    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    2 LTCs in my area are fully staffed with RNs, as there are not many LPNs graduating anymore, most are going straight for RN. So I'd like to know which LPNs that they're bossing around. Also, want to...

    nurse leaders at the bedside

    Hoosier_RN replied to livdream1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about hospital, but in dialysis in my region, managers, both nursing and non nursing, are expected to work as techs, which I think is a good thing. It helps with staff shortages as well...

    I never mentioned 30 year old equipment, but the very newest advertised in the US aren't used. If a wheelchair is needed, a basic wheelchair is given. I have multiple patients who think that they're...

    2023 Raises/Cost of living

    Hoosier_RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another nurse and I got 12%, but others in my clinic got 2-3%, as they refuse to do this, that and the other-work as a tech, cannulate, etc. I got lucky and was noticed for what I bring to the table,...

    New Scam Alert

    Hoosier_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to give a heads up on a new scam in the form of an email that I received this morning. It was the Credit Boreau (note spelling), stating my horrible credit rating, delinquent accounts,...

    No, some companies have the group things that if you plan to retire in x year range, you get x stock mix, next group range gets x stock mix, so on and so forth. At least how it's been at my last 3 or...

    Until our legislators, all of them, not just the guy from another state, rewrite tax code, not much will change. Sadly, most folks like the elected officials for their state and blame the other states...

    My patients in my clinic are of the opposite situation, so I know quite a few in the opposing camp. But if you can honestly tell me that you haven't met some that abuse the system as well, I'll call...

    Moral character hearing NYS for Nursing license

    Hoosier_RN replied to PNGrad2001's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You need to contact an attorney that specializes with nursing boards. Listen to every word they say and follow their advice to the letter. Honestly, this doesn't look good for

    I'm talking about those who refuse to participate in basic self care (diet, exercise, hygiene, etc) then want to blame the system when it blows up on them, or wants the newest magic pill that...

    I agree, but want to add that pharmaceutical advertising also adds to the expectations as well. As a child of the 60s/70s, I don't remember prescription medications being marketed, much less at the at...

    I agree, I'd love nothing more than to kiss the insurers goodbye, because that's where many problems lie. Then bloated admin at the top could be gone. Too many other fixes needed to even start...

    TMB, go back and read my other comments. I have not made any comments that say socialized medicine is awful, so your attack on my comments is unwarranted. I'm simply pointing out that the US has some...

    I never said we had a far superior system, but the folks that come, are coming because the treatment is available, so that is what makes a differencein those cases. That's what I'm getting at as far...

    They would have to review your documents and approve, or deny. States vary in their requirements. Licensure in one state does not automatically convey licensure in

    Needing HR/experience advice

    Hoosier_RN replied to AnnaR's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not understanding, why toss the vial, why not just relabel correctly? I'll be honest, ANY field, not just healthcare, will find a way to get rid of you with an injury. It's an additional cost that...
