Peachpit

I currently work a M-F position in an occupational health clinic. The job is 20 min. from my home, clinic hours are 7:30 a-4:30p, benefits, because of company size, are high priced insurance and 5 hours of PTO a YEAR. I work alone in a small, cement...

I accepted a weekend on call position a few months ago. The position was to be Sat/Sun only and the offer letter stated "weekend on call" but no specific hours. I confirmed with HR and the Administrator it was Sat/Sun only (48 hrs total). ...

I would request an in person meeting with the family, yourself and you clinical manager or whoever you report to so there can be a discussion/rediscussion of expectations from both sides. Your manager should've already stepped in and spoken to the fa...

Both my undergrad and grad degree are from Brenau. Loved the school and the program, hated the cost!

I don't know specfics but I can tell you Athens Tech has an excellent reputation and I have worked with nurses who have graduated from there who seemed well educated and experienced.

Fraud to leave a job off a resume? What states would that be...?

Most travel agencies require recent (with in a year) experience. If you are wanting to travel I would suggest applying for PRN jobs close to you. That would satisfy the travel requirement and also get you back into the swing of things. Doesn't sound ...

I would focus on school and kids and only school and kids if I were in your place. You are thinking WAY too far ahead and creating anxiety that doesn't need to be. You have several more years to go before graduation. A LOT can change for you personal...

I went back and asked for an updated compenstation and schedule in writing as well as mileage clarification, the nursing bag, badge and car stock that I should have in addition to the forms for revocations/deaths/admissions as suggested. I have ...

If they are documenting assessments done and haven't actually done the assessment then its not a trend, it's fraud and that needs to be addressed with the nursing leadership at the facility.

There is no harm is talking to your manager about going back. At least you would know, definitely, if going back to Onc would be an option. The manager may say no then you can decide how to move on from there or if the manager agrees then you can dec...

Only in California...

I know this post is old but I will throw my 2 cents in..I accepted an on call weekend position a few months ago. 5pm Fri to 8 am Monday, census averages 20 patients. There is an answering service but no triage so all calls fall to me. There is ...

No, not abandonment. What your supervisor is doing is trying to cover as much of the schedule as she can and using "soft guilt" (repeatedly asking you to do PRN) to string out your time because its easier for her to keep visits covered. You gave her ...

I know this thread is old but I am wondering what the OP decided to do? I moved into a weekend on call position a few months ago instead of moving back into the hospital setting. And I regret it. While the position is not physically or tec...

Most hospices, at least in the area I work, either don't have Admission Nurses per se or the Admission Nurses have worked in hospice for several years. Whatever hospice you apply to ask if they have a dedicated on call team, a lot of the larger...

You are not alone, have had this happen to me as have many others on this site. Move on and count your blessings you don't work for a company that plays these types of games. Interviewing for jobs goes both ways though HR seems to forget that.

First, do not let one nasty person color your whole view of yourself - especially a virtually stranger that at the end of your life you won't remember their name (I know, easier said than done). You have what sounds like two things going on here...

I've done both and I have a BSN and an MS in healthcare tho' not nursing per se. I never felt downgraded moving from leadership roles to non leadership roles. Sometime I made more in leadership roles, some times less than "regular" staff but my...

Go for it! The biggest change for you would be working 5 days/week plus drive time vs. the 3 12's and working day time hours vs nights. You will most likely be around management a lot more too working days. Management, unless really abusive/intolerab...

The best option is to contact the hiring manager & have an open & honest conversation about the situation. I would NOT tell him/her you knew at the interview you were pregnant, I would simply say shortly after interviewing/accepting the posi...

I don't work in the OR but I was, until this past week, working a M-F position that I knew fairly early on was not a good fit for a variety of reasons. I felt a guilty leaving so soon after starting and after some people around me would make comment...

Have you not contacted the BON for the state in which you are wanting to apply? They normally have all the information on their web site or you can call them....

Find another job asap. This Administrator is Trouble with a capital T. Anyone can report a nurse to the BON - doesn't mean the report has merit or will go anywhere but just to work under the constant threat of that..no way..there are WAY too ma...

My clinicals were at Grady, I've worked for Piedmont. Hands down I would go for Grady for what you are hoping to obtain. If I lived within a reasonable driving distance I would 100% work there now. It is unique for many, many reasons. My only a...
