  1. Rejected after retirement!

    glasgow3 replied to Stareyes4's topic in Retired Nurses

    I've heard of the requirement (one year away from the bedside eliminates consideration for a travel contract.) In fact, I've heard that a year away from the hospital bedside is a deal breaker for ANY...

  2. War on Nurses

    glasgow3 replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but hospital leadership doesn't really want to retain experienced, frontline nurses. They have a kind of "wish list" much like you'd see in an online dating profile...

  3. Am I crazy or too old for considering this??

    glasgow3 replied to Seaturtle01's topic in General Nursing

    "......I don't want to be put into a situation where I am overworked and burned out within a couple of months either." I think that sufficient credible information is available (both here and...

  4. Am I crazy or too old for considering this??

    glasgow3 replied to Seaturtle01's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you JBM for the thoughtful and kind response to my post. But for the record, I am quite familiar with the predominant EMR systems (and others) in this area including Epic, Cerner and Meditech....

  5. Am I crazy or too old for considering this??

    glasgow3 replied to Seaturtle01's topic in General Nursing

    Do I think you're crazy or too old? Nope. I myself considered a return to acute care nursing in response to the near nonstop media articles/stories that the beds were filled to overflowing, the nurses...

  6. Being replaced?

    glasgow3 replied to BsnBull's topic in General Nursing

    "Did you ever get to look the Director in the eyes after that? Lies like that deserve to be confronted.." Oh sure. The day we were informed, HR representatives, Nursing Administation members etc....

  7. Being replaced?

    glasgow3 replied to BsnBull's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts? LOL Reminds me of the time when an agency nurse shared during shift report that her agency couldn't extend her contract because the unit was closing. Like the OP, I asked the...

  8. Nurse murdered patients with air in arterial lines?

    glasgow3 replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    "This 'hospital' allowed the nurse to work after the first 3 deaths, what the heck made them investigate and fire the nurse after the 4th?" A bad Press-Ganey

  9. Short Staffed: An Epidemic

    glasgow3 replied to KellyM RN's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of steaks involved? emmmmmmmm sounds

  10. Short Staffed: An Epidemic

    glasgow3 replied to KellyM RN's topic in General Nursing

    Mandatory minimum staffing ratios with significant financial penalties for failing to adhere to those ratios at all times.....this is the ONLY answer. Anything short of that is a waste of everyone's...

  11. New ADON Job Concerns

    glasgow3 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    In a perfect world employers would be fully transparent and explicit with regards to the expectations for a given position; Unfortunately, that is often not the case in the Long Term Care industry....

  12. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    glasgow3 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Intraosseous (IO) Line/Access /Insertion What you'd do in an emergency if you couldn't get an IV in--------as opposed to trying to trying multiple IV starts when the patient has "no"

  13. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    glasgow3 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe what I'm reading here. Seriously, I just can't. All I can say is if this scenario ever "played out" at any school or facility that I've ever heard of, both the OP and the other...

  14. Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?

    glasgow3 replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

    As several posters have already mentioned, California overtime laws are a different "animal" entirely; Fortunately for you, the differences between California regulations and other states' favors the...

  15. Betrayed by Management

    glasgow3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    My take as an old AF nurse who has experienced a similar situation (or two or three) and has observed several like situations in the course of a very long career? OK then. The Nurse Management...

  16. Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    glasgow3 replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just curious: Does this new policy include all of your Nursing Leadership including your Chief Nursing

  17. Full time jobs hard to find ?

    glasgow3 replied to Anotherdegree4me's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to agree with those respondents who feel that you could handle a full time nursing position as an age 50 plus new grad.......but that's not really what you asked. I entered nursing 30...

  18. Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    glasgow3 replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course this is all about massive transfers of wealth to the oligarchs. Do think that all of the world's developed nations (save Sweden) immediately decided to take the unprecedented action of...

  19. Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    glasgow3 replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's difficult to determine whether or not this nurse should have been tested on a timely basis without the relevant assessment information. At present this thread contains six pages of posts; I've...

    Well, maybe for vampire

  21. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    glasgow3 replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    But, but, but how could that possibly be true? For years I've been hearing from those same folks that BSN preparation should be the minimum for entry into professional nursing practice. Where else...

  22. Medication administration confusion???

    glasgow3 replied to Mike DBD's topic in General Nursing

    There is an excellent article which I "googled up" entitled "Understanding the Basics of Medication Administration" by Nancy Brent, MS, JD, RN. Despite the rather broad subject matter implied by the...

  23. Resigning: Counter Offer Advice?

    glasgow3 replied to RG-RN2014's topic in General Nursing

    I would encourage the OP to research/Google up "counter-offer". I believe the recommended course of action in cases such as yours will be quite

  24. Ask a question till reporting nurse can't answer one

    glasgow3 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a new grad ICU nurse who worked the night shift I was initially thrown into an internal panic when asked by the oncoming nurse, "...And was that a LEFT subclavian or a RIGHT subclavian?" But it...

  25. Dwindling faith in this profession

    glasgow3 replied to mclennan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "While only having a bachelors (or less)" I believe that you are referring to those who have earned a "bachelor's degree" (or less); Ordinarily, I would not point out the lack of an apostrophe,...
