1. Mandatory Overtime?

   guest1135744 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work at an ambulatory surgery center that is owned by a big hospital system. They have decided to move away from staff volunteering to stay late to assigning staff as "late person" on our staff schedule. My question is around the fact that we...

2. When will my PA license officially be compact?

   guest1135744 replied to pamalamadingdong's topic in Pennsylvania

   It's driving me a little crazy because I've been picking up PRN shifts here and there and I could have a lot more opportunities with a compact license, but PA seems to be in no rush to get this done.

3. When should a new grad reveal a disability that prevents them from working nights?

   guest1135744 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I don’t understand why the OP is applying for a night position when they cannot physically WORK night shift? What am I missing? 100% bait and switch.

4. Age Discrimination in Nursing

   guest1135744 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I guess it shows your age, that you were alive when aol was at it's height-or at the very start of the "internet.” This article is pretty disappointing all around.

5. Penn Medicine Operating room

   guest1135744 replied to guest1135744's topic in Operating Room

   To be clearer, I’m asking if there are any University of Penn nurses who work at the University City location in Philadelphia, PA.

   Hi, are there any Penn Medicine operating room nurses here? If so May I send you a message via inbox? thank you.

7. I called in sick today, they didn't accept it.

   guest1135744 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

   I think it means you have to report to work. It’s happened to me maybe once my entire career. I’ve worked sick plenty but didn’t try to call out.

8. Are nurses really leaving nursing in droves?

   guest1135744 replied to Mqshell's topic in General Nursing

   We lost 1/2 of our staff for a variety of reasons and #1 was being told we could go ahead and go if an opportunity came up by administration so 1/2 of my unit went. We have been treated like trash for over a year and it’s been hard. I’m doing what I ...

9. Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

   guest1135744 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in COVID

   One of my co worker told me, at the height of the pandemic: “You need to do what is right for YOU and YOUR FAMILY; look out for yourself.” That being said, Covid upped the ante; everyone is entitled to make their own choices. I will never shame those...

10. Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    guest1135744 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in COVID

    Don’t waste your time or energy stewing over this situation. It’s only going to distract you and undermine your unit. You need to mind your own house and not what other people are doing. You don’t know what anyone’s personal situation is so you canno...

11. Please help. Aspen RN-BSN or Galen School of nursing

    guest1135744 replied to guest1135744's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks for your comments. I can write and write well. I do not want a program that sucks the life out of me with papers due constantly. I need a more balanced curriculum of 50% research papers. Capella did not work for me as I’ve written above which ...

12. Please help. Aspen RN-BSN or Galen School of nursing

    guest1135744 posted a topic in Online Learning

    Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me. I’ve been trying to complete an RN-BSN program for over 10 years, but I can’t seem to follow through. This will be my third attempt. I started a state school completion program, but I was unable to successfully ...

13. When you hear the word "nurse," do you think male or female?

    guest1135744 replied to OldDude's topic in Men

    I love this article. Having attended nursing school back in the 90s there were several guys in my small evening/weekend program. I grew up in an environment that it was, somehow, drilled into my subconscious that girls are nurses and men are doctors...

14. Contested a Doctor's Order Psych ?

    guest1135744 replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    I’m very concerned about the fact that you’re blowing off ibuprofen and Tylenol. Please do some research. Ibuprofen and Tylenol, taken together, has been proven to offer as much pain relief as narcotics and since we have a bond fid opioid crisis, we ...

15. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    guest1135744 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in COVID

    I very much appreciate and respect your post. As a manager I’m sure you’re doing what you can. Unfortunately, I think you know, helping/supporting and actually performing the duties of a nurse are two different things. The responsibility always stops...
