    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are some social media influencers crying about horribly she's been treated, nursesshould band together and demand that she get her license back. Nurse Erica comes to mind first. It made me sick...

    What should I do about my new Job in Orientation. HELP! L&D nurse

    Hoosier_RN replied to NICUnLDRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Start asking your preceptor about resources: YouTube videos, in-house videos, etc; read books and manuals; ask coworkers questions, such as " I saw you do this in x situation, why?" People love to...

    Can someone help me decide on an insurance plan?

    Hoosier_RN replied to jmagda5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's hard to make a recommendation without knowing specifics, which will vary by facility, as each employer buys into different plans, levels, and specifics. Talk to coworkers who actually have the...

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. But when you have an idiot putting patients in jeopardy because of lack of knowledge and only looking at $$$, something bad is going to happen. It's a matter of when, where, and

    A bad, or good, manager can happen regardless of degree. But no healthcare experience is how we've gotten this penny pinching, bottom line, makes no sense, policies and

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    A Fresenius in my region tried that. That person got escorted out yesterday, after leaving a clinic short staffed, 1 nurse and 1 tech for 24 patients. He said he didn't realize that was detrimental or...

    Clinically Inexperienced Manager

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Overall, bad idea. If you have no clue about the area, you can't appropriately manage, plan for staffing or supplies, etc. Someone, staff or patient, could be seriously injured or worse. Just my...

    Why no retention bonuses??

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    My employer (1 of the big 2 dialysis) gave an $1800 retention bonus in early 2022, to retain until 1/1/23. After taxes and such, I received $686. Most of my coworkers that signed came out at about a...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I shouldn't reply, but sometimes I just can't help it. I suspect that whichever camp this OP falls into, there is some level of mental illness present. It concerns me for patients and...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You were given a task to perform, regardless of its level of competency on your barometer. You refused. You sound petty and childish. You're lucky that you still have a job. Grow up, and perform to...

    Seeking New Job After Being Let Go. Any advice on the "do's and don'ts" during interviews?

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Nursing Career

    No I think that's fine. An interviewer just doesn't want to hear trash talk about a former employer or coworkers. Keeping it professional is the way to go. Good luck on your job

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I was watching a YouTube clip of folks from Scranton who grew up with him. None could recall this claim, and no one from adulthood could verify that it carried over. I also realize people can make...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Queenien's topic in General Nursing

    You would need another ATT to test again and in this circumstance, I doubt that you'd get one. Questions like this would be best for the FL BON. You will need to be patient until NY passes a decision...

    Someone mentioned dialysis nursing. Unless the bus runs 24/7 (because you will have a few weeks in the year that Sundays are required to work due to holidays), many clinics require early arrival (I...
