    Unsatisfied Patient

    Hoosier_RN replied to summertx's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Because a Dr or NP, or even staff nurse, refuse to do their job? How fair would it be to the people who actually do their job? You do your part and document. Let the person who isn't doing their...

    Unsatisfied Patient

    Hoosier_RN replied to summertx's topic in General Nursing

    While you cannot force a NP or Dr to return call, you need to get the call out there. If there's a complaint to state, the response " I didn't call because they don't answer " will definitely not cut...

    Refer them back to that provider. You answer for yourself, the other prescriber will have to answer for their

    Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Hoosier_RN replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I can't even recommend it for most young people-I dissuaded both of my daughters in law, and one is now an OT, the other a welder, both make delicious money, working great hours. When the young techs...

    Need advice- new grad program/floor position or case management?

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

    Take a new grad position if offered. Things happen, at least it was caught before it went too

    Help - “New” grad working in dialysis with crazy hours

    Hoosier_RN replied to CN101's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    90 hours in 2 weeks is 45 hours per week if I'm reading this right which really isn't bad, or is it 90 hours per week for 2 weeks? That's awful, but some of us have had worse in other specialties at...

    Fired (Wrongfully?) And It Hurts

    Hoosier_RN replied to joansmith1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you got out of there in perfect time, even if by firing. If they were that backbiting, you're much better off. Head up, get back into the game, another job is looking for

    How physically demanding is NICU - back pain remedies?

    Hoosier_RN replied to sjk's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm going to put this out there as well: just because you want NICU, there is no guarantee that you'll start there, it's a popular specialty along with all mom/baby related. Some don't hire new grads,...

    Desperate New Grad NYC/LI

    Truthfully, most hiring managers don't give a rats butt about your GPA. Mention if you wish, but most will skim right by

    Please help! Which job offer should I take???

    There's politics involved at every job, local as well as distant

    Need advice- new grad program/floor position or case management?

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

    Interview, but I don't know of many case management positions that hire without experience. Who knows? But here's a little secret: floor experience is not what it's cracked up to be, many threads on...

    Please help! Which job offer should I take???

    Hoosier_RN replied to cmyr711's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with family and friends. You could eventually work your way into ICU locally. The 2 hour drive would be the deal breaker for me, with no guarantee of ICU. You won't get that drive time back...

    Hoosier_RN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    Ours are finally doing visits in person (1 never stopped, never did remote-said he needed the face to face to determine his patients real needs!), but many days I missed lunch. I was clinic manager...

    Hoosier_RN replied to nasr69's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    It's a huge learning curve from other types of nursing. Also, look at your market. I'm in a few FB dialysis groups for dialysis nurses, and they say it's hard to get into in FL, and there's low...

    Desperate New Grad NYC/LI

    Hoosier_RN replied to NYCnewGrad2021's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That doesn't mean you're black balled. Black balled means that they actively set out to not hire you for a specific reason. Your location is very hard to get hired, if other posts are any indication....

    Worried after first day... moral dillema?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Vicki17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know how many times in my career that I've had a patient tell me "nurse x didn't do that (pick an assessment)". To this day, I still tell them that if nurse x signs off on said assessment and...

    Manager wants us back in office...

    Hoosier_RN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    It's the "I'm being bullied" syndrome. You say something that goes against what the person wants to hear, and you're being mean. None of the responses were, and I don't think OP was either. I...

    How Has Covid Affected Your Job as a Nurse?

    Hoosier_RN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned in almost 30 years of nursing, that whatever TPTB wants, will happen. You can have 1000 notes of proof, they don't care. At Country Bumpkin General, they called all the at home workers...
