  1. Nurses not speaking english at work

    rn4ever? replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

    A person may be speaking a language other than English and she can be a US Citizen too. Also, if you’re not qualified for the position you applied for, then why will the employer hire you? You may...

    rn4ever? replied to Dixiecup's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Where I work, we would still sign off that

  3. Do you include co-workers' names when charting? How do you chart?

    rn4ever? replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

  4. Is med-surg really the best place to start as a new grad?

    rn4ever? replied to Valerie916's topic in General Nursing

  6. recent New Grad-- which job to take???

    rn4ever? replied to krstxn's topic in General Nursing

    I'll go for job offer # 2. Driving 60 miles (thrice weekly for a 36 hour shift; and five times weekly for a 40 hour shift) will drain you out and tire you fast. I would need to really love job...

  7. Is the hiring freeze/retrogression of foreign RNs over?

    rn4ever? posted a topic in International Nursing

  8. Is it true LPN's are being phased out?

    rn4ever? replied to mew718's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. Should I tell the hiring manager??

    rn4ever? replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that the interview is the best time to mention that to her. Wait until you are officially employed in that

  10. Nursing mgrs who interview floor nurses - which candidate is more desirable?

    rn4ever? replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    rn4ever? replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

  12. PRN or Part Time? Please Advise

    rn4ever? replied to walktheline's topic in General Nursing

    Spring chicken or not, don't go without insurance. Even if you're super healthy, what if an accident happens? You mentioned that you have adult bills and responsibilities right? So you'd definitely...

  13. Is it ok to give gift to the manager

    rn4ever? replied to newsupernurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's okay to give a gift when there's an occasion. Don't mind what other co-workers would say about you giving a gift to your manager-----but also don't show them and let them know either that you...

  14. Telling management about interview for new job...

    rn4ever? replied to PICU_RN_WannaB's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your shoes, I'd wait until they give me the formal job offer and have accepted it. Then I'll give two weeks' notice (or whatever amount of time is required by the facility as per...

    rn4ever? replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    rn4ever? replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don’t routinely identify myself as an RN. But if an emergency arises, they need help, and I could help, then I would help. I’m a Psych RN though-----so if someone needs to be de-escalated,...

  21. RN's barking unsafe orders at me

    rn4ever? replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    rn4ever? replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing
