    Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Excellent post. I believe that if you want to be cautious, then do so, I plan to continue to look out for myself as I always have. Those who didn't want to be, weren't

    PTO and Vacation

    Hoosier_RN replied to NS94's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly what @dream'nsaid. Many don't allow from day prior to Thanksgiving until January 2nd to allow for adequate direct care staffing through holidays, and in fairness to all direct care

    FNP job search gone bad

    Hoosier_RN replied to TravelNurseFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here are 2 things to think about: CV-19 has stopped/slowed down hiring in many places, as the energies of HR are devoted to other things, and many persons in HR working from home The NP field has...

    Unprofessional Conduct Online

    Hoosier_RN replied to Anon4thispost's topic in General Nursing

    We all have a bias on some level, whether we choose to admit it or not. It's learning to work with it and not let it dwell anywhere but in the back of our minds. Some people are more sensitive to...

    They've both had hearing aids, with no success. The Dr even set up for cell phone use in o?ffice. There are also dementia issues as well...everyone has great suggestions, all that we've tried. I was...

    Hoosier_RN replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    my SIL got them a tablet. It was a no go, they were unwilling/unable to give it a whirl unless someone came over to sit with them while they talked to someone on the iPad ?‍♀️. Both in laws are...

    RN fired from ICU and not offered transfer to another floor.

    Hoosier_RN replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've tested on request, twice in my career, and thought nothing of it, surely not even a target on me. I guess I live by the adage that if you've done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to sweat...

    RN fired from ICU and not offered transfer to another floor.

    Hoosier_RN replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that she should have turned her in to state, as any abuser should be. But I wasn't the supervisor for that facility. She quit after refusing testing, no one fired her. So while I had no proof...

    She's terrified of dogs! We've tried that in the past. My FIL loves them and would be over the moon, but she won't hear of it She's attempting to socialize, no one will open doors to her. She's 91,...

    Hoosier_RN replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My elderly MIL and FIL live next door, and all my hubby's family lives around on the family farm. They keep inviting everyone-family and church friends-over because they are lonely. All of us keep...

    RN fired from ICU and not offered transfer to another floor.

    Hoosier_RN replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    I did say that everything that is told by HR must be factual with evidence. Most good managers and HR depts are smart enough to winnow out the information. And many only offer hire dates to avoid...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    yep, too hard for me to conceive. I'm actually well read and well educated. Comments like yours is what backs people out of debate. Implying that someone couldn't possibly be as intelligent as you is...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, I'm more focused on taking care of myself, my team, and patients through this. Maybe some posters on here should self reflect on placing blame and why its so important. Here's a bite of reality:...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    how do we know? Show me something that isn't an opinion piece. The WHO stated that there wasn't transmission from human to human. That was incorrect They also stated that travel bans from China...

    World Health Organization

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No satire here. All of those sources are very left leaning. Sorry, I will also say the same of any right leaning sources if presented. To look in only one direction makes you look narrow minded. You...

    Kinda hard to make a sound decision regarding the 3.5 months prior, when the so-called experts that were supposed to be guiding him with information, did not provide said information, or gave...

    RN fired from ICU and not offered transfer to another floor.

    Hoosier_RN replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, an employer can, and will say anything that they wish, as long as it's true and provable. Example-you've interviewed for a new job and they are calling for a reference. They can say, HansRN...

    Hoosier_RN replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just find myself so short tempered with my hubby. He's essential in another field, but until yesterday with the possible threat of job loss if he didn't comply, started wearing a mask. He just...

    Finally able to practice nursing. Jobs???

    Hoosier_RN replied to Psickal09's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Depending on where you live, this may or may not be true. Some areas have nurses (of all levels) off due to furlough from low census regarding COVID-19. Chin up, it may take a little longer than...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Hoosier_RN replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Those jobs are offering no or poor housing (and there is very little selection at this time) 15-20 ICU pts per nurse and questionable PPE (some are requiring that the nurse bring their own. I know...

    Take job in dialysis or OR?

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

    That's odd, we were able to keep ours in sync. Our preceptors (pct) all have 20+ years experience, 10+ as preceptors. Maybe they've got a pattern to teaching? I wish I could get other techs to stay...
