    Getting unemployment for called off

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is in some places they are running out of PTO or they are using the PTO and then not having time for planned vacations. So PTO isn't the

    NY post slams NPs

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ryguyRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Nobody said they were the same. But...what makes doctors the only ones able to provide care? Because that's what we have been used to for many years? Not a good enough reason. We have no proof...

    Getting unemployment for called off

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's great PA recognizes that a life changing event (birth, illness of a child) and requesting your employer to change your hours a little and their refusal means you get some help. There are...

    Getting unemployment for called off

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I had a life changing event and those hours didn't work for me. I tried to get my employer to work with me but they demanded I work the hours they wanted. There may be many who wanted me...

    CNS V. NP

    IrishIzCPNP replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly, the CNS seems to be fading. I would stick with an NP. NP isn't the degree the MSN or DNP you obtain with it ha and the NP a certification. Adult ICU? I would look at adult/geri

    Getting unemployment for called off

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    100% certain it was unemployment. I was not able to get short term disability because the state doesn't allow it. I received unemployment. My sister lived in NY and she was able to collect...

    Getting unemployment for called off

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    In PA they allow for a significant change of life issue and having a baby is one. I also had another issue pop up but the baby alone counts. I requested reduced hours several times and my NM refused...

    Getting unemployment for called off

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it may be possible but not likely. I'm in PA. I was able to get unemployment when I left my position after having a baby. It was a change in life circumstances and I asked for reduced hours...

    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Also remember...just because you do something in your facility doesn't mean it is within you scope according to the BON. You need to know what the BON says because if your facility isn't following...

    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is first up to the BON what an LPN can do. The facility can limit it more if they want. If you spend the time to look at the practice acts at the BON many end up surprised at the limitations that...

    why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So much of that stuff is true for many nurses. Do students know this? Not all. My husband decided to go for his RN. He came home one day (and has since said it many times) that he had no idea the...

    Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    This is hysterical. This is what is amazing about nursing...so much for everyone. I only ever wanted L&D or peds. If you put me in the OR or geriatrics...no. I would quit and join you at...

    Otoscopes

    My program required that we buy one. That being said...there were no requirements on what we bought. We just had to have on for the assessment class. We had to have oto and

    Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the exact opposite. I wanted nothing but OB or peds. I worked L&D for many years and now moving to peds. I avoided working anything

    Is this an automatic denial?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to nexus13123's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You are guilty. You made it very clear what your intentions were in your original post. A court does f need to say you are guilty for you to be truly guilty. You say you were weak...don't care....

    RRT on DNR

    IrishIzCPNP replied to bxh5164's topic in Medical-Surgical

    So you knew she was a DNR but called RRT anyway? What did you want them to do? You didn't know anything about her but you knew she was DNR...then again so did the nurse who was assigned to her who...

    LPN with more cert.

    IrishIzCPNP replied to futurenurse225's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Around here LPNs aren't in demand. The hospital I used to work at has almost no LPNs left in the hospital. There are areas where being an LPN does not have many employment
