Oh my, I'm a supervisor in acute care and my base pay is $42/hr. Tell me where you're working :)

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 (whatever the policy states). What will probably happen is...

Any other nursing supervisors/bed managers of acute care hospitals out there? I'd like to network a little and get some feedback on a couple of things... I am a nursing supervisor at a 300 bed acute care hospital. I work 7p-7a. I am responsible for s...

For that type of job I would definitely go for your MHA. You might also want to consider a combined degree (MSN/MHA, MSN/MBA).

That's basically exactly what I do. A few questions.... Who monitors restraint use? Is it done unit by unit or do you take part in that? What is your pay (feel free to pm me if you don't want to post it....then again, if I'm being too nosy, don't wor...

Ridiculous. If I were you I'd take my experience and certifications elsewhere. Sounds like a no-win for you. EVERYONE needs experienced L&D nurses.

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 out, it was a poor fit, you realized it wasn't for y...

It is a really interesting job, never the same night, lots of interaction with lots of different people. I was a nurse manager for about 6 years before this job became available (at a different hospital). I have a BSN. I had about 6 weeks of precept...

The only fair policy in this instance is zero tolerance. Fire a few people and the dye will be cast.

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 experience, I have often found that when staffing is bad, it...

If YOU had a poop explosion I'd definitely help out....and fetch ya a pair of scrubs too.

Thank you. I supervise a 220 bed acute care hospital and my duties include bed management from the ED, PACU, and direct admits into and through the hospital; verifying that patients are where they are supposed to be based on their acuity, dealing wit...

Many nurses I know, psych or otherwise, have mental health issues. We are a very high risk field to be in.

God, that sounds like a horrific situation....I'm surprised you've lasted this long!! Absolutely file a grievance...just make sure you have dates and facts to back your claims. Look at it as a trial with her as the defendant. When I was still a unit...

night house supervisor in CT. with night diff, $60/hour.

I had one pt with ctcl...horrible disease. he was treated at yale with reasonably decent results. tell your friend to enroll in clinical trials, probably her best bet.

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 is still >90% women and we're trying to recruit ...

Hokey, dokey. Nursing supervisor here (don't hate me on that basis alone). A few things to mention, and I may jump around, so bear with me. 1. If someone calls in sick, I give them the benefit of the doubt, and tons of sympathy. If they're truly sick...

fx my distal radius last monday. had closed reduction and internal & external fixation done on friday. unbelievable pain, 10/10 most of the week. After ambulatory surgery was given dilaudid for pain. 4 mg q4h wasn't touching pain so I went to the...

tripped over baby barrier. my husband asked if he should adult proof the house. I shot him

Thanks everyone for your kind words. The pain is much improved. I saw my surgeon today and told him very kindly that he was not at all helpful Friday evening in the ER. He was appropriately contrite. Anyone else have any input? I would greatly apprec...

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 of time to plan to come in early or stay with a c...

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 mg/hr. We titrated that drip all the way up to 300 mg/...

All they want is your money. You have to check a box that you took infection control, but they don't require any proof of that.
