    nurse2033 replied to KayDubb's topic in General Nursing

    Your boss does not get to tell you when you are too sick to work, that's your decision. It's also a health risk with you vomiting all over the place. Don't feel guilty because your boss sucks. This...

    HIPAA privacy question

    nurse2033 replied to nurseandre34's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't think there is any gray zone here. The patient was an adult. If she wanted privacy from her mother she could have said so. Perhaps she isn't mature enough to realize that she can run her own...

    Leaving new job for a better offer

    nurse2033 replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    Just put yourself first here. Keep the job you have. If you get a better one resign. I would ask the current job if they want two weeks notice, but if they are training you they are probably happy to...

    Military CRNA

    nurse2033 replied to cole1321's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm in the ANG and too new to help you. I'm pretty sure in the AF you would enter as a captain (O3) based on a Masters degree. I would think you would be an top candidate so make sure you get all the...

    Being overly sensitive/overly emotional when dealing with patients

    nurse2033 replied to kynchanted's topic in General Nursing

    Crying is OK as long as it doesn't impact your ability to work. Most family members would be touched that the nurse cares that much. I'm not worried about the public, more about you. If you can handle...

    work excuse and privacy issues

    nurse2033 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    This is not your issue. You informed her of privacy issues, (which she may disregard if she chooses) and gave a work excuse. It is not our job to satisfy whatever obtuse requirements her job may

    I think my personality is keeping me from finding a job ...please help

    nurse2033 replied to Guest03/15/15's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with a few posters, I think you are best to come right out and say it in the interview. You can then proceed to explain the same things you put in your post and how Aspergers actually helps...

    Male Army Nurse?

    nurse2033 replied to bigdaddyCCRN's topic in Government, Military

    The Air Force flies C-130s so they can handle your weight. As far as I know nurses don't fly around in helicopters, that's for medics. I'm getting $45,000 paid out over three years, once I finish all...

    Working as a Nurse in another Country

    nurse2033 replied to jassmin's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be best to get experience where you want to work, i.e. in the states. If you can't get a job then foreign experience is better than none. Working abroad would be a great experience,...

    Any runners out there who work 3 12's???

    nurse2033 replied to roma4204's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly since feeling good running is more important to me than feeling good working I don't worry about it. Although I've always got energy to burn so I might not be a good

    Male Army Nurse?

    nurse2033 replied to bigdaddyCCRN's topic in Government, Military

    Don't exclude the Air Force. They have flying ICUs for transporting intubated and other critical soldiers. They will also take you older than any other service (47!). I just got an amazing bonus to...

    nurse2033 replied to MJJFan1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are the victim of a passive aggressive personality. She got upset by what you said but was too afraid to talk to you openly so she went to the boss and complained. You should tell...
