  1. Need job offer advice...

    iwanna replied to abbabask's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that you are still working in specialty area of your choice. It is outpatient, but I would think that you can transition into L&D when the time is right. Isn't it unusual to be paid more...

  2. Need some prayers....

    iwanna replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    My sympathy for your friend. You are a good friend in making prayer request. How sad for her to lose her mother now. Your friend is in my

  3. Forced to resign, looking for new job

    iwanna replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should try at SSA first and find out about filing complaint with the ADA. Also, what meds are you on for sleeping? I always preferred and still do prefer afternoon shift. And, it worked out...

  4. Job transfer with almost no notice!

    iwanna replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, it sounds like they have the opinion that they "own" you and could throw you anywhere. Now, you just are eligible to fill more gaps in this place. Like when they need you and where they need...

  5. Nicotine Test

    iwanna replied to NurseDianne's topic in General Nursing

    This is probably a dumb question, but I'll risk it. What if a person is on nicotine patch? Will the patch be low enough for the cut off to test positive for

  6. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    iwanna replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    At first, I thought it sounded like a control issue. However, I changed my mind after going back and reading the post again. It just says that he is uncomfortable, but not that he was angry, or...

    iwanna replied to iwanna's topic in Retired Nurses

    Thanks for all replies. I will give an update of what is going on with my nursing career. I have enrolled in an LPN refresher course, even though it is approx. 70 miles from me. There is a will,...

  8. Asked about orientation? Is that mistake?

    iwanna replied to tashby40's topic in Retired Nurses

    My class is on! I guess people just registered at the last minute. I had orientation on 9/3, and my classes willl start on 9/22. I am excited, but have a few concerns. For one, we are only allowed...

    iwanna posted a topic in Home Health

    I am an LPN, currently on disability for sarcoidosis. I have 5 1/2 yrs. of experience, mainly in behavioral health. However, I've had about a yr. experience of geri-psych pts. where some med-surg...

  10. Calling out sick

    iwanna replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it is terrible to just call off because you are tired from working. I rarely called off, and when I did I was very sick and/or communicable. If I wanted a day off, I would request a...

  11. Prayers for the hurricaine victims

    iwanna replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    My prayers to everyone. I could not even imagine living in that area. I really feel for those people. I pray that God will spare thses people from any damage from the storms. Many have gone...

  12. Stopping smoking? What helps you

    iwanna replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Smoking is someting that I have struggled with off and on. I have had long quit times, and would start smoking. I experimented with cigs for first time at age of 16. But, I never "inhaled" or...

    iwanna replied to tashby40's topic in Retired Nurses

    Yay, tashby! I have orientation on this Wed. I am getting nervous the closer it comes. My classes won't start until the 22nd. But, I just wish this school would have given me some more info. i.e....

  16. Bluetooth Headsets

    iwanna replied to pumpkin92356's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree that nurses should not have bluetooth headsets on while at work. However, I do own one, and I use it soley for the purpose while I am driving. I don't like to talk on the phone while I am...

  17. If you fail one class do you fail out of nursing school?

    iwanna replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in General Students

    If you fail one class, you do not fail nursing school. However, you will probably have to wait a period of time to repeat the course, as it won't be available the next semester. Well, at least that...

  18. Any Nurses recieving SSD/SSI

    iwanna replied to Poochee's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I was told by SSDI employee that I would have a trial period of nine months. They do not have to be in nine consecutive months. I know that I will be making over the $940 limit and forfeit the cash...

  19. license number question

    iwanna replied to chupacabracore's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, because your employer can check online to verify it. However, you will need to show actual license to HR. But, you can be hired once they verify it online.

  20. learning disability

    iwanna replied to beautiful21's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Congratulations on finishing HS and going back to school. The university that I went to had a learning center where they had tutors for about every class. I think that most schools have them. I was...

  21. Any Nurses recieving SSD/SSI

    iwanna replied to Poochee's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    agw505, What were the problems with the trial period? I am planning on using my nine months when I return to work. My plan is to take refresher course, as I have been out of nursing for four years....

  22. How many hours per week do you work?

    iwanna replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in General Nursing

    If you think that you will be bored with nursing and want to do it because it pays good, then please don't. Nursing is a career that if you don't have your heart into it, then why bother. You should...

  23. I am about ready to throw in towel for nursing job

    iwanna replied to iwanna's topic in Retired Nurses

    paddlelady, Thanks for your reply. I don't have the correct nursing initials for UR, as I am an LPN not an RN. However, I have registered for the refresher course that is a distance from me. I have...

  24. o my god. i hurt my back

    iwanna replied to ladyaskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps, at this point, maybe all you can do is find another dr. ASAP for your pain. And, as OP said do not tell them that you injured it at work. You can claim that you do not know why, but your...

  25. I think I crossed the line

    iwanna replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I can't see a tech flushing a line, maybe getting a BS. Also, bottom line is that of communication. Even it was in their scope, and I highly doubt that it is, they displayed poor communication...
