    Need Advice, No Longer Able To Be A Nurse

    caliotter3 replied to Just Peachy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The transcript is a record of your performance at that school. Everything shows. It is up to the receiving school to cull your record for the courses they will give you credit for. The only time a...

    LVN to RN time limit

    caliotter3 replied to Texas's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check the website for the CA BRN for instructions to get a CA RN license as CA has unlimited attempts. It may take a little longer to get the ball rolling, but worth it when you get what you

    Is it frowned upon by supervisors and coworkers if a new grad nurse pursues DNP?

    caliotter3 replied to jeexrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even though it is none of their business what you do outside of work, do yourself a favor and keep the info to yourself. You don’t want ‘braggadocio’ associated with your

    Do not return list

    caliotter3 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    None of us works for your agency or any of those employers so we can’t speak for or about them. The best way to find out the answers to your questions is to call the agency and the employers and...

    Working full time nights

    caliotter3 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Make a pact with yourself that the arrangements you are being forced into will only last as long as you need to find a day job. All kinds of jobs are as scarce as ever right now. You might not get...

    Can I realistically become a Nurse with my disability?

    caliotter3 replied to Guest1144459's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    On the surface, OP, it would seem that you have unrealistic expectations. Perhaps it would be wiser to seek another avenue to express your desire to help people. My nursing school had an instructor...

    Do you stay in contact with the family after you leave case?

    caliotter3 replied to PedsRN810's topic in Private Duty

    There has only been one family in almost thirty years of doing extended care nursing that I have had any desire to communicate with concerning the patient's current well-being. I would have remained...

    Have you ever received an award for nursing?

    caliotter3 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Not an award, but was rewarded by a pay increase, although minuscule, for doing a good job. Only time anything like that has ever happened in my

    Mic Key g-tube clogging

    caliotter3 replied to Soloist's topic in Gastroenterology

    I got the order to call for a liquid formulation. Used to be able to buy the brand we were using for that client at the grocery store. As I recall, there was one bottle for the calcium and one...

    Phasing out LPN

    caliotter3 replied to YourFuture22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Fifty years ago phasing out LPN/LVNs was discussed. So far that has not happened. However, as previously stated, you will have greater opportunity as an RN, so don’t slam that door shut just

    NIGHT SHIFT

    caliotter3 replied to hoyeshi's topic in General Nursing

    As you know, day shift is considered more desirable for many if not most. Therefore, when people get their desired day shift job, they are not likely to vacate the position as quickly as someone who...

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    That's what I did. I stayed out of it because I knew how the conversation would have gone. After all, they knew darn well what was going on since there had been lengthy discussion about the...

    What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    caliotter3 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Still in school when I learned that our advisor, a recently graduated nurse from our program, was divorced from the doctor who worked in the clinic where the nursing students went for care. She was...

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    Yes. I missed one week of work. Nobody noticed and nobody said anything until some time after the fact, when I got jumped. I said nothing about this because I did not want to be interrogated...

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    We had some problems with a lack of communication to the agency regarding scheduling, like for an entire week's vacation, and nothing being said. For quite some time. Then I got jumped on for it and...

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    On my present case, we started talking to each other first because the agency fails to notify AT ALL too many times, leaving nurse as well as the client in the lurch. It all works both

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    There are nurses who like being at the beck and call of their clients. That is how they keep a stronghold on the case. Some carry it so far as to sleep at the client's home on occasion, for various...

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    If the client has one's phone number, they have the ability to text them. I was also going to add that the OP's client could have told the agency that she had already cleared it with the OP who was...

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    caliotter3 replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    I would not jeopardize my employment with my agency by flaunting agency policy in accepting that shift off the books. If an emergency, she could have made an arrangement with the agency to trade that...
