    Multicollinearity replied to werkinit's topic in General Nursing

    I refer to my textbooks 2-3 times per week. Just this week I had a hemodynamically unstable patient urinating what looked like straight blood. He had a complicated renal history, and I went home and...

    Verbal Orders - MD to RN to RN without Chart

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    The specialist had walked off the unit (but not off the property) with the chart. He does whatever he wants and the facility does.not.care. RN #1 is by boss, too. I told him I did not feel...

    no cell phones no personal phone calls at work

    Multicollinearity replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, too many have cell-phone & texting addiction like their phones are an appendage of their body. I don't believe there is any inherent right to a cell phone at anyone's place of employment. I...

    New Grad - no taxes taken from pay

    Multicollinearity replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    A 1099 form is a compensation form reported to the IRS for independent contractors/self-employed workers. I don't understand why you'd fill out a W-4 with the LTC facility when the agency is paying...

    New Grad - no taxes taken from pay

    Multicollinearity replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Ask them if you will be receiving a 1099. Self-employed people receive 1099s instead of the W-form series. If you are receiving a W-2 then the following doesn't apply. Self-employed people must pay...

    Multicollinearity replied to survrgrl08's topic in General Students

    In nursing school I never used any formula that I was aware of. I'd just look at the question and start the math with a conceptual understanding of what I need to do and where I needed to go with the...

    Multicollinearity replied to paul2000's topic in Correctional

    I would probably take the California job for the high $$$$$s unless you are really interested in looong term Federal employment with the BOP. Who knows how long California's Plata situation will...

    Should I try to work as CNA before I get my RN?

    Multicollinearity replied to nolamor's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't work as a CNA or PCT. I didn't want to. I'm glad I didn't. However, it does make landing your first job more difficult if you don't have CNA/PCT experience. Probably, the ideal scenario...

    Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    Multicollinearity replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    On my first day of nursing school I remember our nursing instructor saying to the class, "You'll never go without work as an RN...no matter what state the economy is in." Fast forward to today: a...

    Curious about the new grads not finding jobs?

    Multicollinearity replied to bubbly_nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Multicollinearity replied to OKEnquirer's topic in Correctional

    LPN/LVNs are not becoming obsolete. That talk has gone on for ages. What has changed is that LPN/LVNs are increasingly cornered into fewer and fewer practice environments. It used to be that you...

    Should a new grad apply for jobs that require one year experience?

    I agree about applying for the experience preferred jobs, no matter how much experience is preferred. As a new grad, I got a job that "preferred" 3-5 years of hospital
