  2. Drug testing- An out of date practice

    Guest 1152923 replied to FightCRNADiscrimination's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Agree with this and would add that THC, being a 'fat bound' molecule, is detectable up to thirty days post-use. This means that a user (nurse), who indulges on vacation up to almost three weeks...

  3. Preceptor is a bully....

    Guest 1152923 replied to Hardhands's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in Nursing for almost 29 years and as both permanent and travel staff, have worked in many, many hospitals and work settings. I can tell you without hesitation, that sadly, there is this...

  4. Weekend Call rant

    Guest 1152923 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I just wanted to fume a bit about weekend call at my hospital as I am to the point that I am ready to look elsewhere. I feel that weekends and off hours should be reserved for true, emergency...

  5. Weekend Call rant

    Guest 1152923 replied to Guest 1152923's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you for the response. What you describe is actually the staffing model that I have seen used at other hospitals. The problem at my current hospital however, is that weekends aren't routinely...

  6. What are they teaching?

    Guest 1152923 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    I have been an RN for almost 30 years and worked in numerous states and practice settings. I, and I'm sure many other bedside nurses, have never been aided in their job duties by their knowledge of...

  7. What are they teaching?

    Guest 1152923 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    This^^^ APA-a complete waste of time for most bedside nurses not wishing to pursue further education. If only the time spent learning this nonsense was instead devoted to subjects that would actually...

  8. What are they teaching?

    Guest 1152923 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    In bedside nursing (in which the majority of graduate and resident nurses will initially work) NO ONE cares about formal care plans or APA citations. Care plans, and all of the other needless,...

  9. What are they teaching?

    Guest 1152923 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    I've maintained this same sentiment for a long, long time and strongly feel that academia is completely out of step with nursing practice and set many graduates up for failure. In acute care settings...

  10. Quality of life and part-time

    Guest 1152923 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this has probably been discussed before, but has anyone gone from full-time to part-time and then picked up a side gig at another facility. I'm strongly considering this very option and...

  11. Part-time scenario for burnout

    Guest 1152923 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been an RN for almost 29 years and am experiencing extreme burnout. Even working 3-12s (and call), I just don't think I can continue on like this until retirement age. I have been thinking of...

  12. malpractice insurance IL

    Guest 1152923 replied to Jesalyn86's topic in General Nursing

    I spent many, many years working as an RN in Illinois hospitals and always carried professional liability insurance. Yes, not carrying personal malpractice is a common suggestion among Risk...

  13. Semi-retirement plan & questions

    Guest 1152923 posted a topic in Travel

    I have been an RN, BSN (General Surgery/CVOR) for almost 29 years and am now looking toward the future and possibly, semi-retirement. I traveled as an RN in '17 and 18', then settled back into a perm...

  14. Semi-retirement plan & questions

    Guest 1152923 replied to Guest 1152923's topic in Travel

    Ned, this is perfect and confirms what I thought! Thank you so much for offering this no nonsense

  15. Semi-retirement plan & questions

    Guest 1152923 replied to Guest 1152923's topic in Travel

    Thank you Ned and this gets at my question. If I understand correctly, a traveler could work a 13 week assignment and post-contract, he/she would have COBRA coverage for 90 days if they had taken the...
