    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Accused of Gossiping

    klone replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not pretending anything. My whole premise is that the OP deserves to be given specific examples of her behavior, or it should not be used to discipline or deny promotional

    Nurse Accused of Gossiping

    klone replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't that be horrific if that is what happened in the OP? They were talking about a TV show or a book or something, and someone overheard and misinterpreted it? THAT is why the OP deserves to hear...

    How do I get into mother baby?

    klone replied to spaulson1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My only advice is to just keep applying. You may need to consider relocating to a different community - is that an option? I can tell you that smaller, community hospitals in more rural or isolated...

    Your manager is showing really poor leadership skills. One of the number one rules of performance evaluations is that the evaluation is NEVER the first time one should be discussing a performance or...

    What is your organization's attendance policy?

    klone posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you have a policy where it involves progressive discipline for repeated absences, and it looks at absences over the last X months (6, 9, 12, whatever) and the oldest drops off after X months, could...

    Mandatory Overtime?

    klone replied to guest1135744's topic in General Nursing

    Are you staying beyond your agreed upon shift (e.g. you start at 8 and work an 8-hour shift, but they tell you that you have to stay until 7, so you end up working an extra 2 hours) or do you start...

    Labor and Delivery Nurse: Job Description, Salary, and How to Become One

    klone replied to Nurse Nhi's topic in General Nursing

    This is inaccurate. L&D certifications (as with most specialty certifications) are not things you get to become an L&D nurse. They are things you may get after many years of being an L& D...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I need to vent for a moment. I am SO ***ING ANGRY that people keep defending her without knowing the facts of the case. In union negotiations last week, the lead negotiator for the union side made a...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Your comments indicate you are completely unfamiliar with the facts of the case. The system for dispensing medications was working just fine. The root cause is the nurse bypassed MULTIPLE warnings and...

    LPN or Surg Tech ?

    klone replied to Kayla Swaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just checked, and my organization pays scrub techs about $1/hour more than LPNs. However, getting your LPN would provide a more direct pathway to becoming an RN if that is your ultimate...

    LPN or Surg Tech ?

    klone replied to Kayla Swaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you mean by "clinical nurse"? As far as hireability and job security, definitely go with surgical tech. They are in SUCH HIGH demand, everywhere. However, as a surg tech, you will be...

    Do endorsed licenses show up any differently from a directly obtained license from the state?

    klone replied to F Mo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Nursys shows where your original license came from and where you endorsed to later. They can also figure based on dates licensure was granted. Nobody cares, though. As long as you have...
