    How would you deal with a nurse who is struggling to show up to work on time?

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you're not hearing what you want to hear. As an adult, sometimes you have to have that kick in the rear. What if next time you're late, you get walked out? That could happen at one...

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    By your own admission, you understand that there's a problem, but as of yet, aren't doing much to fix it. You expect those around you to pretty much deal with it, as you haven't done much to

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I've been the manager. While many may empathize with you, you are leaving teammates in the lurch. Think of how you'd feel with your replacement 20-30 minutes late regularly. You may have legit issues,...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! Many of us have seen way worse than this written by care providers of varying levels at one time or another. It's nothing that warrants mote than a cursory chuckle, if that, tease the writer if...

    I've been an auditor for my state. I've never dinged anyone for terminology in their documentation, so long as what they document is factual. One of my friends has been an auditor for 30+ years in...

    Peri-care without gloves?

    Hoosier_RN replied to lightwing's topic in General Nursing

    My nurses aide training was coming in and shadow for a shift. Then the personnel rep (not HR in those days) would ask "want the job? Be here tomorrow at 3, go to the uniform shop before hand, tell...

    Actually, they want 5+ years experience at new nurse pay, that will blissfully put up with the nonsense

    War on Nurses

    Hoosier_RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This was going on before. I've seen experienced nurses walked out over nothing (cutbacks was the most hilarious reason) and replaced by someone at half the cost. When Press Ganeys would come out,...

    War on Nurses

    Hoosier_RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That sounds good, but we are the magic pill society. There's a pill to fix everything (at least most patients and families think so). I've seen 90 year olds families refuse hospice/palliative care,...

    War on Nurses

    Hoosier_RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Gotcha! I occasionally see some nurses talking about "the nurse" who wouldn't, or couldn't do "x", not understanding said nurse is an LPN and may be limited by scope. While it's nice to assume that...

    Hoosier_RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's not admins that determine the job scope for LPNs, it's the state BONs. If a facility chooses to ignore those scopes, forfeiture of reimbursement or closure of facility are amongst possible...

    Mom retired in 2014. Says it wasn't a moment too soon. She says she doesn't know how anyone does it nowadays. At the same time, she was a dept manager who enjoyed nice bonuses, although surgery is run...

    Hoosier_RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And thus began the downfall of healthcare, according to my mom. She got her RN in 1966, and says the change was pretty immediate after the law in 1972 or 1973 (she can't rememberexact year). She says...

    War on Nurses

    The admins and upper management in hospitals and LTC groups know the issues, they just don't care about retention efforts. They are unwilling to lose pay and bonuses, to the detriment of staff and...

    Hoosier_RN replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    Again, most people who go to these ratings to post are angry. If I'm happy with a product or service, I usually don't go to the corporate website and post, I go about my happy little way. I only...

    You said in your OP that you're pursuing you MSN. For what? You don't have much experience to back it up, so it probably won't help landing a job, and you will still have to

    Do you ever get disappointed when certain nurses call in?
