  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...

  2. When will my PA license officially be compact?

    guest1135744 replied to pamalamadingdong's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    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

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

    guest1135744 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    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

  4. Age Discrimination in Nursing

    guest1135744 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    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

  5. Penn Medicine Operating room

    guest1135744 replied to guest1135744's topic in Operating Room

  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

  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...

  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 Disaster Preparation

    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...

  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 Disaster Preparation

    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...

    guest1135744 posted a topic in Online Distance 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...

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

    guest1135744 replied to guest1135744's topic in Online Distance 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....

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

    guest1135744 replied to OldDude's topic in Men in Nursing

    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...

  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...

  15. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    guest1135744 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

  16. Forced PPL

    guest1135744 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is anyone else being forced to deplete their PPL bank by their hospital system? This bank of PPL s both vacation time and sick time. After it’s depleted we are to take no pay days. My unit is...

  17. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    guest1135744 replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    So, first off, take a deep breath. You’re not the first nurse to make a mistake. I think you should request a few days off to really think things through here. My first question for you is what...

  18. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    guest1135744 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    100% agree with this. Never before have we been included in any discounts. This is a first. There still is no hazard pay for nurses while cops, EMTs, etc are receiving hazard

  21. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    guest1135744 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because all management has on their radar is their bonuses. That is all. I’ve seen them just being human but frankly, chopping at the bit to keep staff from getting overtime, keeping people from...

  22. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    guest1135744 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for your military service. I just want to chime in. I have 20 plus years of nursing under my belt. If I could go back and smack some sense into myself the day I decided to be a nurse I...
