  1. I am an RN with a bachelor's in Health Science and Anthropology. I want to get an MSN in leadership. My degree transcript when I compare it to a BSN is about 90% the same but all online schools that I found will only honor my ASN classes. Does anyone know a school that will Grandfather my health science classes like hospital management and program planning and epidemiology and other related classe?

    I think my issue is they should have set that at the interview instead of after I got hired and 4 months into working with them. At least I could have made an informed choice.

    Over the past year I have been working in a Trauma 1 center. My background is Trauma ICU, paramedics and have several certifications. When I interviewed for the job I made it clear I wanted to advance my career in Trauma. I had already been part of a code team, and helped stabilize Trauma ICU patients. I have seen gunshot wounds, amputation and worse. I figured going head on in an Trauma 1 ER would be a challenge and in a lot of ways it is. However despite my experience they recently told me "I may never work the Trauma bays". That was the exact quote from a manager. Instead I am to work patients that are not critical in any way. So basically the job I got was a Tele nurse on steroids. I don't mind doing those patients but what bothers me is there is only a small handful of nurses who are allowed in the trauma bays. I just spoke with a coworker who has 24 years as a nurse with half in a Trauma 1 center before this place and they are leaving because they believe the reason we can't get into the Trauma bays is because a handful of nurses will quit if they are not allowed in. Many people see it this way. I guess my question is, is this ethical? What can be done? I spoke with management and I already got an answer to it which was "I may never see the Trauma bays". I was also told that there is some evidence based article that supports their thinking. If anyone can shed light on this I would appreciate it.
  4. NedRn I did reach compliance. What can I do?
  5. Thank you so much for the advice. If you are recruiter let me know. Be it as is I think I'm stuck in this situation. I signed a contract so I think I have a job I just don't know if I can be away from my family and relying on this person to be my contact if something happens.
  6. 3 weeks ago I decided to take the plunge in travel nursing. I looked around and applied through indeed and got many responses from recruiters. However, I felt like I was lost so I reached out to a nurse friend and she referred me to her recruiter. At first it felt like the perfect relationship. She understood I was totally new to Travel and she made me feel safe. I told her I was looking to start a job as soon as 2 to 3 weeks out because money was tight. She said she would do her best. I was really stressed because my family was going through some huge financial issues and still are. However I did what I was asked by this recruiter and gave her time to find something and I informed her I would take any shift in my specialty and did not matter if it was day or night. A week into this she was able to narrow down 2 places open to working with me and I chose one in another state. I had my references give me a golden review and even one of the recruiters nurse who I never met offered to put in a good word....I got an offer! So far everything has been great. The recruiter was able to make me feel at ease in a very stressful time. Now, the start date was the 20th and I was hoping to start a week earlier but there was no guarantee. I had a mission to get 100% compliant from the list of items sent by the vendor. I am really organized and got everything done by as soon at all the requirements were sent to me which happened on a Wed and I had my end 100% done by the following Monday. I kept my recruiter in the loop on email and text so she knew. I was determined to start the 13th but knew I had to stay flexible. At no time was there a change in plan by my recruiter which again was to get done early and see if could start a week early. Red Flag 1 During compliance I asked my recruiter a question about getting paid during compliance for classes and tests and orientation. She told me that never happens. I responded with other contracts companies have with me in the past. She went on to tell me that I was not going to see any money for my time and that she was going to fight for getting me part of some paid money for my orientation. I was very worried about my financial situation. When I responded with "OMG" over the conversation the recruiter called me on the phone and began to come down on me for that word and told me how something personal in her life triggers her. She kept going on for about 5 min about it and I just listened and reminded her she wad doing a great job but I walks away from that call feeling really funky about how she handled it. I was actually pretty rattled. As it stood I finished my compliance and moved on. I was now awaiting my start date or so I thought. I asked my recruiter on Monday about a start date and she said she was working on that with the compliance staffer. Red Flag 2 When this interaction happened she told me not to ask the compliance staffer about when I am starting. I just had to be ready. Could be this week or next and my son and wife just had to go with the flow. I'm not sure how anyone else parents but me making my kids and wife feel safe when I'm about to be gone for 13 weeks especially when they are asking and are scared is a priority..but I let it go. Red Flag 3 Today I got an email from the compliance staffer. It was once sentence that said my document for my vaccines had my name wrong and I had to fix it. I replied with asking her how and if she knew if I should leave this weekend to get situated or wait. That was all. At this point I am calling the lab and calling the place where I got the tests done and they are all telling me they can't do anything about it. There was a protocol that I had to wait 24 hours to get a response from the recruiter and I was also told that my orders would come on a Friday..well tomorrow is Friday so I am worried so I called. I got a hold of her and told her I am doing my best. Later I get an email from my recruiter now asking me for 7 years of work history which confused me because I listed 3 years per her request a week ago. Now it had changed. Despite my best efforts I asked a question via text message which was "if they are now asking for this do I actually have the job?" Needless to say that did not fly with my recruiter because she responded with "I'm not even going to entertain this question". Followed by a call where she berated me in front of my wife on speaker. In this conversation she told me that she said the compliance staff is asking if I am even a good idea and if I continue asking questions that she herself may just drop me and not work with me. I just kept my mouth shut. No emotion. I just said OK but now the relationship was destroyed. I started thinking even if this job is secure how can I come to her with any question if this is how she treated me. My wife who has been with me in nearly every interaction asked me hard questions. Did I say anything or text her anything for her to shift in the course of 3 days. To my wife's good nature she tests me. She won't let me take ownership of being a victim unless it's merited. I read through every text I had with both staffers. She wad at a loss for words and told me that this is crazy. How can I know your safe up there if this is how this company treats you. You are simply asking a few questions not being pushy acting in good faith to all direction and then your told that asking anything is causing problems and that you just need to let it happen. I need advice fast. I feel horrible. I have lost trust in this company and my recruiter. I am afraid to go now because the relationship is like this. Please help
