  1. Family member hurt my somewhat fragile new grad confidence

    bagladyrn replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Realize that this was likely just the family members way of asserting control of a scary situation. That shift she did so by asking for a change of staff. The next it will be something else, maybe a...

  2. Embracing Night Shift

    bagladyrn replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    33 years on nights and they'd have to pay me double to work days! Really - I turned down a contract in Hawaii because it involved working day

  3. Company lost paycheck and getting the runaround.

    bagladyrn replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Travel

    Tell your company that you want them to put a stop payment on the check and do a "wire transfer" of the amount to your checking account. This should be in the same day. I've had my company do wire...

  4. Please help, decision time - Job choice

    bagladyrn replied to Vwpenn's topic in Nursing Career

    First thing that comes to my mind is 40 miles each way x 5 days/week is 400 miles/week in gas costs and wear and tear on your car. I could see it 3 days/week but it would have to be the "dream" job...

  5. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    bagladyrn replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Canigraduate - that sauce sounds amazing! Do you share

  6. Bullying

    bagladyrn replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    No this doesn't rise to the level of lateral violence. Lateral violence is the guy who put sugar in my gas tank when a supervisor made me write him up when she caught him

  7. An Irrelevant Observation

    bagladyrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just spent the evening with my brother at the local ED. Has anyone else noticed that the later the hour, the more the crowd in the waiting room resembles "The People of

  8. Bullying

    bagladyrn replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    To loriangel- then by using your criteria the OP may have made her coworker feel bullied by reporting her. I don't see any bullying going on here. The OP upset her coworker by reporting her and the...

  9. How to overcome a phobia. HELP

    bagladyrn replied to blahzx's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you also try palpating veins on friends and family at home? That may help since it won't matter so much if you get weak and shaky - you can stop, wait for the feeling to pass and try again....

  10. Finding a job in San Diego CA

    bagladyrn replied to Boldowl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is the humor section of allnurses. You will get more responses to your question if you repost it in the general nursing section or state specific

  11. Bats close hospital

    bagladyrn replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago I worked in one of the old state hospitals - old buildings spread out over about 500 acres. The building in which I worked had a bat infestation. At night our routine was to go upstairs...

  12. Maine Travel

    bagladyrn replied to revkev007's topic in Travel

    If considering Maine in the future look for Houlton Maine. It's a critical access hospital in a small town up by the Canadian border. I found the staff very friendly and its a lovely area in the...

  13. Hard time getting a contract as a couple

    bagladyrn replied to m2736185's topic in Travel

    You may have better responses if you compromise and simply ask to have the same weekends off rather than all of the same days

  14. Regarding chronic tardiness

    bagladyrn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    If as a manager you do not address the chronic lateness issue don't you see that this feels like a slap in the face to those who make the effort to be at work on time? (tried to quote Sooner bred...

  15. Things You Need To Know To Be A Nurse...

    bagladyrn replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    If she tells you "the baby is coming" believe her! If she says "I have to go poop!" - the baby is

  16. Staff nurse wanting travel nurse

    bagladyrn replied to Smiley730's topic in Travel

    Kimistian - I'd suggest you take a look at some tax advice before arguing this point with Ned. Travel Tax is a good reference and explains it pretty clearly. If you choose to play fast and loose and...

  17. My employer denied my workers comp claim

    bagladyrn replied to mclovin's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the word the poster is looking for is "obligated" rather than "entitled". Makes more sense that

  18. Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    bagladyrn replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a man should NOT do is laugh loudly when he hears the cursing from behind the bathroom door when a female coworker doesn't see the raised seat. Remark such as "Not used to having a man around,...

  19. Night Shifter can't sleep on days off! HELP!!!

    bagladyrn replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    What I find works best for me (after 32 years on nights) is that on my days off I stay up until about 0400 am and get up at about 12 noon. That way I can still do things during normal business hours...

  20. so confused about applying for license by endorsement ..please help!!

    bagladyrn replied to CrystalCanary's topic in General Nursing

    I'd also advise you to apply for your Florida license now as they can take quite a long time to process

    bagladyrn replied to GrumpyRN's topic in General Nursing

    About 45 minutes left here on the US east coast. Happy New year to all! Oh, and Grumpy RN - could you translate that last line into

  22. L&D travel nursing info please!!!

    bagladyrn replied to AMOREHOUSE's topic in Travel

    ICUman - I'm not sure about the difference in rates as I've never looked for a contract in other specialties. Not sure about the level of needs either although I guess it could be the changes both in...

  23. L&D travel nursing info please!!!

    bagladyrn replied to AMOREHOUSE's topic in Travel

    I've traveled in OB for 18+ years now. My previous experience was in a small rural setting. I've had little difficulty in finding assignments (many of them repeats or extended) over the years. Did...

  24. Shipping your Belongings

    bagladyrn replied to cn4333's topic in Travel

    I just finished the drive from northern NV to Florida. It's really quite doable and can be enjoyable with the right mindset as well as less expense and hassle than shipping and flying, especially with...

  25. jury duty

    bagladyrn replied to n.a.williams's topic in Travel

    My agency had their legal dept. draft a letter which they will send to the court explaining the work situation. I just faxed them the notice and they took it from there. I was
