Thanks for the replies. I ended up not filing it yet. I just sucked it up and requested my next pto for the fall.
then she took me off my scheduled weekends again. For every single weekend for 2...
Hi
I put in a request for PTO for April back in September (as it is outlined dates to do so in our union contract). And I mistakingly thought I was approved it. The manager has 25 days to approve...
I fully intended to go to a brick and mortar hybrid program in my state, but I am moving in about 1.5-2 years. The programs in my state don't allow students from the state I want to move to. I already...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I wanted some sassy comment to "tell her" if she ever asked me again, but you all are right. Not worth my time thinking about this anymore and I am on her radar...
Hi
About a month ago my manager called me to ask me to come in bc the unit needed help. I didn't answer /wasn't by my phone. The ANM called me a half hour later and I did answer and told her I...

Thanks, quick question, is it valuable to take the medsurg cert while I plan to leave ms? Would I get asked "why did you take it now when you're applying to x unit?”
Honestly though, I haven't...

Thank you so much for your advice. I sheepishly admit I relied on my 6 years experience for someone to want to hire me and did not have a cover letter either. (Also I did read not to do cover letters...

I regret not being involved now. Thanks for explaining to me what you look for. I can't go back....is there anything I can do for my resume now? I was involved in one committee (infection control)...

Oh. No.
so the only thing I've got is ACLS/PALS. (And tele cert but that seems like it goes by hospital)
but I have a good reason why nothing else I thought. Because I work when the floor...
I've been a nurse for 6 years in medsurg/tele (and 1 first year in peds).

So there are pros and cons to the union. I am actually a part of a team that floats to other hospitals in our system, which are non union. My "home" hospital is union though. The nurses are pretty...

I'm a nurse. Not a tech. I had been a tech when the union was voted against in the past, I wanted to see why not do it again with new nurses at the hospital now. Clearly, I know it's a bad idea, I was...
