    LPN to RN woes

    caliotter3 replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    To add to this post: (1) The longer you wait, the more it will cost, both in tuition/fees and time involved. (2) Over time, requirements will change. I have noticed very important changes just at...

    Nurses nit-pick & endorse too many things

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

    The behavior no doubt is institutionalized. I noted that you said in your post that you reported situations to the manager, yet it seems nothing has changed. Nothing will change. You have to decide...

    Are Virtual Clinicals A Detriment to Future RN Hirability?

    caliotter3 replied to ALittleNightMusic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I certainly would not point out any details, especially "negative", of your clinical experience at an interview for employment. For what it is worth, employers are well aware that clinical placements...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    When the MD talks to her in a baby voice and the agency manager goes out for drinks with her, you know it is a lost cause. There are more rotten fish around this agency and its clients than a rotten...

    Covid and family members

    caliotter3 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    We are low on hand sanitizer and will soon run out. From what I understand on the Target website hand sanitizer is no longer being carried. Other entries only say ‘out of stock’. Will be surprised...

    Defeated.

    caliotter3 replied to Smoores's topic in General Nursing

    Try again, but this time with permanent employment. Employers are generally more prone to work with you if they have a bigger stake in your success. Travelers are too easy to throw

    LPN in Admissions being given Ultimatum

    caliotter3 replied to VansMama13's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While reading your post I sure got the impression that you are not well-liked there. I can see the employer's desire to get more from you by having you work on the floor, but I can also see that...

    I'm no longer pursuing nursing

    caliotter3 replied to tiffanythomas20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered taking a time out by going to LPN school, then maybe working as an LPN for awhile? You could “age out” your poor grades, then retake them, perhaps even one at a time, to get...

    Incorrigible

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to answer this here, but wondering how detailed you were during your interview? Wondering if the new employer is aware of your cartooning activities. Maybe you should look for another...

    Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

    caliotter3 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where did you say in your original post that you were turning down extra shifts? Where in my post did I say that I am angry?Another example of people posting and then attacking others who respond...

    Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

    caliotter3 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What Sour Lemon said. For all intents and purposes, from your post, it is obvious you can't do this job. You need to find another job and leave this one with proper

    Orientation debacle

    caliotter3 replied to apple2cactus's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You say you don't have the capacity to deal with this. Meet with the person responsible for the match and disengage. If you have to, give details, otherwise try to manage the level at which you...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    Expect management to criticize your notes if they are very detailed and make clear what is going on. Expect them to tell you to rewrite notes to their 'standard', to make things vague or outright...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    Katie I assume there is a marked difference between the way you treated the LPNs who worked with you and the way this client is treating Mzsuccess. Can’t imagine you asking a nurse to give you their...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    The client treats you this way because your employer encourages this behavior by not supporting you or previous nurses. Previous nurses either quietly walked away from this case and/or the employer or...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    There are nurses who work as companions or home health aides because they are desperate for work. It is entirely possible that your agency pitched your services to the client this way, especially...

    Can I lose my license for this?

    caliotter3 replied to Connor's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Your "friend" refuses to delete it and you felt it necessary to post about this here, your gut is telling you something. As previously suggested, you need to consult an attorney at this

    Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    caliotter3 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I posted before about the nurse who sat at the nurses station eating her breakfast while a patient's family member stood in front of her. She wouldn't look up at the

    Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    caliotter3 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    No different than when they get pizza or other food goodies for long term care facility staff and leave out night shift. No less insulting is when night shift gets leftovers and half eaten garbage...

    Can I lose my license for this?

    caliotter3 replied to Connor's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why don't you just destroy the video and hope the person who made it, as well as the patient (if they were aware), keep their mouths shut? And where were your instructor, your preceptor nurse, and...

    CNA pressured to work sick

    caliotter3 replied to kyle33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Have your PCP order a test for you and deal with this. Your physician will put you on quarantine since your employer won’t allow you to self quarantine. And be ready to go to a hospital if you

    Our family removed the boxes of masks that our agency provided. Guess they thought the masks were provided to them and not the
