    Overcharting as new grad?

    caliotter3 replied to guest1138986's topic in General Nursing

    Unless your supervisor over the unit gives you constructive criticism, take what this malcontent is saying as his attempt to intimidate you into coming down to his level of charting (in)competence....

    ER nurse also working Private Duty

    caliotter3 replied to Orion81RN's topic in Private Duty

    It seems to me when you posted about this family member before you were advised to leave the case then. It is your choice to stay there under any circumstances and to accept any adverse...

    ER nurse also working Private Duty

    caliotter3 replied to Orion81RN's topic in Private Duty

    I am surprised the patient's family did not put their foot down. My patient's parents delicately gave us regulars an interrogation session about our behaviors away from their home, prefacing it with...

    Grading Changed to Pass/Fail?

    caliotter3 replied to sdgirl1's topic in General Students

    I don't see how this helps students. I think it is to ease the instructor workload. Now, easing requirements for grade of "Incomplete" might be

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    caliotter3 replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    After reading the prior posts, I know there is a good reason why I have avoided the many, many job opportunities for detox/rehab facilities posted in my area. I don't see myself working in these...

    Tech have question about seeking new employment???

    caliotter3 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Ask questions during the interview stage. If wages offered do not meet your criteria and can not be negotiated upwards, then you simply decline an offer. It is up to you to decide what you want, what...

    What Is Wrong with These Students?

    caliotter3 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My class had those who consistently came to class late, talked, slept, or otherwise made noise and disrupted class. Then there were those suckups who monopolized the instructor every chance they got....

    Night Nursing School

    caliotter3 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I know of one program in my state that has an "evening" program, but info has it that classes start as early as four in the afternoon. The logistics of operating at night probably do not work out,...

    How do you juggle nursing and family ?

    caliotter3 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    You can individualize shifts in extended care home health more easily than in traditional jobs. I was on a case where another RN wanted/needed to be home when her child got home from school, so...

    Unemployment/ PRN nurses

    caliotter3 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, when your hours are reduced, you indicate that fact when you apply and in your recertification. For each pay period you have to indicate how many hours you worked and for whom. It will...

    Three repeated classes? Can I get into a Nursing school.

    caliotter3 replied to Hgonz622's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does not make sense to hold against a student repeated courses that are repeated due to age. You are forced to repeat the class whether you are ‘fine’ with a C or not

    HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    Well, as I see it, you could have a case, but as you see it, why bother. I can’t say that I’m happy slogging around with employers. I would retire, retire in a heartbeat if I

    do per diem nurses qualify for unemployment

    caliotter3 replied to Bella2016's topic in General Nursing

    This is a question for your state employment department. However I would not expect turning down work for any reason (usually) than illness will keep you in benefits if you manage to convince them to...

    HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    Well, well, welcome to the ranks of the retired. (You don't notice that I work as many as two jobs in my "retirement"). Glad that you can keep a roof over your head, food in your tummy, and gas in...

    New Admission Documentation

    caliotter3 replied to LatteRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I worked in LTC, floor nurses did the admissions. If I were you I would not be staying until after 2 am. And for that matter, our facilities had a cutoff time for admissions. As I recall, it was...

    Unemployment/ PRN nurses

    caliotter3 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Apply. Actually same situation as a PT employee. It would help if your record showed some hours during the reporting period to establish that you are ‘employed’ by that employer, but apply. Worst...

    How to not be discouraged of seeing other Nurses fired/suspended?

    Disrespect & Profanity

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    It would be tempting for another "someone" to divulge the identity of Wrongway but then AN would be forced to remove all evidence in deference to Wrongway, errr, I mean Rightway you know. I see...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    So they used “someone’s” participation on AN as a reason to terminate? Not the first time, probably not the last. Does not change my opinion of Wrongway and its administration. Clark’s...

    Unreasonable Risks are not part of the job

    caliotter3 replied to ReflectiveRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Rzyzzy was being facetious! You don’t really think the degreed “professionals” are going to be rendering actual patient care, even to be instructive to the lower castes do you?
