    AGNP AANP

    I used the Barkley Review and DRTs (diagnostic reasoning tests), as well as the Leik AGNP Certification Review (3rd ED.). I liked the DRTs because they show you where you need to focus your studies. I liked the Leik app, because I could do practice q...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    I have not backtracked on anything. I just clearly outlined everything. And the fact that you don't understand it is not my problem.

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    I never said that those who did not go the extra mile had no value.

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    I was referring to people who just show up, and I stand by that assertion. I said I didn't want them on my team. I said they were no more valuable than a new hire, not that they had no value. Why do you continue to misquote me and be argumentative? ...

    This is getting a bit tedious. 1. You are referring to an excerpt. In fact, the excerpt you quoted is plainly visible in what I just posted to you, but I include it again, with emphasis. Note the part about seniority, as I referenced before. I disa...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    We do our vacations as you describe in your second example. I am fine with it. I respect the senior nurses, and I have no issue with them getting first pick. The way our schedules work, there is plenty of opportunity to schedule yourself off for 4-5 ...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    Funny. You wrote it in response to the post below, written by me, that references senior nurses. ? 'I disagree. The concept of seniority is exclusively about longevity. Nobody distinguishes whether or not the employee has done well or not. Honoring s...

    'They dependably show up, give quality care and work as a team member that's what good they are. All of those things contribute in a meaningful way. the extras are just that...extra. Some people don't have the skill to teach or lead and that isn't th...

    I don't think I am being punished. Wuzzie stated that not giving perks to senior nurses is 'punishment', so I reflected it back at her. I also did not state, nor did I assume, that all older nurses are bad nurses.

    You are all describing nurses who are just ‘there’. Where is the value? If they don’t share their knowledge, it means nothing to the department. The only impact is delivered to the patients and that is likely to be sub-par, because the nurse is not r...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    Ah, but if I show up, am dependable, do a good job, etc., am I to be punished because I am new? I have a family, responsibilities and yes, a life as well. If I do more, why shouldn’t I get credit? It is the old guard (like you, perhaps?) that sounds ...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    Rewarding years of service over performance serves as a disincentive to be productive. If someone works for me for 10, 20, 30 years and doesn't do anything more than show up, I don't want them on my team. What good is their experience if they don't t...

    I disagree. The concept of seniority is exclusively about longevity. Nobody distinguishes whether or not the employee has done well or not. Honoring seniority *may* reward excellence, however it rewards mediocrity as well. A better system is to give ...

    Discussing salary with co workers

    Engaging in a conversation where both sides are willing to disclose their salary is not being 'nosy', it means you care enough about your career to be proactive.

    I understand the loyalty aspect, but let's not confuse longevity with being a 'good employee', because they are definitely not the same thing.
