    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    klone replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But if they state they fired her because she created a hostile work environment due to her discussion about salary (using your example from above), they just made her case for her. And I also know...

    California even has its own separate code regarding NLRA law: Nine other states (Colorado included) also have their own language upholding federal law (not that it's necessary, as federal law...

    First, it's called an "at-will employment" state, not a "right to work" state ("right to work" refers to unions). Secondly, even in an "at will" state, you cannot just fire anyone with impunity. There...

    Salaries for L/D nurses in Denver area

    klone replied to mamagui's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know. I had serious sticker shock when I moved here from AZ. I took a $4/hour paycut. Of all the facilities, Denver Health has the reputation of offering the highest salaries in the Denver area for...

    Pyxis error

    klone replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    True, but they can fire you if you don't comply. And if y'all think I'm being draconian here, I urge you to look up the policy at your facility of clinical staff under suspicion of being under the...

    YEs, but did that come back the day she was escorted home, or did it come back

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    klone replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Except that, as evidenced by this thread, many facilities DO have policies where salary discussion/disclosure is considered "against policy" - which would make it really hard to argue when a written...

    I'd still love to see it happen. A good attorney could easily prove that it was due to the salary disclosure, assuming there was no documentation suggesting that there were any performance

    Can a nurse advance to healthcare administration positions?

    klone replied to contemplations's topic in General Nursing

    IME, nobody goes into nursing to become a manager. Or, if they do, they're doing it for the wrong reasons. My advice to you is to graduate from high school, go to college, and if you want to be a...

    Pyxis error

    klone replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    It makes perfect sense. At our facility, if an employee is suspected of being under the influence, they are not allowed to drive themselves anywhere. They must accept a ride home from someone else,...

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    klone replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But in the case of the OP, I think she could make a very good case for it being the reason she was fired, seeing as how the manager TOLD her that she just caused a big problem by disclosing her salary...

    I'd love to see that, and the lawsuit that would result! It's against federal law to prohibit employees from sharing their salary with others, or to retaliate if they do

    klone replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This bears repeating! YOU DID NOTHING WRONG, legally or ethically speaking. Your manager is spinning it so that you are the one at fault for all this. If pay was fair and equitable at your facility,...

    klone replied to historylovinglpn's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there, Hx. Kind of a crappy thing for someone to say, basically, "Why would they want YOU?? Must be something wrong with them!" Glad you chose #2, and it absolutely is NOT bad to sacrifice in...

    klone replied to jmsrn16's topic in General Nursing

    If neither is a compact state, then you will indeed be licensed in both states. Yes, I would probably go ahead and start the process for licensure in RI if that is where you live. Just checked - RI is...

    Doctor stole my stethoscope

    klone replied to ayejay09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You really believe a physician took it intentionally with the intention of keeping it and not giving it back? Or do you think someone took it to use and forgot to return it? If you know a physician...
