    Will I be fired?

    klone replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if how you react/respond to people here is any indication of how you interact with your coworkers, I have a better understanding of why they may perceive you as

    Will I be fired?

    klone replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    I did not interpret that as racist. I think they bring up a good point. Based on your writing, and your username, I am guessing that you were not born here in the US (I am assuming you are in the US,...

    I believe "hostile work environment" has to involve "illegal discrimination."

    Illinois Nurses Speak Out for Patient Safety: Hospital Retaliates

    klone replied to Doris Carroll's topic in General Nursing

    That's an unfair generalization. I have been in management since 2013, and the day I forget my roots is the day I leave management. I regularly work the floor alongside my nurses, so that I can see...

    please help

    klone replied to Joseph Matthews's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is very little that anyone on an anonymous message board can do to help you. Can I ask why you waited 4+ years after graduation to take the NCLEX? Honestly, being out of school for 5 years, and...

    Accused of Falsifying Vital Signs

    "Unlike me" is not the same as "I have never done that in my life so I KNOW I couldn't possibly have done what they accuse me of". Which is

    Sports Psych Nurse NP?

    klone replied to sweetindo's topic in General Nursing

    What would a sports psych nurse NP do? PMHNPs work in a variety of settings. If there is a need, then sure. I'm just not exactly sure what that

    Illinois Nurses Speak Out for Patient Safety: Hospital Retaliates

    klone replied to Doris Carroll's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious whether the hospital in question is for-profit or "non profit" (yes, a quick Google could tell me, but wanted to know if the OP knows). Also, how many beds does that hospital's ED have? 45...

    Is Tiktok the New Dr. Google?

    Signs of Toxic/Unhealthy Workplaces

    YES. Everywhere I've been a manager, there are always a couple people who go above and beyond, have the respect of their peers, have expertise of the running of the unit, and basically can take...

    Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

    klone replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agree! In the OB world, LABOR, and DELIVERY, are two separate events. So the labor can be very much NOT spontaneous, but the delivery is.

    Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

    klone replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I once saw something similar to this in a chart. Only to an OB nurse would this sentence make PERFECT sense. ? The G5P1122 at 38w2d (LMP and TVUS) here with FOC for IOL with TOLAC. Hx of PPROM,...

    Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

    klone replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Spontaneous lady partsl delivery just means that the delivery itself was without any assistance (I.e. forceps or vacuum). The alternative to SVD is VAVD (vacuum assisted lady partsl delivery) or...

    Normally I would completely agree with you. However, right now is not normal, when it comes to HR and hiring organizations. They are desperate. They are ALL desperate. Right now is probably the BEST...

    I would like to work in labor and delivery. What should I specialize in?

    klone replied to knikki's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There really isn't a point in doing both WHNP and CNM, because CNM can do everything a WHNP can do, plus they can catch babies. So if you want to do women's health and catch babies, then just go for...

    Absences - Insomnia

    klone replied to 6244444's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, one does not qualify until they've been at their job at least a year, and it looks like OP cannot get FMLA until early next year. Also, you can take it with pay if you have the...

    Even though you don't yet qualify for FMLA, your organization may have a intermittent medical LOA option. Talk to HR about what your options
