    No hospital will hire me!

    caliotter3 replied to ineedachange1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The bottom line is that she does not have hospital experience and that is the basis for hospital employers to reject her. She needs to apply to other employers if she wants to work at all....

    LVN/LPN out to get me?????

    caliotter3 replied to Bretside's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    You kind of have to be careful about using scheduled hours to discipline support personnel. It could backfire. They did that with one very poor CNA and ended up having to recall her from suspension...

    LVN/LPN out to get me?????

    caliotter3 replied to Bretside's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I once worked at a place that had an LVN that was a version of this. Eventually, after much turmoil, turnover, and new administration finally seeing her for what she was, her hours started to get cut....

    Hospice NP asked to perform RN visits?

    caliotter3 replied to pierogi's topic in Advanced Practice

    And they also probably see some sort of benefit to having "higher' qualifications to do the work. Like the benefit of having an RN do LPN level visits. Perhaps play it up with the patients. I would...

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    caliotter3 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In response to the first sentence of the article at this link, the Cali branch of the Otter family disavows any connection, familial or otherwise, to the said mentioned Butch Otter. The Otter clan...

    Will this look unprofessional?

    caliotter3 replied to raindrop's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Sweet Jesus! How can you work anywhere in that area with this situation? Have you considered moving away? I certainly would. You need a fresh start in a place where you have an even chance to...

    Fair practice?

    caliotter3 replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even suggest hiring another tech. A non-certified medical assistant or a plain administrative 'assistant' (clerk) can be hired to do clerical duties at just a tad less than tech wages...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    caliotter3 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, I don't lose sleep over the code status of any coworkers. I wonder what must be wrong with me. Now I do lose sleep over whether or not I might not be relieved because a coworker has...

    Nurse forced to work as a tech/CNA

    caliotter3 replied to ThatOneRN_'s topic in General Nursing

    You probably left yourself open to this quick fix when you first volunteered. Now, since it is no longer so acceptable to you, have the appropriate conversation with the appropriate person and then...

    What Color Scrubs Are Appropriate?

    caliotter3 replied to spikedorchid's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In a pinch I have worn a navy knit pair of slacks, but they turned out to be very hot to work in. I couldn't do that all the time. Many years ago, JC Penney used to have a store brand white slack...

    What Color Scrubs Are Appropriate?

    caliotter3 replied to spikedorchid's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    After I got my fill of print tops and trying to have a color pant to match anything, I decided to make it easy for me. I now buy black, gray, or pewter scrub bottoms and an assortment of solid color...

    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    caliotter3 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    A car interior and UPS “street” mailing address can be considered a good home when compared to a city sidewalk or out in the woods. Gratitude for what one has instead of fawning over what one...

    Feeling off about job

    caliotter3 replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    You are not being oversensitive and management should be educating all personnel not to interrupt count anyway. They don't need anyone to suggest it. This does not sound like a desirable situation...

    READMISSION INTO NURSING PROGRAM?

    caliotter3 replied to ilovecake's topic in School, College Programs

    What have the program administrators told you? In many programs, probably most, a person takes a medical leave of absence, and then picks up where they left off, provided there is space available....

    LPN wants to transition to RN

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

    All RN programs require pretty nearly the same (mostly science) prerequisites. If you must work full time, then take online courses. If you can not make that work for you, then perhaps you should...

    Burnout in HH

    caliotter3 replied to 1999nurse's topic in Home Health

    In my state at least, there is a labor law/regulation that limits the number of consecutive hours worked straight or with a limited "down time" between the end/start of two work periods. Believe the...
