    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don’t know why you think its only been done once, or that I'm OK with it. It's a vicious cycle that has been going on for years. As another poster mentioned, the public is well aware of the lack...

    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's been done. What happened? A little of paper shuffling, then a lot of nothing. Indiana currently is "investigating" accusations of mishandling during this pandemic. Sadly, we all know nothing will...

    How much should I ask for?

    Hoosier_RN replied to lizet4455RN's topic in General Nursing

    You can try to negotiate it. You may get a pay cut due to that because of OT they anticipate to incur; they may say no. Depends on the company, state, general location, other variables, etc. If others...

    How much should I ask for?

    Hoosier_RN replied to lizet4455RN's topic in General Nursing

    No oneupmanship LOL. Just showing OP to be careful what they accept, especially if salaried. I'm a clinic manager, the only one in my area (as far as I know) that isn't salaried. I negotiated...

    Nursing Student Wants to Quit

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Realistically, you will need to spend some time at the bedside before you can advance to other levels. The first year is hard, but others do it every day. You can

    A Staffing Perfect Storm

    I've got words for this nonsense that I can't post on here. The Admins would kick me off of here in a second. This makes me beyond

    A Staffing Perfect Storm

    Hoosier_RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's ****ing disturbing that this is the norm, and these greedy pieces of garbage will continue to take these bonuses because they've worked "so hard"

    Failed clinical portion of nursing school during COVID

    Hoosier_RN replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    The OP doesn't give any relevant details. Just leaves people to guess, then jumps down peoples throats when they "make assumptions". It's why I've not bothered to offer any solution. But the popcorn ?...

    A Staffing Perfect Storm

    You say you're a new nurse. You'll develop the time management and prioritization skills with time. You'll also find the best brain sheet for you by asking your unit. Good luck on your new

    Becoming a Certified Dialysis Nurse Yes/No?

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

    Don't know about DaVita, but for Fresenius, it's a requirement for CAP 3 and above, which does garner a raise. They are still revamping the CAP program, not sure what the requirements will

    Exactly this. In fact, my last Christmas in LTC, I did 3 admits on Christmas day. 2 of families had come the day before to sign mom/dad in and complete what the resident couldn't, and brought their...

    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sadly, you can speak up, but management will replace you as well. In nursing, the squeaky wheel doesn’t get the grease. Usually it gets replaced...I've seen it many times. I've worked at 2 LTCs that...

    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At the same time, many hospital units treat the nurse as a glorified pill pusher as well. Read some posts on here about unsafe staffing ratios in the acute setting. At least in my area, the LTC...

    Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    Hoosier_RN replied to diane e's topic in General Nursing

    If you're not a nurse there, you need to leave it alone. If a nurse there is having issues, they can report it to CA BON. But, I remember reading recently, possibly on here on AN, that someone in CA...

    Nursing specialties to avoid while pregnant?

    Hoosier_RN replied to CMV2254's topic in Nursing Career

    How is your area for new grads? Right now with covid, many are hiring experienced only. In which case, I'd say take the job that you can get. If your area is more new grad friendly, I'd look at...
