    Have ever declined a job offer and later on changed your mind?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    You would need to reapply. It would be inappropriate to reach out and basically say "I've changed my mind". If they liked you enough, they will call when you

    Can anyone break down working at DaVita, including the Salary

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

    When I worked the floor, if I traveled to another clinic, I made more at Fresenius, but as a general rule, I've asked friends in my area that do acute and clinic for both companies. As a general rule,...

    Thoughts from a brand new dialysis nurse

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Unless you have a strong clinic manager and upper management, this will happen. Kinda like CNAs or techs in acute or LTC who try to run the show. Yes, they are needed. No they aren't the

    What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    Hoosier_RN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Country Bumpkin General (my local hospital) has a policy regarding this. Instant termination. Except Drs, who aren't direct employees. They get a slap on the wrists

    You may not know specifics, but you, as a professional nurse, are responsible to know policy and procedure of every action you perform at every facility you perform at. Remember this going

    Reasons nurses get fired

    I have seen so much in 27 years...nursing is not what it was when I started. They are either "buddies/relatives", snitches, or the needed warm

    Who is responsible for lab results?

    Hoosier_RN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    It's the responsibility of the nurse to notify the ordering entity. The ordering entity will follow up with any new orders

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I would never post anything related to pay, period. Absolutely no ones business, no matter how proud you are. There are crazy kooks out there that troll, waiting to rob/steal, commit whatever crime....

    Barriers to SNF and ALF improvements

    Hoosier_RN replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's a sad state, as LTC is one of the heaviest regulated industries in the US, with both CMS and state regs governing. You know someone, somewhere totally has a clue and is rubbing their hand...

    Barriers to SNF and ALF improvements

    Hoosier_RN replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As a new nurse, you don't have the experience to realize that in theory, what you're saying is great, the reality doesn't match up. One LTC where I was DON did exactly fire all of the staff nurses and...

    Barriers to SNF and ALF improvements

    That's exactly how it plays out in Indiana. Unit managers, DoN, MDS, scheduler, and anyone with a title with the right letters behind their name. Same BS answer and all. It's a scam game. States need...

    Nurses standing up to management isn't going to fix the problem. State laws dictating staffing minimums to owners is what will fix the

    Have you been offered both/either jobs? I tell folks not to stress until they have that offer in hand. Good luck, but I too will err on the side of caution with Wuzzie. As a new nurse, who hasn't...

    Acute Dialysis Nurse Opportunity Dilemma

    Hoosier_RN replied to RD2731's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    As you would be an employee of the dialysis company, the hospital has no say so in them hiring you. The only exception would be had you been terminated for criminal activity, at which they could...
