    WGU - BSN online, legit?

    klone replied to Amiiiracle's topic in Western Governors University

    They are very well-known and respected for their online RN-BSN and their MSN programs (I received my BSN and MSN-Leadership through WGU). These programs are for people who are already working as RNs....

    Number of RCA Meetings

    klone replied to Stilgar's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, it's the leadership that does the meat of the work, and they will invite floor nurses as subject-matter experts for *a* session for an hour or

    Calling off on two week notice?

    klone replied to Kalypso22's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to check your current hospital policy. At many facilities, you are not allowed to use any PTO during your last two weeks of notice. If you call out, you may have to take it

    Masters Degree with no specialty at FAU?

    klone replied to SENSUALBLISSINFL's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm unclear what you mean by "no specialty" - if you're referring to the program at FAU, that program's specialty is nursing

    I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    klone replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly what I was going to say! Additionally people with tonsiliths will get "poop" taste in their mouth when a stone is forming or is dislodged. But to me it sounds like a coincidental dental or ENT...

    Clinical failure for something I couldn't help?

    klone replied to teachable's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous poster. Also, getting an unsatisfactory on a paper that you did not turn in on time is also reasonable. Unless you had a death in the family or were in the hospital,...

    Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction

    klone replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a believer that if nurses are satisfied, enjoy their jobs and their colleagues, and have good leadership, then it will trickle down to patient

    The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    klone replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    To me, being on the floor helping out, answering call lights, pitching in when there's an emergent situation, is a very important part of being an effective manager. Once in a while there are days...

    Unfriending Fever

    klone replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember going into the ED once because I had influenza and was afraid it was turning to pneumonia. The triage nurse took my temp and it was 104. She asked me when I had last taken something for the...

    Do you sign your credentials when working in different specialty?

    The only time I sign with a credential is when I am doing something lactation related, such as a consult with a mom. Then I will sign RN,

    The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    klone replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    The problem with that is that you're a rare bird. I'm the same as you. But I've come to realize, as a manager, that most people are NOT like that. Most people WANT that connection, want their manager...

    What was the REAL reason you called off

    klone replied to Orion81RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our state has weird labor laws - if you ARE sick, the first 40 hours in the calendar year are protected. If your CHILD is sick, you don't get any disciplinary action at all. So yes, in my state you do...

    Preventing call-ins

    klone replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Commuter. Also, I see no value in grilling people regarding their call-ins. If they aren't coming in, they aren't coming in. It's ridiculous to have a pissy attitude towards them. I take...

    Preventing call-ins

    klone replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our facility has a pretty lenient policy, yet I think it weeds out the people who are habitual caller-offers. In a rolling 12-month period, if you have 5, it's a verbal; 8 is a written; 10 is...

    What was the REAL reason you called off

    Labor nurse and lactation consultant?

    klone replied to Tayabee1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I did this as a labor nurse. I got my IBCLC with no real intention of doing consulting fulltime, but rather, to be a resource to other nurses and the fulltime LCs. I've never regretted doing it....
