  1. Short staffing incentive ideas???

    Conqueror+ replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

    The last thing we need is a system that lets the facility pay as little as possible. Moreover, the nurse who always got the shifts was known to have undercut everyone else and became most hated....

  2. Moral character

    Conqueror+ replied to beckiand's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I also don't think OP is a nurse. Even the biggest @#$%^ knows better than to put a nurse on the BON's radar. It is so easy to screw up someones career. Only non nurses think it's no big deal. They...

  3. 2 week notice and manager is upset.

    Conqueror+ replied to Fullmetalnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I also think she will find some other reason to make you a DNR at the current job. DO NOT risk the new job over the old one. I have seen nasty managers try to seriously jam someone up professionally...

  4. On-site vs On-line MSN

    Conqueror+ replied to laughlove's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    However do they manage to pass their certification

  5. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I would say yes because you simply handed her the keys and walked out. If they are nasty enough to report you they will also lie and say that you never requested relief and just walked

  6. Getting into NP schools (GPA)

    Conqueror+ replied to novastudent9595's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My local public University has 3.0 listed as the minimum GPA but I learned from an admissions counselor that 3.5 is a more realistic number. They have 4 applicants for every

  7. Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are mistaken. If you have naturally kinky hair your locs are formed by your hair holding onto itself, not dirt and grease. And to add, the term DREADlock was coined by europeans who visited the...

  8. If you don't have a uniform...

    Conqueror+ replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    While I am drooling I also feel that you should be standing up in a room somewhere and saying "Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a scrubaholic" HI LISA

  9. Resignation in lieu of drug test? Is random testing the answer?

    Conqueror+ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So how is this different from mandatory flu vaccines? Everyone going on about personal freedoms makes me wonder how they feel about being forced by the "corporate master" to inject a foreign substance...

  10. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    Conqueror+ replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would decline. If I wanted to remain an aide I wouldn't have gone back to school. Aide duties are part of my job at times but it is not my job. I like it that

  11. Calling in for no sleep

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who is often stuck covering shifts when someone calls in I honestly don't care why you are calling. Either way I have to get someone to cover you so what difference does it

  12. What do you hate most about your job?

    Conqueror+ replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    That I need it. It's like an ugly boyfriend with bad breath that pays your

  13. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Conqueror+ replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Why not? If there is a job listing for 7-3 or 7a-7p and I apply for it, why should I expect to work nights after I am hired? This doesn't make any sense to

  14. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Conqueror+ replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps its geographical. Where I live, night shifts have very high differentials so everyone wants those jobs. And since when is a day job hard to get? All of my local listings have a shift listed....

  15. Being blamed for fall after shift

    Conqueror+ replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing she should have done differently is to have notified MD that no alarms were available. Actually that is exactly what you said, if I misunderstood then ok. To be clear any phone call...

  16. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    Conqueror+ replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    P.S. My oldest classmate in LPN school was a chain smoking 64 year old grandmother and she made excellent

  17. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    Conqueror+ replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a common misconception that those with a GED are academically weak. The truth is that there are 100 reasons that kids drop out. I was a straight A student that ran track and was enjoying her...

  18. Being blamed for fall after shift

    Conqueror+ replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you guys work but if I called one of our doctors about a missing chair alarm I might be looking for a new

  19. Terminated. Pursue a Lawsuit?

    Conqueror+ replied to ERgirlynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have not read the last few pages of comments but my advice would be to work as much OT as you can and cut your expenses back so you can squirrel away cash in the event of license revocation or...

  20. Fired from first job..."not eligible for re-hire"

    Conqueror+ replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been 17 or more minutes late. 20+ years and counting. I am not saying this to brag but to say that you seem to be glazing over something important. You appear more interested in looking...

  21. So now what?

    Conqueror+ posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To the point... I have been a nurse for 20 years and am applying to grad school. I do not have anyone at my current place of employment to ask for a LOR. My DON has made her feelings clear about...

  22. Most marketable?

    Conqueror+ replied to Coffee&Tea&Me's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually its

  23. How much is a normal raise

    Conqueror+ replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    And I thought my 5% was crappy...oh wait it

  24. Hostile families

    Conqueror+ replied to KC,RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even though I knew what the title meant my second thought when I saw it was family members that were straight out of a horror

  25. Being blamed for fall after shift

    Conqueror+ replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    In all of my years of nursing I have never allowed myself to be held responsible for something that happens AFTER report/narc
