  1. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was called today by HR. She asked me about my last job and who my supervisor was. I told her the ex boss' name, but said to not call her, but to call another person. She said she would, then turned...

  2. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup! She sure did! And yes, she was (is) a piece of work.... I am glad to be out of that job, I just wish I could have left before she nailed

  3. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in General Nursing

    New job is calling her for a reference tomorrow. I hope she doesn't screw it up for me. Annnd.... my friend was approached today about being booted to the floor, and apparently she was given an...

  4. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I was told to resign yesterday. AFTER our follow up survey from State. I have had NO marks on my record, attendance was fine, but she said I "wasn't cut out for management". She told me she...

  5. Demotion from DON, self report to BON

    PastoralCareRN replied to MB,RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I was also asked to resign (or face a mark on my record) after a bad survey. I had never been a DON, had one week "training" and was there almost two months when State walked in. We suffered through...

  6. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heard it from the boss. It's a very toxic environment, to say the least... For all of us. The boss has "issues" which make the mood swings almost unbearable at times.... One day is all peaches and...

  8. Directors--what do you wear?

    PastoralCareRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I will be starting as a DON next week, and I think I will wear business casual, with a lab coat. Mainly because I have 1/2 sleeves (tattoos) and if I am NOT wearing long sleeves otherwise, I will keep...

  9. Anyone else a Biker Nurse? ;)

    PastoralCareRN replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I ride a 1300 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe or a 750 Honda Shadow Aero. Been riding 30+ years. Just started a new job about 40 minutes away. Hoping I don't get fussed at when I decide to ride to...

  11. Tell me about the Liasons where you work.....

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I do not understand it either... especially when they can just get into the charts and go above the RN to get

  12. Tell me about the Liasons where you work.....

    PastoralCareRN posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Our liasons are given pretty much reign to promise whatever they want, to say what they want, to do what they want with no recourse. I find this a bit disturbing, to say the least. Do your liasons...

  15. Annual Physical - Does Your Job Require This?

    PastoralCareRN replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Nursing

    While I've not had to have an annual "Physical" per say, I did have to do a screening for insurance purposes which required my weight and the like, but never pregnancy info, or latest female exam......

  16. Who continued to work?

    PastoralCareRN replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have to work. I have a house to pay for and student loans... I depend on myself to get by. When I need to take time, I am saving all of my PTO hours to do just that... use for school. I can do...

  17. On call nurse recommending treatment

    PastoralCareRN replied to JaneGilletteRogers's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The on call nurse is my friend, and I trust her judgement to make that call. But by the same token, she would always confer with me before putting anything in the chart. I understand about the...

  18. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    PastoralCareRN replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    I had 1 semester left to obtain my BSN when I failed. I failed because my Mom had been diagnosed with cancer, and I was taking a three hour (one way) trip to be with her each Wednesday night and...

  20. Tell me about the Liasons where you work.....

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That is what ours are supposed to do too... but this one digs in charts if she doesn't agree with what I have to say and calls the clinical director or executive director and they pull ideas (most of...

  22. Tell me about the Liasons where you work.....

    That's exactly what I'm saying. She wanted this certain person to be put on our service after I had eval'd and sent the info to our office. She was looking for more information because the eval done...

  24. To tell or not to tell!

    PastoralCareRN replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What I would do in your situation is YOU do what's right and keep your mouth shut. With any luck, your co workers will see your correct ways and follow suit. CYA... take care of yourself and as long...

  25. On call?

    PastoralCareRN replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    We are "supposed" to have a dedicated on call staff...we have a LPN who is primary on call Mon- Thurs and a RN Fri- Sun. There is always a 2nd on call CM to help. With cases like this weekend for us,...
