  1. Employee Complaint

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    The phlebotomist probably took offense because it might have made her feel inadequate. She probably felt like she was bothering you. Next time you have questions like this, I would ask your co-workers...

  2. Kaiser telemedicine RN from home

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to Jac71's topic in Telephone Triage

    Is KPOC in southern cal? I am in northern cal. We belong to CNA and none of us can work from home. If you are in a nurse's union you should ask them about working from home. I will PM you with more...

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to ILoveHorsesRN's topic in General Nursing

    So is the point of having me come back a second time so the staff can all talk together and see if they want me? She also wants me to come back to meet other staff. The waiting is very difficult. I...

  7. Nurses' Week - Upended.

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    A Burlap/canvas bag is exactly what my employer gave us with the company logo on it. No thanks. Plus it smelled so strong, some nurses had an allergic reaction to it and had to go home with allergy...

  8. Nurses' Week - Upended.

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's wrong to not give the nurses anything. However, what I don't like is my employer always gives us something with company logo on it. Can't we just get a $10-$20 Starbucks

  13. Is it me, or am I being given unrealistic assignments in the NICU?

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to tmjwe3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow. That sounds like a heavy assignment! I worked NICU a total of 25 years. At the first NICU, we never had 3 baby assignments because the babies were high level acuity. At the second hospital they...

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to Spinkerton82's topic in Health, Stress Management

  17. Does volunteering at kaiser help u get a job?

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to Jeremy390's topic in General Nursing

    It would be a good idea to volunteer first to get your foot in the door. But, I agree I don't think they would take a volunteer janitor. It would be more like greeting people when they come in and...

  19. Anybody here??

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to MA Nurse's topic in Telephone Triage

  23. Kaiser telemedicine RN from home

    ILoveHorsesRN replied to Jac71's topic in Telephone Triage

    I am confused as to why you think you would lose seniority. If you stay within the Kaiser system and transition into a different area, you do not lose seniority. I did it, so I know for a fact you...
