   luv2dive posted a topic in Case Management

   Hi everyone, I was finally granted a 'robotic' telephone interview this morning for a CM job with a major insurance company, after I applied several times and waited a couple of months for a reply. Shortly after the interview, I received a phone cal...

2. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

   luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Atomic Tom. I did tell one of the judge's assistants that my employer expected me to work during the weekend during my jury duty service and she wasn't sure whether this was legal or illegal. She only said that my employer couldn't force me ...

3. How do I become a Postpartum Nurse?

   luv2dive replied to Kara11's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi Kara, I've been a post partum nurse for the last 12 years and I love it. One way to get your foot in the door is to talk to the nurse manager of the post partum or L&D unit you're interested in working at. Many hospitals will provide on the ...

   I have to agree with you SaoirseRN....but after being a nurse for 30+ years I guess I'm used to being trampled on. :***: It's helped me to verbalize my frustrations about this here on this forum and I really do appreciate everyone's input!

   luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

   Update: One of our HR specialists left me a message today and said that I am responsible for working on weekends, but she didn't get into any specifics. Fortunately, I'm not scheduled to work at all on this weekend, and I'm going to have to speak w...

   luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

   So snuggles...is it your contention that someone who has a desk job and gets to sit for most of their day is never really doing any work??? Do you know anything about mental fatigue? For as much as I'm finding that my tour of jury duty is interestin...

7. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

   luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

   I never wanted an exemption, I've wanted to do my civic duty from the start...and besides that I'm already sworn in on a jury.

8. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

   luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks SouthernPoint! The only restrictions that the judge mentioned were not to discuss the details of the case with anyone and not to try to research anything about the case online. Nothing was mentioned about working or not working on my off day...

9. My first med error

   luv2dive replied to KkRN126's topic in Safety

   While it's never good to make a med error...it happens to the best of us ---even the most seasoned nurses! Fortunately the patient was not harmed and you can look at this as 'an opportunity for improvement'. I know that after this experience you'll...

11. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    Martyrdom seems to be the norm in nursing. Why are there so many nurses that have no self-respect??? Yes, give a little extra here and there whenever you can....but know when to set the limit!!!

12. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    As an update....we had to listen to a lot of testimony today, and I didn't have the chance to call HR and have my questions answered. I get to go in just a little later tomorrow a.m., so I'm going to call HR and fire away with all my questions. I p...

13. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    Oh...so I guess that when they're looking for someone to work seven days at your facility Bluegrass, you're always the first one to volunteer??? Please read what I posted previously about working excessive hours. In short, we all need to pitch in a...

14. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    luv2dive replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify Kooky Korky....yes, I did present my summons to my employer as soon as I got it. It was only after I appeared in court on day one and was selected to serve on a jury that I was given a hard time. Today the judge's deputy provided m...
