  1. What to do about pay?

    rn4ever? replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the OP wants to really leave the job because she is unhappy with her work place in general. Money is important because it pays the bills. But in these tough economic times, I think that...

  2. importance of getting report before seeing the patient

    rn4ever? replied to Kristisnej's topic in General Nursing

    Getting report is essential for the reasons that were already mentioned here, but apart from that, let's say in the Psych unit for instance, it will give you a clear picture of what to expect, what to...

  3. Laid Off at Last Non-Nursing Job Before Became Nurse - Use Manager as Reference?

    rn4ever? replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Nursing

    Doubt means

  4. Is it ok for your work to call you after you called in sick?

    rn4ever? replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that that is a valid concern. If you were not oriented and trained to be an L&D Nurse, then you shouldn't be in that unit. Like in one place that I worked in, one of the Charge RNs...

  5. Is it ok for your work to call you after you called in sick?

    rn4ever? replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Is it ok for them to call you? I guess not because you're not too happy about it. But then, it happens-----especially when they are severely understaffed. With regards to zipping your mouth-----I...

  6. is this shady or not?

    rn4ever? replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    Sad to say but at this tough economic time, perhaps, that employer believes that this is an "employers' market". If you didn't say "yes" right away, then there was no verbal agreement right? Perhaps...

  7. working with an incompetent nurse.. need advice!

    rn4ever? replied to owenlevi2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do you personally hold a grudge against this particular nurse? Just make sure that you want to report her because you know in your heart that she did something wrong and that you are concerned about...

  8. Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    rn4ever? replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    If it's an "employment at will state", they can terminate you when they want to terminate you. But if it's really dangerous to drive or be on the roads and they cannot pick you up, remember that your...

  9. feeling guilty not going in due to snow

    rn4ever? replied to heavenlystar87's topic in General Nursing

    Your safety is also important. Also, if you're not on schedule to work today, then you're not. If they call you and you want to pick up that extra shift or help out, that's fine. If not, that...

  10. issue with leaving newborn to return to nursing school

    rn4ever? replied to marineswife0809's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you're uncomfortable doing it now, then don't do it. You will be the only one to tell when the time is

  11. Take the IV out... yourself.

    rn4ever? replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse was inappropriate. And I wonder what you'll write in the Press Ganey

  12. Is There Hope for Me? (Warning....a bit long)

    rn4ever? replied to jfosterrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned that humility goes a long way. Being confident could be a plus---but being overconfident could be dangerous---especially when you're handling lives. Also when you ask questions, make...

  13. Fired but asked to resign!

    rn4ever? replied to RNStudy's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you’re going though all these but the bottomline is: If your boss really wants to fire you, he will find a reason to do so. While I don’t really know if you have attendance issues, the point...

  14. Unprofessional "Prospective" Employers...Grrr

    rn4ever? replied to Amber Lynn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    NMs and hiring folks can really be busy people. So, I would call and just ask the status of your application. One hiring person before said she’d call me on a Monday---but she actually did call on a...

  15. How long does a Cesarean section last?

    rn4ever? posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Out of curiousity, I want to know how long does a Cesarean section performed in the US? (I mean from the time the patient is wheeled-in to the OR until she's wheeled-out). And what kind of anesthesia...

  16. If it's such a horrible job, why not quit?

    rn4ever? replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    Easier said than done. Maybe because they have to pay their

  17. Putting in your own orders

    rn4ever? replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    On my shift (days), we don’t have to put in our orders because the secretary does that. If it’s a STAT order, they even have to chase down the RN and it’s their responsibility to let the RN...

  18. Mean coworker

    rn4ever? replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    Do not give this person power over you. And you do so by being bothered by her actions. If she doesn't talk to you, don't talk to her too. If it's not a patient-related issue or if it's just a small...

  19. How long does a Cesarean section last?

    rn4ever? replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, the one that I saw, they didn’t focus much on pain management. The other one, it took hours to finish the entire procedure. Plus the surgical cut that they did I think was way too big (I’m...

  20. Struggling new grad - tell me it gets better

    rn4ever? replied to NJRNtobe's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that you’re going through a rough time. I remember when I was first orienting years ago…..one of my preceptors was so rude to me and told me that if she didn’t do that I...

  21. Would you switch to nights for alot more money?

    rn4ever? replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    No. There are many things money can't buy I

  22. Laid off RNs?

    rn4ever? posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone! I always see articles saying that an RN job is recession-proof at these tough economic times. I was just curious, are there any RNs here who have actually experienced being laid off...

  23. Do you think this is fair compensation for orientation?

    rn4ever? replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    $30 for 6 hours of work is not only wrong and unfair---it is illegal! That's not even the minimum wage in your area! I know that it's tough to find a job nowadays. But if they did something as...

  24. Reference from current manager..what to do??

    rn4ever? replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I think her track record is a proof that she will not call and will not be a good reference for another employer. And you said it too, you lost jobs because of that attitude of hers. If she did that...

  25. Administration taking away baylor shift

    rn4ever? replied to sammyboy's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry this is happening to you right now. But with the way the economy is, these types of things are happening frequently nowadays. In the place where I work at, those who were "grandfathered"...
