    Orders from hell...

    klone replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, some still do. They just can't blatantly call it that in black-and-white anymore for litigation reasons. Some physicians would call during the shift and ask what the pit was at, and get pissed off...

    Injection Gone Wrong: Part 1

    klone replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Management legally offering union, what does that mean?

    klone replied to Coumarin's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Are you sure he didn't say/mean that he needs to offer you union REPRESENTATION? Because when you were hired, you were likely automatically joined into the union. But any time there is any kind of...

    Hospitals in Denver

    Yes, they are very much LGBTQ friendly. They have some type of certification on it (it was happening just as I was leaving last year). I don't think you would encounter difficulty with the...

    Hospitals in Denver

    klone replied to bbmeg02's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at Denver Health until last year. There has been a pretty big shakeup with a new CEO and from what I've heard, serious financial difficulties. Last year I would have recommended working there...

    Where should I work to prepare for L&D?

    klone replied to emmjayy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wait, are you asking where to WORK, or where to do your capstone? If your interest is in L&D, I would try to get your capstone in L&D. For what it's worth, I went into OB right after...

    On call and 16 hr labor law

    klone replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Nursing

    Do facilities in your state routinely schedule people for regular 16-hour shifts? Because I can't think of any scenario in which a nurse would work 16+ hours *except* in an on-call

    On call and 16 hr labor law

    klone replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a 16-hour max law, then you shouldn't be able to/have to take more than 4 hours of call after your 12-hour shift. So you should never need to work more than 4

    DNP to BSN

    klone replied to ludonco's topic in General Nursing

    The DNP trumps a BSN. I have never heard of anyone being turned down for a job that requires a BSN when they hold a HIGHER nursing degree. That you've heard "stories" sounds very specious - those...

    Anabolic steroids and STDs
