    Robmoo replied to Rn2bmomta's topic in General Nursing

  2. New director is saying we don't get paid for taking "required classes" at the assisted living facility?

    Robmoo replied to felixthecat99's topic in General Nursing

    It is going to depend upon the labor laws in your state. If it is a BON requirement then you are probably stuck doing it on your own. If it is required by your facility, then it is likely on their...

  3. Are you paid for required early clock in and clock out?

    Robmoo replied to NurseKole's topic in General Nursing

    I gather that you just want to vent and that is why you are asking here. Employment law varies from state to state. If you think that you have a legit complaint, then go to the body that governs...

    Robmoo replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

  5. Leaving Bedside

    Robmoo replied to Nora Joyce's topic in General Nursing

  7. Leaving Bedside

    Robmoo replied to Nora Joyce's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the same boat in that I am bright enough to work in the ICU, but I don't have the temperament. When my patients do well I am happy. When they take a turn for the worst, I keep asking if there...

  8. Discrimination Allegations

    Robmoo replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what a lawyer would say about those the false statement in the accusation. Insisting that the security officer must be a man? "I'll never be your beast of burden. My back is broad, but...

  9. Intravenous Catheter Selection and Why it Matters

    Robmoo replied to Courtney Lemanski's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    We use the BD Nexiva in our Cardiac Stress Testing department and it is wonderful! The catheters are sturdier which assists with canulation. They were around $6.00 last time that I looked which is...

  10. Weird Performance Evaluation

    Robmoo replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

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

  13. Advice please! New grad RN with no work exp and 1 year gap!

  14. Should I Be Worried On How I Handled Phone Call From State?

    Robmoo replied to uniteddemclub's topic in Nursing Career

    I think that this has already been said, but it bears repeating. The DON gets paid to put up with this stuff. Next time just forward it up the chain of command and let them deal with it. I think...

  16. Fired. How To Get Over It.

    Robmoo replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Career

    That employer was looking for a reason to get rid of you. I can think of no other logical reason for them being so petty. Reporting you to the BON, that was ridiculous! Was this a discrimination...

  17. Switched Jobs and Made A Huge Mistake....

    Robmoo replied to Mckinneyhog's topic in General Nursing

  18. Go Into Nursing Or No?

    Robmoo replied to maybefuturenurse's topic in General Nursing

  20. Student Loan Debt Direct Entry

    Robmoo replied to jentl2002's topic in Psychiatric

    In the DFW area the NP market is saturated. NP's do not make much more than RN's and definitely don't make more than an RN who puts in some overtime. In this market $160k in student loan debt would...

  23. Nurse falsifying information

    Robmoo replied to NSnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  24. Switched Jobs and Made A Huge Mistake....

    Robmoo replied to Mckinneyhog's topic in General Nursing
