  1. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

  3. False statement for terminating employment

    PediRN replied to sandfla's topic in General Nursing

    Call the hospital and ask them what their policy is for appealing a termination. If you belong to a union they can help you with this, otherwise call HR direct. Then DO IT in a timely fashion...

    PediRN replied to PediRN's topic in Nurse Management

  8. New nurse in need of experinced advice

    PediRN replied to 1styearsucks's topic in Nurse Management

    I agree with the above poster. If you present the termination as a learning experience and you don't badmouth your previous employer, that goes a long way. You can also just say that it didn't work...

    PediRN replied to aloevera's topic in General Nursing

    Simmer down kids. This is the age old nursing debate...i.e. "Nobody else works as hard as I do". I realize that the OP was put in a dangerous position, there is no denying that. From my own...

    PediRN replied to FlyingScot's topic in Nurse Management

  18. 4 mos. Pregnant & starting new RN job; Employer doesn't know yet; Will I be fired?

    PediRN replied to Nrs_angie's topic in General Nursing

    this question has come up before. All I have to say is, once nursing management starts discriminating against pregnant employees, they're going to be in a world of trouble, being that the profession...

  23. Snow emergency excuse?

    PediRN replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    I manage a unit in the northeast and do not accept snow as an excuse to call out sick. With current technology, we know at least three days in advance that there's a snowstorm coming. Gives you plenty...

  24. Do you get "pain med seekers" in hospice?

    PediRN replied to JacelRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I had a CF patient once...he was 17 years old and couldn't have weighed much more than 75 lbs. The day before his death, he finally consented to a MS drip to control his pain. We started him at 6...
