited back for a second one and have nothing else to wear. I am oddly shaped and petite and spent 5 hours in the mall...
