    Using RN after your name in a different state.

    caliotter3 replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    We sat there in class with our Scope of Practice copies all opened to the same page. The instructor went over it like a first grade teacher pounding something into the somewhat thick heads of the...

    Using RN after your name in a different state.

    caliotter3 replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    You said this person is in an executive position, so most likely, yes, she can put RN after her name because her employment eminates from New York right? If her employer is not based in NY, then no,...

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    caliotter3 replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know of anyone who has challenged the CNA exam in CA since this turnabout almost three decades ago. I do know that it causes some level of consternation for those desperately seeking...

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    caliotter3 replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you don’t wait to renewal time you must surrender the license to inactivate it. However, this being the case, in CA, s/he must then obtain a CNA certificate. CA did away with the CNA...

    LVN an RN after your name

    caliotter3 replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    The intricacies involved with some employers when applying to different positions is what makes it worth it. Some employers won’t hire an RN into an LVN/LPN position but an RN with an LVN license...

    LVN an RN after your name

    caliotter3 replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    If you are hired as an RN and working as an RN use RN at work. Likewise hired and working as an LVN, use LVN on your work documentation. Otherwise, RN to the world. Don’t advise to use both. Avoid...

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    caliotter3 replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    So you want RN accountability for CNA pay? Full time? Check with your malpractice insurance carrier to see if they will insure you for this situation. I have only heard of RNs, or LVNs for that...

    Night Shift Should I Just Leave

    caliotter3 replied to Gratefully2years's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Definitely talk with your DON and make your next move depending on what she says. However, continue to pursue new employment options as an expeditious move out of your present situation would be...

    Went to inactive license

    caliotter3 replied to londonflo's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that way every time I end an extended care nursing case, no matter the circumstances. There is loss of job (for whatever length of time), and then there is loss of patient/family interaction...

    Help with resignation letter

    caliotter3 replied to AMRN1013's topic in General Nursing

    Under the circumstances be prepared to leave the employer. Their first reaction is likely to terminate your relationship altogether, rather than to allow you to demote yourself. Just be

    I just love those beautiful collars on lady judges! Something distinguished that only a lady can wear. Kind of like the long gone nursing

    NO JOBS

    caliotter3 replied to NewNurseBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    For those who have tried home health with no success, ask about extended care rather than intermittent visit work. Employers are more inclined to hire a new grad without experience for extended care...

    Struggling with Anatomy and Physiology

    caliotter3 replied to Cgreenz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are within the dates to take a W without it showing on your transcript, I would strongly consider withdrawing from the class. While you wait to enroll next term, study the material. You have...

    Is this a bait and switch?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    They offered you the job at one rate and then insulted you by lowering that rate. Insult or not, I would not go forward with this. Unlike many, you have the leverage to take your skills and...

    Obtaining Car Stock

    caliotter3 replied to starmickey03's topic in Home Health

    The agency is heavily wound care based per your final sentence, yet they give you a hard time about getting supplies? You say this situation is exhausting. Things are fishy and they aren't going to...

    What should I do in this situation? (Very afraid)

    caliotter3 replied to LvlupNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I just don't think I would stay on in any capacity at a place that has me on a PIP, justified or not. Too easy to turn into a nonrepairable cluster. Git while the gittin' is good. Start over

    Home health to Clinic?

    caliotter3 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    There are extended care cases where you sit on your bum for the better part of eight hours and 'professionally' "observe" your client. Think rocking chair and night shift. Of course, the literal "no...

    Nurse differential pay question

    caliotter3 replied to Newnurse23's topic in General Nursing

    You should. Isn't 7 pm to 7 am between 3 pm and 7 am? Go to HR, or call, and ask for clarification. What I don't see is a difference between a PM and night shift differential, should there ever be...

    What should I do in this situation? (Very afraid)

    caliotter3 replied to LvlupNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    OP, your comment about seeing the new guy that was going to be working your shift resonated with me. I passed the same "new guy" on the way out of the building one morning and had to stop by the...

    Brightree documentation training question

    Never heard of this. Just did an internet search and guess that if you found nothing useful on the site, then you will just have to look elsewhere. Just do an internet search in general for those...

    caliotter3 replied to anna halloway's topic in LPN to RN

    If they were vague there is a reason. Don't push it. As you said, this is a rural area and you don't want to put a bad taste in the mouths of the wrong people. You say you want to know what to do...

    School day documentation

    caliotter3 replied to LilyRN99's topic in Private Duty

    Each hour make an entry that there are no signs of discomfort or seizure activity, perhaps a remark about attentiveness or cooperation. Do this for awhile to see if it flies versus the one catch-all...

    caliotter3 replied to guest1156666's topic in General Nursing

    All I have to add is that if OP actually did resign over this, with employment matters being what they are, she will have a difficult time maintaining a standard of living. Almost all jobs have their...
