    Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    martymoose replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    martymoose replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Id leave that off and not mention it at all. Or you could put it on there and say it was not a good fit. Id try leaving stuff off first and see if that gets you anywhere. I wouldnt offer info unless...

    Emotionally unbalanced supervisor?? Please help!

    martymoose replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would guess that HR is quite aware of the revolving door, and from reading things here on AN, that it is like this everywhere. I'm sure that's why they employ full time HR Reps. It's quite clear...

    martymoose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    well, Im glad to see it isnt like this in other places. I for one, if I was a patient, would not want canned scripted conversation. I just cnt believe the suits think people will give better scores...

    Don't be an Autobot

    martymoose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And they wonder why there is an opioid addiction problem in the US. Just last night, I had a patient DEMAND "dilaudin" for her pain, and the doc happily wrote up the order for it. Part of the...

    Don't be an Autobot

    martymoose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Encouraged? I'd say more like mandatory if you want to keep your job. We are told " this is how it will be, and its not going to go away" We even have little script cards that we are supposed to have...

    martymoose replied to Happynurse2222's topic in General Nursing

    Never chart this

    martymoose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we just have to remember to chart objectively- I mean if thats what we see, that's what we see. And anything that the person says goes in quotes. I mean, pertinent

    When To Specialize

    martymoose replied to hayleygoff's topic in General Nursing

    martymoose replied to wisconurse16's topic in General Nursing
