    Cobweb replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in Patient Medications

    So...several people have said not to put meds in your pocket, but they haven't said what to do with them (except if they need to be put back--I think taping them on your badge is a good way not to...

  6. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    Cobweb replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think, in addition to other points made here, a lot of HRs don't hire staff for longevity that much any more. They want somebody to fill their quota today, and they don't care if you plan to leave...

  7. I Lost a Medication: Controlled Substance

    Cobweb replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in Patient Medications

    Cobweb replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

  11. Another string to my bow

    Cobweb posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am working as a PPS coordinator in a rehab facility three days a week. This job is pretty great, as I work in a wheelchair and my boss is really easy-going about my time--I can come in pretty much...

  12. Another string to my bow

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in Nursing Career

    Those seem like pretty good rules :) I thought about case management, but the case managers where I'm at always seem harried and very self-defensive, which makes me think they take a lot of crap all...

  13. My first job interview in 30 years

    Cobweb posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So, I went on a job interview today, and I think it went pretty well, although I was excruciatingly nervous. The head of the department took me to see her boss after my interview, and said, since...

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing
