  2. What I don't like about my job-Interview

    GrumpyRN63 replied to certma's topic in General Nursing

    seriously though, they really dont want to hear anything negative, so you'd have to turn it around into a positive "i'm a real team player and find it may be challenging to work in an environment...

  3. What I don't like about my job-Interview

    GrumpyRN63 replied to certma's topic in General Nursing

  4. Yale New Haven

    GrumpyRN63 replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Last time I checked new grads were starting at 26+ for YNHH, HSR a little higher, parts of the ancillary staff are unionized- like dietary, not nurses. Yale offers great benies and great orientation...

  5. I am not ashamed

    GrumpyRN63 replied to NurseBean73's topic in Correctional

    I absolutely LOVE it. I have worked in oncology for the better part of 16+ yrs, but nothing compares to home hospice and actually feeling all of my skills and experience are being used at every visit....

  6. 14 months and I should have never become a nurse

    GrumpyRN63 replied to crazdmomof4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree, you freaked b/c it was a coworker/friend, it definitely makes a difference. When I was a new nurse a coworker came in for the noc shift and coded right in the report room, we did a full code,...

  8. I am not ashamed

    GrumpyRN63 replied to NurseBean73's topic in Correctional

    I've never worked in corrections but it has interested me from time to time. I would think corrections would be an awesome starting point, I'm sure you'll see and learn a lot, I would definitely...

  10. HIV+ residents

    GrumpyRN63 replied to mo_07's topic in General Nursing

    Are you eating his pre-chewed food?? I don't get the concern again w/ the pre-chewed food?? If YOU had the open sores AND were eating his pre-chewed food, you might want to stop, you still probably...

  11. No Smoking Campus

    GrumpyRN63 replied to TRAMA1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our facility barely enforces it, funny thing is though, they never enforce it in the front of the hospital, people smoke within 10 feet to the entrance, but I have seen them enforce it in the back...

  13. termination and pto benefits

    GrumpyRN63 replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    I would just check with your HR dept, should be cut and dry, but if the other nurse shouldn't have gotten it but did, so should you. Then I would file a grievance, that's a good months pay, don't let...

  16. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    GrumpyRN63 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! That's pretty scary! In response to your post, I can honestly say I sure wasn't prepared 20+ years ago coming out of a BSN program, caring for my 1 patient during clinicals. Theory, theory,...

  17. Abusive relationships and nurses

    GrumpyRN63 replied to Nacki's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there are two separate issues here. I think nurses are the type who like to try and fix things and help people and THAT may get us involved in an abusive relationship. I see this with nurses...

  18. to report or not to report...

    GrumpyRN63 replied to kristi13618's topic in General Nursing

    My vote is not report, Hands and Heart said it all, no proof, just worry about doing your job, I don't see any need to CYA in this instance. Even if the rumors are true, it doesn't mean she is still...

    GrumpyRN63 replied to pdaddy's topic in General Nursing

  24. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    GrumpyRN63 replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    The OP must be buddies with the poster who started "nurses past their prime". Both very judgmental and prejudiced. I try to judge people based on their character, integrity and value system....
