  1. Disclosing Psychiatric Care on Hospital Credentialing Application?

    Peachpit replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My answer would be no. It's no more their business than if you were seeing a GYN for infertility or other doctor for a condition you are proactively managing and have been for years. If you needed...

  4. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    Peachpit replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    OP I don't know if you have found what you are looking for by now or not but I want to say this..don't stop looking because what you are looking for IS out there. I was VERY close to returning to...

  5. Total career change

    Peachpit replied to yudenisr's topic in General Nursing

    Apply to insurance companies for case management/remote/telephonic nurse positions. Amedisys Home Health and Amedisys Hospice hires CTC's (care transition coordinators) and bedside nursing is not a...

  6. Adding Robots to Help Nurses?

    Peachpit replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Trinity Health is adding "virtual nurses" to their mix. I personally would not be happy if a "virtual nurse" were caring for myself or my loved one. Trinity Health plans to institute virtual...

  7. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    Peachpit replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    Being able to separate yourself emotionally from ANY job to a point is a good thing - or for me it is as I never want a job to BE my entire reason for being, just part of it (and a small part at that)...

  9. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    Peachpit replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the best nurses I've ever worked with (or been taken care of myself as a patient) were LPN's. Hospitals are selling themselves short not hiring

  10. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    Peachpit replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    What employers (especially hospitals) seem to continue to fail to see is todays nurses want schedules that are more amenable to work/life balance and transparency is expectations of schedule on a...

  11. Nurses are the 'Canary in the Mine'

    Peachpit replied to RN WRITER NC's topic in General Nursing

    A few months ago I was offered a bedside position after several years away from a hospital setting. I thought I would be happy to get back to bedside after a hiatus from that flavor of nursing. The...

  12. Need some serious advice and help regarding HR and possibly about to be fired

    Peachpit replied to in.despair's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Take a deep breath...you sounds like you have a lot going on and sometimes the unknown (like what HR is going to require) and the waiting can be the hardest part and ramps up the anxiety etc. I...

  13. Should good health be a requirement for certain positions?

    Peachpit replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    When the nurses who are covering for her stop covering by starting calling to out and/or resign or flat out refuse by going to management...then the management will have to wake up or step up...

  15. How to handle unhealthy work environment?

    Peachpit replied to angelsigns's topic in Nursing Career

    As others have said, find another job. Your experience/skill set I'm sure is in high demand for hospital and non-hospital based jobs. You don't owe the employer anything but the time you agreed...

  16. Mental Breakdown part 2

    Peachpit replied to Izzy21's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The only failure would be to continue to punish yourself by working in a job you hate to the point it is making you ill and trying to live up to the expectations of others. THEY are not living YOUR...

  18. Requesting feedback on hospice job offer

    Peachpit replied to Peachpit's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You have only solidified what I already was thinking which was while the money/bonus was good, the overall offer/expectations are too high/not sustainable. I read reviews on some job site for...

    Peachpit replied to BrooklynRN35's topic in Medical-Surgical

  21. Correctional nurse transitioning to medsurg

    Peachpit replied to lia_bri's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Med/Surg is a new flavor of nursing for you. Don't discount the skill set you obtained and perfected in Corrections. It gave you a foundation and will come in handy in the future. Give yourself a...

  22. Notice

    Peachpit replied to Phoenix1565's topic in General Specialties

    Since you don't have another job lined up you will need this current one as a reference - even if it's just HR being contacted to validate your dates of employment - so you need to really think about...

  23. Shift Work

    Peachpit replied to Mary3010's topic in General Specialties

    NICU Guy...if I understand your post correctly you are currently working a true Baylor? Just Sat/Sun? If so, how long have you worked this schedule and do you think it's worth

  24. Tolerating Abuse from Grieving Families

    Peachpit replied to evelynkarirn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is absolutely not OK as others have pointed out already that family or patients behave in an aggressive/abusive manner. PERIOD. Most everyone has lost a loved one and yes, I know people react to...
