    Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    Hoosier_RN replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, you are not soulless. It's a reality that we need to face. In the event that the coronavirus worsens or warrants, or any other catastrophic situation presents, tough choices will need to be...

    Admin/Clerical Staff in Scrubs, Observing Procedures

    Hoosier_RN replied to jena5111's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to ask the same thing, but then re-read The OPs boss isn't this person's boss, so probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it. This clerk isn't in nursing school, so they shouldn't...

    CRNA Mills?

    Hoosier_RN replied to stevena9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AllNurses has had issues with negative school reviews before. Posts have been taken down. So it's known to be a no-no. If you have knowledge, good or bad, just PM it to the

    Can the Government force us back to work?

    Hoosier_RN replied to rosepetals's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wouldn't look at other countries, they don't dictate our policies. But, I guess if they ever run out of funds, they could stop disability payments. I doubt it will ever happen, but theoretically, it...

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely don't think things like this crosses boundaries. To me, crossing boundaries is giving phone numbers, accepting FB friend requests, or sharing home addresses and the like. We can bond...

    How should I approach a request to transfer?

    Hoosier_RN replied to FLnurse1127's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Go for it and explain that you wish to grow. Any manager would rather you stay with a facility that to hold you back and risk losing you

    New Grad Losing Hope of Getting Job

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

    Did you take a government or civics class? Elections determine who fills government seats. Those folks determine budgets and budgetary concerns. CMS is one of the entities who receives funding....

    Do Not Resuscitate - An Inconvenient Truth About Our Healthcare System

    Hoosier_RN replied to Skwidward's topic in General Nursing

    It happens more often than not. I saw it so often in LTC that I no longer cringed about it. Now that I'm no longer in that environment, it saddens me to the

    Another face mask post

    Hoosier_RN replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse, but I would call the parents to provide education and direct them to the cdc site for further information. Then I would have the masked avenger take off his mask, as it is...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Hoosier_RN replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    3-7 years is pretty standard. Verbal, even with a witness, on either side, is iffy, as it becomes he said/she said. In writing is objective. As another poster stated they will say anything to get...

    New Grad Losing Hope of Getting Job

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

    Unfortunately, it's the nature of business. ANY business. Employers are constrained by budgets, no matter what their needs are. In some areas there is a saturation of new grads. In other areas, not so...

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem with boundaries, but there are a couple of patients (male) at my clinic who have tried to find out where myself and a couple of nurses and techs (all female) live and/or what we...

    How to land a new grad ICU residency?

    Hoosier_RN replied to NCSUrn97's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You say you have a short list of locations where you want to work. Depending on the new grad situation, you may need to be more open to other locations for that first job. Realistically, if the...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Hoosier_RN replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    From a management perspective, the class was a shift. It's considered an important building block to your growth, and it was a scheduled segment of time that you were expected to be present for. You...

    Hoosier_RN replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you were terminated at this hospital, the chances of you being hired there for the foreseeable future is pretty slim. You are most likely going to have to start elsewhere and get experience before...

    I'm friendly with coworkers, but friendships, like my romantic relationships, I keep out of the workplace. I belong to groups that fulfill my interests and that's where I've found my

    Do I have what it takes to succeed in Nursing?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hurricane's topic in General Nursing

    Also, look at the real market for new grads in your location. There is a shortage of experienced nurses, an oversaturation of new grads in many areas. Are you willing to move to another area of the...
