  1. Hurricane coming: evacuate or stay and work?

    RN1121 replied to FroggyMama's topic in General Nursing

    My car will be the one right behind you with the 5 screaming kids. My place is with my family, SAFE. If they tell me to evacuate, I'm gonna evacuate. Without a doubt in my mind. The job would be...

  2. Advice

    RN1121 replied to GODISGOOD15's topic in General Nursing

    It seems though you have overcome some setbacks and are well on your way! Just one step at a time. Finish the associate degree program, then you can prepare to advance your education from there....

  3. New graduate RN jobs outside the hospital?

    RN1121 replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I'd think that finding a position outside the acute care setting without any previous acute experience may be challenging; but obviously not impossible. It depends on where you live, what resources...

  4. should i feel guilty?

    RN1121 replied to purpil29's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody can make you feel guilty! You are responsible for your own emotions and reactions to the decisions you make in your own life. Time to take care of YOUR needs; because there ain't nobody that...

  5. Problem With Orientation Schedule-How do I voice my concerns?

    RN1121 replied to RN1981's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Unless you have a compelling issue, childcare, home obligations, etc, I honestly would suck it up and do the 90 days on her schedule. Especially since you stated you do like her. I think...

  6. Pre-pouring meds ... am I wrong?

    RN1121 replied to aznqtpie's topic in General Nursing

    You totally, without a doubt did the right thing, IMHO. You should be proud of yourself to be able to: 1. Identify a potential safety issue dealing with the care of your residents; 2. Cared enough...

  7. What to do when agency holds pay

    RN1121 replied to pedshomehealth's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought of something to add to my previous answer. Is is possible that the agency holds one to two paychecks as a rule for their payroll? I have heard of that happening of an employer chooses...

  8. What to do when agency holds pay

    RN1121 replied to pedshomehealth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, would you want to work for an agency like that anyhow? Are you working for free? It sounds to me like the agency doesn't have your best interest in mind. Heck, after the first time, I can see...

  9. What questions to ask at an interview...

    RN1121 replied to L&DRN2008's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here are a few questions you may want to ask the unit manager on your interview: 1. How many staff do you directly oversee? 2. How do you handle issues within the unit? 3. What are some challenges...

  10. Nursing License complaint by disgruntled employee

    RN1121 replied to mahoganybbw's topic in General Nursing

    Is she delusional? You must be frustrated and angry. I just wanted to send peace of mind and support. I hope everything is worked out NOW, and she gets it for falsifying accusations. What goes...

  11. Lost =O

    RN1121 replied to studentinprogress's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I took time off after I graduated from Nursing School to focus on my studying and be READY to take the NCLEX. I wasn't in any rush to test. I used a book as a guide. (I forget which one) I...

  12. CNA trying to hit me up for drugs.

    RN1121 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility do random drug screens? The facility needs to be made aware of the possible liability and potential danger this employee is. This is FAARRR fetched, but was she possibly kidding...

  13. Questions about Missing Narcs

    RN1121 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great idea to check the backs of the blister packs. I've heard stories about nurses cutting open the foil, taking out the narc and placing a vitamin c back in the blister pack.

  14. Questions about Missing Narcs

    RN1121 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked agency and came on/off shift, I was extremely thorough with counting the narcs. I looked at the book AND the actual meds on hand to make sure they matched. I wasn't ever one to take...

  15. I cant take it!~!!!

    RN1121 replied to bullesh's topic in General Nursing

    Well, what shift is this? Because in LTC on 11-7, it is not unusual to have 60+ residents with one nurse and a few CNA's. Please remember that if you feel unsafe with an assignment DO NOT accept...

  16. question of ethics

    RN1121 replied to hopefornursing's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Jolie. I think you would be flirting with the boundary of professional inappropriateness if you were to get involved at this point. I think it should be up to the PATIENT to investigate...

  19. Life Crisis

    RN1121 replied to markfrc65's topic in General Nursing

    We aren't qualified here on this board to give legal advice, it's part of the TOS, but best wishes anyhow.

  20. Life Crisis

    RN1121 replied to markfrc65's topic in General Nursing

    What a HARSH punishment! Is there a way to file a grievance with the nursing school? I wish you the best of luck during this disappointing time in your life. Perhaps you can re-take the class, and...

  21. Who is in Nursing for the money?

    RN1121 replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I am definitely in it for the money. I'd NEVER work for free (unless I decide to volunteer when I retire). If I could change careers, and was able to afford the education, and would make similar...

  23. What you get for nurses week

    RN1121 replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    We had a few choices: umbrellas, totes, shirts, sweatshirts, lunch bags all with the company logo. I chose a very cozy sweatshirt. We were also given a very nice luncheon. My hubby, who is a nurse...

  25. When the boss makes an error

    RN1121 replied to proud2b1's topic in General Nursing

    I find this thread to be rather interesting... Many of us are enlightened about the mistakes others make, and are able to learn from them.... The first position I had was at a hospital on the med/surg...
