    This person outranks me?!

    klone replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's what I was thinking as well. I'm an RN with an advanced degree and I do think I'm a pretty smart cookie, and I wouldn't know the answer to #1. As far as #3, if you're a male, unless you...

    Anyone ever lived and/or worked as an RN in Ecuador?

    klone posted a topic in International Nursing

    I'll try this again - I asked about a month ago about living in Mexico (and of course, the overwhelming response was how dangerous Mexico is). We've since done more research and have revised our plans...

    Any managers out there?

    klone replied to silencieux's topic in General Nursing

    Even though orientees aren't counted in the nursing numbers, they ARE counted when determining productivity index (PI). I can tell you that when I have two nurses orienting/training during the same...

    Need some input please.

    klone replied to Pjones71's topic in Chamberlain College

    DO NOT DO IT. You will have your RN in 3 years from now, starting the nursing program next fall. You can be working as an RN in 3 years, and you can immediately enroll in a BSN program at that time,...

    How much is a normal raise

    klone replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    Those posters who are suggesting "job hopping" are generally talking about changing jobs every 2-3 YEARS, not months. If you have a history of only staying at a job for less than a year, you will...

    Rejected hours after an interview

    klone replied to edilleyrn's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is either you did spectacularly horrible in your interview (which you would likely know) or they already know who they're planning on

    Landing first nursing job with 3.2/3.3

    klone replied to nrsingstudent18's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care about your GPA. I don't even know what your GPA is unless you volunteer that information. What I care about: do you have your RN license? How do you present yourself at your

    English As A Second Language

    klone replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    I am? When did I say anything of the sort? I believe you have me confused with another poster. And you're incorrect, nobody is required to use native speaking interpreters, only interpreters that are...

    Advice please :)

    Hospital Ad Campaigns

    klone replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have Pandora playing about 8 hours a day. Definitely get the ad-free. Also, if you weren't aware, they have a station called "thumbprint radio" which is all your "liked"

    Relocating: Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or Denver?

    klone replied to Leona5's topic in Colorado Nursing

    If you want to be closer to family, you should move to where they live. If they live in Fort Collins, moving to Colorado Springs, which is a 3 hours car ride away, isn't particularly close....

    bad interview

    klone replied to c6ndy012's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because I am a reasonable person and I go under the assumption that most other people are relatively reasonable as well, and YELLING at an applicant during an interview is not the actions of a person...

    Resigning

    klone replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand what the questions in italics are. Sorry, your whole post was a bit TL;DR for me. Short and sweet. "I am tendering my resignation. My last day will be X. Sincerely, Hazy Blue" If...

    She YELLED at you? I'm sorry, I have a really hard time believing it went down exactly like you say. And if it did, then do you really want to work for such a person (that was rhetorical, the answer...

    Shift covered, not covered

    klone replied to msannaa7711's topic in General Nursing

    In our unit, it would be the responsibility of the person who agreed to cover your shift to find coverage. Once the "shift swap" form is signed by both nurses, it's a done

    Worst things about being a Nurse Manager...?

    The HARDEST part of my job having difficult conversations with staff - performance, behavior, etc. The WORST part is probably what feels like endless meetings, and never feeling like I'm caught up...

    Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE)

    What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    klone replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    No, I would instead find a different job. I would never work somewhere that would reduce me to tears before each shift. Life's too short for that
