  1. Breaking Company Policy/Conflict of Interest

    Gingbro posted a topic in General Nursing

    Our company has a policy that relatives are not allowed to work in the same unit. We currently have a brother and sister working together and now the brother is precepting his sister. Our manager...

  2. Breaking Company Policy/Conflict of Interest

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    Most definitely. They need to speak for themselves. Should they decide to say nothing, then the case is closed. I am hoping they see the need for teamwork, which is not at the level that it should...

  3. Breaking Company Policy/Conflict of Interest

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    Each of our units has a human resources department and she informed us to see our manager, which we have to no avail. I will let those employees whose relatives were denied employment take it up with...

  4. Breaking Company Policy/Conflict of Interest

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    The attitude of the siblings aare quite arrogant. They know that they are favored and when they make remarks to that effect, it is hard to let go, espcially when they continue to rub it in. You say...

  5. Breaking Company Policy/Conflict of Interest

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that upper management is not aware that a brother is precepting his sister. As hard as it is to believe, upper management was not aware that the brother was hired when our company had...

  6. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    Gingbro replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    The words that stood out the most in your reply was TEAM WORK. I can see that you have great teamwork. Wish I could say the same for where we are at. The biggest problem is the favoritism our...

    Gingbro replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    You are so right. It helps to see the situation through the eyes of another. Thank you for your insight. As much as I enjoy this job, it is probably not in my best

  9. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    Gingbro replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    So are you saying, leave to go to a more safe working environment and allow this type of behavior to continue? As a professional, I would try to make it right not just for me but for all staff...

  10. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    Gingbro replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    If you are the nurse left alone with 24 patients and problems arise with your patients and the other nurse's, which it has, it is your license that is on the line. When we approach this nurse to talk...

  11. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    Gingbro replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    We have a similar situation at work. In our unit, we have two nurses whom each have 12 patients and 3 techs. A nurse consistently leaves to pick up her kids, then comes back an hour later leaving the...

  12. Characteristics of an Oncology Nurse

    Gingbro replied to pRNss808's topic in Oncology

    I have always had a passion for Oncology. When I graduated, I was not able to obtain a position in oncology. I took a position in dialysis because I saw the similarities. Both deal with terminal...

    Gingbro replied to hodgpodge's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    In retrospect, a new company is taking over and they may not allow you to rollover your PTO because that means that they will be paying to you. You may want to consider using your vacation or selling...

    Gingbro replied to hodgpodge's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I am not sure what you mean by personal time acquired. Are you referring to vacation time or length of time you have been with the

  16. Fresenius medical care...taking over dialysis unit HELP!

    Gingbro replied to hodgpodge's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    This is my personal opinion. Being that you are only 6 classes short, I do not see how they would choose a tech over a soon to be RN. You are trained and performing much like an RN. Are there any...

  17. Fresenius medical care...taking over dialysis unit HELP!

    Gingbro replied to hodgpodge's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I do not know how it is there but I do know LPNs who are working for Fresenius. You have experience and I do not see how they would let you and then go through the trouble of retraining another...

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    Being a new grad, it is tough getting in the first time around. They are loyal to inhouse staff transferring from say a nurses aide to an RN, which is understandable. My goal is to work for Queens...

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    No, I am not working there. Have not heard anything positive about it. Will look elsewhere. The work environment and patient safety is important. The nurse to patient ratio is too

    Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked at previous tele floors where the patient to nurse ratio is 4 or 3 to 1. Six and seven sounds heavy especially if they are as sick as you have mentioned. Pay rate sounds good but I bet...
