    I can't get a job!!

    caliotter3 replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes what employers state in their job ads and what they might do in reality are two different things. Apply, even if you think you don’t meet some specific requirement, such as recent...

    Why is this LPN struggling so much to get into RN school?

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

    Also keep in mind that many employers will require a minimum of one year experience as an RN before they will consider hiring you as an RN. Your observation that there are difficult...

    Unfairness at work

    caliotter3 replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    Many people I've worked with are able to use their standing with the employer to get what they want without being forced to use underhanded excuses. They just state they want certain time off, they...

    Finding a following MD

    caliotter3 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Home Health

    Sounds like this agency is saving the cost of a salaried office person by making you do some of their duties to start the case. Something tells me that down the road you will find yourself...

    Missed posted Job opportunity

    caliotter3 replied to SJaae's topic in General Nursing

    I would not mention that you had previous knowledge of the postings, make it sound like you are writing from the standpoint of the news of your move. If they get an impression that you knew earlier,...

    Job offer..salary to start then point based pay..need feedback please

    caliotter3 replied to Peachpit's topic in Home Health

    I can't see going through this just to have a job. Visit work is fine when there is an abundance of available work but when one gets one visit in a day and it is so far away that one has to pay out...

    Job offer..salary to start then point based pay..need feedback please

    caliotter3 replied to Peachpit's topic in Home Health

    My take on this is that you are going to transition into a non FT situation similar to how people get paid "on commission". No calls, no work, no pay. Few calls, only paid for that type of visit....

    Forced to Return to the Floor

    caliotter3 replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

    Agree that you should try to comply by starting the orientation. Then, should things not work out and you are forced to resign for health reasons, you will have a better chance to save your...

    Overworked

    caliotter3 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    I left visit work for extended care. Extended care means my eight hour shift is my eight hour shift. Problem

    Co-Manager Colleague Late to Everything

    caliotter3 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I've talked until I'm blue in the face, mostly as a nurse taking care of another nurse, like we all should do, in many situations over the decades and it does no good. I highly doubt there is an...

    Co-Manager Colleague Late to Everything

    caliotter3 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This. And she knows it. She takes advantage of the fact that her supervisor(s) don't care to make her correct her behavior. Work with someone like this quite often. All the observations do is to...

    Negative Nancy?

    caliotter3 replied to NurCe-45's topic in General Nursing

    Posters can't delete their own posts unless you edit it to be a bunch of x's or periods or such. That is the quicker way while you wait for a moderator to delete the entire thread. No telling when...

    New grad......did I make a mistake?

    caliotter3 replied to TaylorJ's topic in General Nursing

    If my mom allowed this the amount of nagging that accompanied it would make it a very undesirable course of action. Many nurses combine med passes as a matter of course in LTC

    Hired as a PNP, forced to work as an RN

    caliotter3 replied to HelloNurse80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I read about being logged into two computers at once, each for its own role, my first thought was “how exciting “. I could also see an open bottle of liquor near each for stabilization of...

    Old patients unsuccessfully clinging to independent living

    caliotter3 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Many elders have family that wants nothing to do with caregiving or them. They can’t help that their family doesn’t want them around. And just the other day I saw an ad for an assisted living...

    SFN, POTS, Dysautonomia

    caliotter3 replied to Pvt.dty.ped.nurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Can’t help but wonder what assistance your employer has offered. You may need the services of an attorney that specializes in disability. I’m sure you know how difficult and time consuming the...

    HH worth the pay?

    caliotter3 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    Yes. The agencies are known as 'home health' or 'home care' or 'healthcare' agencies. Some offer both intemittent visit work and shift work. Some only offer intermittent care. Some also will do...

    HH worth the pay?

    caliotter3 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    Shift work, some call it private duty. Won't get into the argument about what to call it. I was taught that true "private duty" is shift work that is paid for by the client him/herself. Most...

    HH worth the pay?

    caliotter3 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    I found that I lost money when I did visit home health but extended care is just eight hours pay for an eight hour shift. No work at home, follow-up, or getting ready for the next day's visits, no...

    California

    caliotter3 replied to jcd211's topic in Nurse Registration

    Your application is governed by the program you graduated from, no matter where or how long ago. I highly doubt your intervening residence in the US will change anything along those lines. You need to...

    Hired as a PNP, forced to work as an RN

    caliotter3 replied to HelloNurse80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you feel strongly enough about this to resign? I would go along with the plan if they had not hired the new doctors, but they are flaunting that their excuse to you is a crock. It bears serous...

    Night shift has changed my life for the worst

    caliotter3 replied to pandabearlover's topic in General Nursing

    Extended care home health provides the flexibility to work only day shift. This area of nursing is also good for establishing relationships and long term satisfaction with your patient’s care. You...

    Bad reputation

    caliotter3 replied to Takealeaf's topic in Home Health

    Back in the days before HIPAA was so widely discussed, I vaguely remember a DPCS, when interviewing me, telling me she had a case which she could not staff that was all she could offer me. But...

    Gender discrimination in pay

    caliotter3 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Based on pay inequity, I need a change of scenery. Unfortunately the scenes I have been able to scope out based on pay are so much worse than the one I’m stuck
