  2. Reasonable time frame for raise???

    jojotoo replied to sun_chica's topic in General Nursing

  3. What do you think about this situation?

    jojotoo replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    This sounded genuine to me. Have you been in touch with that manager since you left the job? Do you have her email? If not, I think that it would be fine to call her now, just for a little "chat"...

  6. Need advice from experienced nurses...

    jojotoo replied to ChocoholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    jojotoo replied to luvbug9956's topic in General Nursing

  8. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    jojotoo replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

  12. Need y'all's opinion please

    jojotoo replied to EmmaG's topic in General Nursing

    NO! NO! NO! Do NOT become involved in the internal politics of this hospital. You will only put yourself in jeopardy for future assignments with your company AND you may put that company at risk...

  13. Needlestick from a HIV+ Patient.....I am so upset :(

    jojotoo replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Even though your chances of getting HIV from this needlestick are low, you should still report it. That way employee health can follow up with you for the next 6 - 12 (?) months for lab draws. I...

  17. Emergency Room Charge Nurse

    jojotoo replied to Fiesta Red's topic in Emergency

    jojotoo replied to jennh1982's topic in General Nursing

    jojotoo replied to willdgate's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    jojotoo replied to fat cat's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't expect a pregnant nurse to take care of somebody with chickenpox or measles, or for a Jehovah Witness nurse to initiate/ monitor a blood transfusion. So making accomendations for...
