  1. Absent Nurse Manager/Perianesthsia Director

    CoffeeScrubsAndRubberGloves posted a topic in PACU

    Our nurse manager is new. She's been there maybe a full 8 months. In the time that she's worked, she's found a reason to leave work early on a regular basis or "work from home" just about every single...

    I can really appreciate that! Moving where they teach you. I wish more people would. Most will move out here from whatever and then go back. And that doesn't help our immediate shortage here in the...

    Isn't it nice to have the freedom of choice. I guess I could just pack up and leave my 6 year old and 8 year old with their dad and take off to school for 3 years, but it's not realistic in my...

    Yes. It's ranked #1 in the country. And they only admit 25-30 in the homesite, and 20 I think in the other locations. I've been applying for 3 years. I'm running out of things to improve and I don't...
