    ADON having sex with CNA

    klone replied to AWorley80's topic in General Nursing

    Re: the bolded - THAT is what you should address. Insubordination should be brought up the chain of command. And if the ADON won't do anything about it (for WHATEVER reason), go above his/her head to...

    ADON having sex with CNA

    klone replied to AWorley80's topic in General Nursing

    Plausible deniability. Unless you witnessed them in the act at work (at which case it *is* reportable) you have nothing but

    Taking a sick day after giving notice

    klone replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    In your first post, you specifically said that you were concerned that the hospital would refuse to pay you for that sick day. That's why people responded the way they did. ETA, except that this post...

    Charge Capture at Discharge

    klone replied to Kenmore1009's topic in General Nursing

    OP, why would you consider an accurate assessment of supplies used to be an an ethical issue? Everywhere I've worked, nurses carried some responsibility in this, although as others have said, it was...

    A manager's perspective "I talked to my mgr about XYZ and nothing was done!"

    klone posted a topic in General Nursing

    I saw this in another thread that's active right now. I wanted to address it, but that thread is pretty big and I didn't want it to get lost, because I think this is important, and a sentiment I've...

    Salary talk

    klone replied to jgl0813's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I can't speak for how it is now, but in 2011 when I went from UCHealth (was just UCH then) to Children's, I took a $1/hour-ish pay cut. So Children's has to be in there on lowest wages as

    Doula training to get a job in L&D??

    klone replied to kierstennn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would recommend lactation training over doula training. It is a more marketable skill to have in

    New nurse in L and D need advice

    klone replied to enfermeratobe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What happens after his six months of schooling is done? Where will he/you be at that time? It's difficult to get a job in OB as a new grad, so I would definitely try to stay at that job as long as...

    How does an experienced nurse transition to Ob/gyn nursing?

    klone replied to sarita78's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the previous poster to reach out to hiring managers personally if possible. Also, consider relocating to another area that has a nursing shortage. Many smaller hospitals would love to...

    Do nurses use "Linked In"?

    I've never used LinkedIn, but I do have a resume always on Indeed and Monster, and I regularly get head-hunters contacting me based on

    Will I get hired anytime soon?

    klone replied to Kgrela89's topic in General Nursing

    8 applications in 8 months is not enough, if you actually WANT to find a job. 8 per week for a few months, and I bet you will find

    Annoying Employee

    klone replied to FLorida_624's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP did not specify that crier was an RN. I'm guessing she was an LPN, and the OP (also an LPN, about to complete her RN) supervises her. Or DID supervise her, as the case appears to

    is this really bad nursing judgment?

    klone replied to mlss94's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One thing stood out at me: "Hey, I'm just the nurse" You clearly did not agree with the physician's order/judgment, which is why you questioned it with a few people. Always remember that you have your...

    Written up

    klone replied to SassyRN93's topic in General Nursing

    I assume "Just Culture" is their incident reporting process? I find it ironic that it's called that. If this is your first error, I think a write-up is a bit harsh. No, one internal write up is not...

    Continuously Reapplying to Departments You've Been Rejected From

    klone replied to purplegal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Speaking as a hiring manager... Being currently employed as a tech at your current hospital, where you have apparently applied for over 30 positions, and not being hired, is very telling. Hiring...

    Social media privacy breach?

    klone replied to kiwinurse18's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Unless her actions change, she will end up getting fired at some point in the future. Perhaps a Come To Jesus with a clinical instructor will help prevent a bigger problem down the

    Looking for a Online RN to MSN Program

    klone replied to Nurse Lizzy's topic in General Nursing

    Any assumptions I made were based on what you said in your OP. If you had said that you had aspirations to become an NP, my advice would have been different. That said, I would still recommend doing a...

    Looking for a Online RN to MSN Program

    klone replied to Nurse Lizzy's topic in General Nursing

    You should not go into an MSN program just for the sake of going into a program. You should go into an MSN program because you have aspirations to further your career, whether that's advanced practice...

    Pregnancy and lifting resrtictions

    klone replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've heard of this. 20-25 lbs. is the typical weight restriction we would give pregnant patients when I worked in clinic. Really, though, nobody should be lifting that on their own, without some...
