    Nurse Managers: Do you answer your phone on your days off even when not on call?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    A call from staff to the DON would be appropriate. It sounds like the DON needs to make a call schedule with all nursing management type positions--except possibly MDS, unless there is more than 1 MDS...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I do graphic design using Serif Affinity Suite. I'm learning to make graphics for my cutting machines. Some of the tools just wear my patience, then I have that ah-ha moment. Until I get it down pat,...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Hoosier_RN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had a mild case, but felt like crap-exhausted and SOB-since covid, before vax. I felt horrible the day after vax for 12 hours-ish. My hubby got covid and was in horrific shape. Still exhausted,...

    Nurse Managers: Do you answer your phone on your days off even when not on call?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for saying what I couldn't find the nicer words to say. I'd start typing and it sounded so mean and crass that I couldn't finish. I also believe that the OP is very attention seeking...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Hoosier_RN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Which poster? The one that UD16 responded to, or UD16? The comment from the poster UD16 responded to was not proactive in any way. It is also dangerous for people to act like this and think it's...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Hoosier_RN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, then maybe at this point, you are undecided. I agree with your decision as long as if the CDC and/or others can give clear data, you may change your mind. Again, from either side (pro vs...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Hoosier_RN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it's OK to educate others on risks vs benefits of the vax (or any other subject) if asked. It's not OK to bully others, for any reason at all,

    Nurse Managers: Do you answer your phone on your days off even when not on call?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Not realistic. They'll just start calling/texting from their cells. Do a "do not disturb", then you specifically select who can reach

    Nurse Managers: Do you answer your phone on your days off even when not on call?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    1) If you aren't on call you aren't responsible. 2) you almost make it sound like you're trying to win a popularity contest. You won't. If you don't have to respond, put a do not disturb on...

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Most LTCs can effectively deal with issues that come up. Antibiotics, pain control, respiratory issues. The last few that I worked at, no one went to the hospital unless chest pain, MI or stroke...

    Nurse Managers: Do you answer your phone on your days off even when not on call?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Stop answering phone/text/messaging when not on call. If not, you are inviting this to happen, so no cause to blame

    You're coworkers do this to you because they know that you'll do the work. Stop. Or, stop complaining on here if you're going to continue to do it. Your last 20 or so threads have the same theme. My...

    I have experience in ICU and med surg. My WOC was originally paid for by my hospital. I went to HH/hospice and used it, but let it lapse because it's high $$$ to get and maintain, those companies...

    Over $300k in student loans - help.

    Hoosier_RN replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

    But that's not considered full time. Eventually it will end, we hope. New grads in my area are doing it for around the same amount hourly, but most know it's only a temporary

    Do you agree with Gov. Cuomo?

    Hoosier_RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think, after watching a couple of the evening programs on CNN last night, this is what it all boils down to. There were/are issues in every state, most governors have just not fibbed to their...

    I never lost my senses of smell or taste. I'm just constantly tired. At work, when I wear the masks (that have an odd plastic-y kind of coating) I get SOB after about 4 hours. If I wear a cloth mask...

    Thanks for posting that article. I've realized that its most likely what I've experienced, even if ISDH didn't have knowledge to share. I'm already doing much better after Tylenol and rest. My arm...

    I think he has/had aspirations of a presidential run. I'd say that's bit the dust at this point. But, I've seen crazier things in

    He does come across as that. I think that whatever future political aspirations he held are now gone. Sad, because perception of the voters is
