    Bedside Report

    klone replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Probably. already addressed, but if you are working greater than 12 hours in a shift, you will get OT for that, even if you work less than 40 hours in a work week. Depends on the individual work rule....

    Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    klone replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    Then it sounds like you either are not "cold and uncaring to everyone" or you at least have enough self-awareness that you can fake it effectively. As long as you are able to do that, and you're...

    Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    klone replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    Have you actually been diagnosed? There's a huge spectrum between "cry myself to sleep at night when a patient dies" and "cold and uncaring to everyone." You don't have to be the former to...

    Unit Manager and ADON Disagree on Priorities

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    For leaders, they often don't carve out time for you to do them, you're just supposed to figure out time on your own. That's why I try to get them done before I do anything else, otherwise life and...

    How much would you hate me if you were my manager?

    klone replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nurse Management

    As a manager of a clinic, I am as frustrated by reading all that as you clearly are. Regarding the first part - I am firmly in your camp with regards to free sharing of pay rates. I am the FIRST one...

    Unit Manager and ADON Disagree on Priorities

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing the online modules are new hire compliance stuff. They often have a deadline for completion, which is often just a few days after you start. So while I understand people's ire, she...

    How Do You Politely Communicate With Employees That You Aren't Available?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You don't know the half of it. Unfortunately, the OP has a years-long history of micromanaging her employees, per her posts

    How Do You Politely Communicate With Employees That You Aren't Available?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    That is brilliant. Silverbells, with all gentleness, I would suggest that you have fostered and encouraged this behavior by being the person who has to do all of it, and who is the only one who can...

    How Do You Politely Communicate With Employees That You Aren't Available?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I actually have a sign similar to what Davey Do posted, that I hang on my door for when I'm in there with my door closed. It has a front and back. The front says "Not doing anything super important,...

    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just you. It's ALL OVER THE PLACE. It seems that most people on the internet don't understand what "freedom of speech" actually means. So if that makes you dumb, you're in good (?) company....

    Would licensure be possible?

    klone replied to guest1199856's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Housing for travel nurses

    klone replied to Lebi's topic in Travel

    The OP might be taking the housing stipend instead of having the agency provide the housing. You can make more money that way, because you can often find housing cheaper. The drawback to that, of...

    You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    klone replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    No, I haven't practiced since about 2007. I didn't enjoy the business end of things, and I felt like it was unfair to my customers. My sister, who would help me with production, bought the business...

    klone replied to MaleNurse53's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a mistake to make a decision about your future and your specialty after being in a role for only 3 months. I personally would recommend anyone give it at least a year before making such...

    On the other hand, could you imagine a group of lawyers doing such a thing? Part of the issue is a 22yo kid can be an RN. Undeveloped prefrontal cortex, and all

    I would fire them too. Not necessarily for having the bad attitude about the patients, but for having the ***ing horrifically poor judgment to freaking put it on freaking Tik Tok. How stupid could you...
