I need some input. Legal, ethical, etc... My agency has a -- subpar, mostly unknown -- documentation app employees are required to download, on their personal mobile device, preferably cell phone. HUGE PIA, #1 due to the unceasing APP and mobile...

HELP! Family going from personal caregiver to licensed -- a major transition in itself -- for severely cognitively and developmentally delayed 8 y/o, non-genetic, only affected triplet. My 6 hours of "orientation" was interesting. Client takes sever...

PREFACE: I'm confident that I'll do just fine for the 24 hours that I'm filling in for, but given that I'm not an epidemiologist or seer, I'd love any real-life advice or tips that might come in helpful. I have an unused KN95 and N95 mask (gowns and...

I'd like to apoligize for not responding to my frantic inquiry about seizures...end result, Mom had no idea that an EEG had recently been done, showing seriously mixed results. Follow up appt was quite confusing, and embarassing enough for Mom to req...

**I mean no disrespect to CMAs, and would really appreciate your input. I recently interviewed at a Peds office I worked at from mid-90s to early-00's. Many changes, but 3-4 providers + 3-4 remaining staff greeted me with big hugs and "great-to-see-y...

OP here. As I posted, more than 2 weeks ago, my suspicions were accurate. The line between healthy boundaries/guardedness and paranoia are razor thin for those of us with C/PTSD...and I have to live with it every day of my life. On a good day it can ...

And if that's your only input, you sure are nosy, offering unsolicited and unnecessary commentary...for what purpose? I'm asking you -- and your 14 "likes" -- to leave me alone. I fully understand this is a public forum and you have every right to po...

I mean no sarcasm, but is English your second language? Your post is still a bit hard to nail down. Anyway, it sounds like you've involuntarily resigned, so that's good. Have you consulted an attorney? Your (EEOC) investigator may have insinuated th...

Agreed, hence the reason I called it an issue. My BS radar is detecting some "gotta have the last word."?❤️

Come to find out, she's not. She was hired to room patients and is now "HBiC." The absence of an actual "Nurse Manager" -- with a college degree, often BSN, these days -- is the issue.

(PREFACE: Quoted stuff is nearly verbatim, other stuff, edited, but essentially what was said/meant. And I trust "CJ"...she's a bit mouthy and brusque, but pulls no punches.) CJ started: "I'm sure as soon as ["Right Hand"] heard about all the huggin'...

Thank you for your kind words of wisdom and support❤️

Are you saying that unlicensed medical staff can manage/discipline licensed employees?

Unless you have your heart set on a more traditional path, you could look into all kinds of careers. Forensics, research, education... Godspeed, I know those kinds of decisions can be mind-bending?

Generalizations and attacking one another solves nothing. Let's keep the poster in mind, eh?

Sounds like you've been around a lot of nurses, so I'm assuming you've heard the ups-downs-ins-outs, all kinds of stories and scheduling nightmares, so my first thought: it doesn't sound like your dream job? IMO And I refuse to candy-coat this...the ...

I get your frustration and anger, but... "Nothing will bring you greater peace, than minding your own business." This quote had a major impact on my life and changed the person I THOUGHT I was. Don't ever back down, just think twice, and consider the...

My suggestion: honesty. Tell like it is.

Interesting topic, but I agree! Media is not going away any time soon, so why not use it to "level the playing field" and "exploit" our trustworthyness...for how many years in a row...? Hmmm...emoji for female plumber, but no nurse. Possibility tha...

You're right, and I will. Thanks for the encouragement ?

Thank you for the excellent advice! Noted, deep-sixed.

Noted, deep-sixed.

Love the Devil's Advocate? (and suggestions)...all will be taken into deep consideration. Thanks for your frank and kind words.

Noted.

Agreed! Thanks for the input and support...much appreciated.
