    APRN in scrubs?

    caliotter3 replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in Advanced Practice

    If it were me, it would depend on if my workplace were an office with me behind a desk or not. If I had to travel from point A to point B then on to point C, like in a facility, it would be scrubs and...

    Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I need to stop watching post apocalyptic TV shows and movies, especially the ones about pandemics. They are losing their entertainment value when this is becoming the

    How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    caliotter3 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    In many cases, you have the least chance of interaction with peers doing extended care home health. If you are lucky you can get on a case where you are the only nurse period. Or, you see another...

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    Work refuses call out?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurseynurse11's topic in General Nursing

    A shift supervisor told me to bring in a doctor's note when I returned one time. Cost me to go to the doctor but thought it was nice that they told me to stay home for two more days than I originally...

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    caliotter3 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The employees chose to go on leave. The employer chose to allow them to do so. The replacement workers chose to take a job with no promised longevity. Now the employer chooses to allow those who...

    I used to work in a Nightclub. Does it look bad to play this up to hiring managers?

    caliotter3 replied to MikoPDX's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Tone up your nursing experience. They are probably getting the impression you would rather be working at a club tending

    Sleeping In Vehicle Between Shifts

    caliotter3 replied to NGRN89's topic in General Nursing

    You can rent a room on a limited basis. When I rented a room one time, a woman rented one of the rooms and I never saw her. Her room was no more than a "contingency" room. And sleeping six hours in...

    What is up with the level of entitlement?

    caliotter3 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    I would go one further and make certification as well as a minimum of six months paid experience a prerequisite to nursing school. I would also give more points (on an admission based on points...

    Employer not offering COVID 19 vaccine in CA

    caliotter3 replied to NightingmaleRN's topic in Home Health

    Employers made sure to pass along the information needed to get the vaccine from the Health Department. Other than that, one of them provides gloves and masks if the worker wants to get

    BSN or MSN without RN in Oregon?

    caliotter3 replied to daisychains11's topic in Oregon Nursing

    There are tons of nursing openings, some with crisis pay, for those who are willing to work with Covid positive patients, or even at testing sites, or vaccination clinics. So, that is one avenue to...

    How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    caliotter3 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    "Do the work you are assigned and then go home." Stop concentrating on coworkers. When your mind strays, bring it back to doing your own job. That is just enough to keep you occupied at your job,...

    Doc Won't See Me Because I Treat Covid Patients

    caliotter3 replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Easy solution, stop telling people you are an ER nurse or that you treat Covid patients. I learned the hard way a long time ago to never tell a doctor or their staff at all that I am a nurse. That...

    Nurses are Pushed to the Brink

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with you. Hire those nursing assistants, pay them well, assist them to become certified if they need it and you will go a long way toward easing a lot of strain. And how many of those nursing...

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    caliotter3 replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    When in the military, I once worked with a coworker who made a statement to the effect that she had a "tumor". Turned out that the "tumor" was the pregnancy she caught from her adulterous affair that...

    caliotter3 replied to chachanurse101's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The agencies in the area, to one degree or another, pretty much have the same level of environment and none of them have a terrible plethora of available work at the time. Worse so, than in non-Covid...

    So Sick Of Rudeness At Work

    This sounds like a good strategy for dealing with less than stellar CNA performance at shift end. I would go with that, even considering the extra overtime paid to the

    caliotter3 replied to chachanurse101's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm thinking of one agency whose SOC included ascertaining that the patient was using a ventilator, when none could be found in the home. Now that is what I call being sharp and to the point! Like...

    New Nurse to DON

    Be careful that you are not being set up for failure. Sounds like a job offer coming from one of those forever in trouble facilities. I would continue to look for a better fit for your new license...

    You probably have a good solid three choices: you can plug away, lowering your expectations, and take home a paycheck; you can beat yourself bloody trying to bring about positive change; or you can...

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    Gee, many, many years ago when I applied for a job at a dialysis clinic in response to a job ad, they would not even give me the time of day. Now to read that people with murky backgrounds can get...
