    Job searching while under investigation

    Hoosier_RN replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There used to be the myth that a former employer could only give date ranges of employment or could be sued. An employer can say anything as long as it is factual, ie-"nurse Susie was terminated for...

    I can’t get past orientation and want to be an aid instead

    Hoosier_RN replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

    Reading many threads and posts on here, most new nurses need 1+ years acute experience + BSN to get an acute job in CA. I agree about the ridiculous ratios. I wouldn't even consider a hospital job at...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Hoosier_RN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    It sounds good, but with the AMAs lobbying power, and the often at odds with itself ANA, I think CMS will keep MDs as leaders. Just my .02, whether right or

    Thanks, I'd never even thought of that. Midlines are popular in my area in the LTC community. Other settings, not so

    Has anyone ever stepped down from a role?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You can knit pick/ micromanage all you want, it will only serve to drive you crazy. Also, if your facility uses an EHR, you could look for trends on reports. But that information is only as good as...

    How hard is bedside nursing on the body?

    Hoosier_RN replied to starter12345's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to pursue something else in the medical field. Perhaps rad tech or US tech. You may end up working in a facility that has equipment, or doesn't, or some. Sometimes equipment isn't...

    Hoosier_RN replied to nnasser83's topic in General Nursing

    No HCA facilities in my vicinity, but from what I've read about them on here, they're not the greatest to work for. I just know the residencies in my area only take newly licensed nurses (<1yr...

    Hoosier_RN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    But, some areas are talking of doing away with the attendings and going to all NP settings. Not just MD offices. But no increase in pay. I've read these concerns and could definitely see it...

    Hoosier_RN replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    I pondered this all as well. Most Drs that I know totally pay for their children's education, so that they don't have debt. This situation would be a definite outlier. I had also raised my eyebrows...

    I regret going into nursing-what should i do?

    Hoosier_RN replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Also, not mentioned, but nursing is a small world. After interviewing, manager or HR may ask prior manager if they know you, informally of course. Depending on how you left that last job, or any...

    I would ask your manager for your policy. Generally, I would say yes to hold, but since I don't work where you do, I don't want to tell you wrong. If you give the insulin, send a light snack-pack of...
