    Scope of Practice and medications?

    caliotter3 replied to Catedi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Coworker leaving but won’t put in notice

    caliotter3 replied to T-Bird78's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Coworker should have kept her mouth shut about her plans. Now someone who realizes the situation this will cause could very well put her luggage in the street by letting management

    Job interview

    Working Less Than 8-Hour Shifts?

    caliotter3 replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful how you approach a prospective employer concerning your schedule. Come across as potential or probable high maintenance and you might not be considered further. Employers want employees who...

    What is wrong with me

    Am I wrong?

    caliotter3 replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like someone was having a bad day, a very bad day (and I'm not referring to you). Interesting how they get to take things out on their patients, but if we lose our self control, we're liable...

    Blacklisted?

    Is being greedy by taking lots of shifts bad?

    caliotter3 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Take time for rest and spread the wealth of extra shifts, but if no one else wants those shifts, well. I would discreetly ask the supervisor if others complain that they can’t get extra shifts. Then...
