    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    Hoosier_RN replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe that LTCs have hospitals beat by a long shot, having done both I know from experience. They are both soul sucking, and profit is made at the expense of staff and patients in both settings,...

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    Hoosier_RN replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Adding to my prior comment, what if you'd been injured in some way during your shadow event? You'd be SOL, because you wouldn't be eligible for workman's comp, not being employed there. Again, I...

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    Hoosier_RN replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't ever do hands on in a job shadow event, in any capacity. If something went sideways in one way or another, I couldn't even begin to imagine the possible personal liability, depending on...

    I don’t want to work extra!

    Hoosier_RN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a rural area, not a big center. Most nurses have been at their jobs for years, and will die before they retire. New nurses have to travel an hour or more for work, except

    I don’t want to work extra!

    Hoosier_RN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on your location. The 3 area hospitals have 0 nursing offerings. Home health 0. In fact, the only listing I could find was 1 for my clinic, and 2 for a sister clinic, within an hour

    Religious Exemptions

    This makes me wonder then about those that don't take the vaccine for health reasons. They are just as likely to get it, regardless of precautions. They will then need vents, ECMO, CRRT, etc. I...

    Bullying

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was still a clinic manager, I would get occasional calls from a mom or dad about how their angel was being mistreated by being asked to do their job. I would simply tell them that "angel" was...

    Bullying

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya! Every year, my company does an employee satisfaction survey. I always state that as a nurse, I feel fairly compensated. However, the PCTs need a bump up in pay. They can go to area...

    Bullying

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    We get the 2nd reaction. As far as hiring motivated techs...anymore, we're lucky if any applicants respond to a interview request, much less show up to job shadow. So I get the need to hang on to...

    Bullying

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's not allowed on most dialysis facility properties, but management is so afraid to lose employees, that they don't reprimand. Also the reason for allowing phones and homework. It's a shame that...

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    Hoosier_RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I can go on FB and post if I want anyone to know who I am. Here, I can be open with my ideas I had a coworker approached recently and ask me if I was on here. But she thought I was another...

    Bullying

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    As long as they are getting their work done, and boss doesn't have an issue, then I don't usually care either. I do take issue when they sit around doing the homework and expect everyone else to pick...

    So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm jealous, in a good way, of all of the retirees. I'd love to retire, but can't at this time. The day that I do, watch out! Farm store sounds absolutely

    So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    Yes it does, and you "dress up" in your art however you wish. I'd know that mustache anywhere! Now, don't go and shave

    Hoosier_RN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    If you leave with no replacement in place, it is abandonment, whether your scheduled shift has ended or not. Your state entity will only care that you left patients without entrusting them into the...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but sadly, with experienced nurses leaving in droves (bedside and nursing both), it's usually recent grad training new grad in some locations ? sometimes, there is no one but new nurses, and...

    I don’t want to work extra!

    Hoosier_RN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't always work, as sometimes, no one will come relieve you. If you leave at that point, it becomes abandonment. I've always known that my clock out time isn't guaranteed. It's the suckiest...
