Is it typical for them to expect you to use PTO for hours you're not working? Yes. Either that, or go unpaid. Is it typical for hospitals to treat staff like widgets to move around at their whim, with no regard for the fact that people need to make a living and pay their bills? I would say it's not COMMON, but it's not unheard of. It's more typical to see this at for-profit hospitals, or places that don't have collective bargaining. As JKL mentioned, whether it's acceptable to you, and whether the benefits of continuing to work there outweigh these factors, is something only you can answer.

Getting a BSN will not make the ASN "go away". You still have to disclose from which school you obtained your original degree that granted you licensure, every time you apply for a new license. As far as jobs go, that's hard to say. I mean, the people who initially look over your application are just human and particularly if it's in a different state, may not question things. When I look at applications as a hiring manager, I don't even pay attention to the school. I just care about whether you have your nursing license and can easily endorse to my state. However, my organization uses a 3rd party to do background checks, and it might come up during that process. It would most certainly come up when applying to my state's BON for endorsement. I'm sorry you're in this situation.

How far away do you live from a city (like, greater than 50,000 people)? What state do you live in?

Agree with Lunah. If you are not providing patient care, then it's unlikely you need to be licensed in multiple states. In fact, is licensure REQUIRED to do what you're doing (not referring to what the company's stated job requirements are, but legally)? Typically, chart reviews don't REQUIRE licensure, simply the expertise that generally comes with licensure.

How does one get 20 daisy awards in 6 months? LOL

A shadow experience is not working. Shadowing is not interacting with patients, it's literally SHADOWING. If you trip and fall, it would be the same as if you were there as a visitor and you tripped and fell. I'm surprised you do not see the value of it. Don't you want an opportunity to see "behind the curtain" of a potential workplace?

W T F. You should find a job elsewhere. The level of disrespect is breathtaking.

She's forcing her to resign, or she's firing her? How does one force someone to resign? What if she declines to resign?

Unfortunately, with only 5 months of employment you do not qualify for FMLA. Does your state offer its own protected medical leave? Call your employer's HR/benefits/leave department and ask what your options are for intermittent leave. You may have to quit your job. Working while vomiting every 30-60 minutes is not sustainable. I'm sorry you're having a hard time. The fact that you developed a fever suggests that you actually had an illness, rather than just vomiting due to migraines due to pregnancy. So it's possible that as this illness passes, so too will the migraines and N/V.

MFM clinics are OB specialists that focus on high risk pregnancies. So you would ideally have a foundational knowledge of pregnancy complications and how chronic illnesses could affect pregnancy. I'm not talking about the common complications like pre-eclampsia or GDM. More like higher order multiples, mothers with cardiac disorders, twin-to-twin transfusion, other chronic illnesses that could affect pregnancy like autoimmune disorders, pre-existing diabetes, substance use disorder, HIV.

This is so true. My second formal management position, I only lasted a year. The week I was hired, the small community hospital was bought out by a for-profit healthcare corporation based in Tennessee. I don't know what executive leadership was like prior to that, but in the year I was there, I was incredibly micromanaged by the CEO and CFO, they were constantly trying to trim staffing, to the point where I could not safely staff my unit, requiring me to come in frequently to staff. I have accepted that a somewhat *** work/life balance is part of the job, but this was next level. I was staffing, or at least coming into put out fires, more weekends than not. Like I said, I only lasted a year in that role, and then left to do interim leadership work for a few years, where I could be less emotionally invested in what I was doing.

Yep, AHA requires that BLS also have a hands-on skills portion.

So in answer to your question - no, obviously. A certification in high-risk obstetrics is not required for a nurse to take care of these patients. That is why they work in tandem with an ICU nurse - so that these patients' conditions (both their pregnancy, as well as their condition that deems them high risk) can be safely managed.

There currently isn't any high-risk OB certification. However, one is in development and we hope to roll it out possibly in 2025.
