    Casual vs. parttime

    klone replied to srd_1999's topic in General Nursing

    The down sides to casual is - no benefits and PTO, and no guaranteed hours. Right now I'm sure the hours are no problem, you probably have more shifts available than you want or need. It's not always...

    Just Got Hired But Want to Go Per Diem in Order to Travel RN

    klone replied to EatCake2Day's topic in General Nursing

    As a manager, I would be pretty livid if a new employee who I hired for a full-time role and just got off orientation told me that she wanted to go per diem. And I would probably say "Well, sorry. I...

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    klone replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It is, but I fully understand that anyone who knows me well IRL would be able to identify who I am if they really wanted to. What's funny is most nurses I know IRL have never heard of this website....

    Were you a bully in high school?

    klone replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    This post makes me irrationally angry because it completely delegitimatizes bullying as something that's benign and everyone does it. Bullying is real. It's been around since kids have been in...

    Vaccination Mandating

    klone replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I should have said that we’ve never been through a pandemic of this scale. I.e. quarantines, lockdowns, cessation of air travel, in-person schooling and workplaces coming to a grinding halt, etc. I...

    Vaccination Mandating

    klone replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've only read the first page of comments. Our organization (very large health network in the upper midwest). is mandating the vaccine. They previously did not go as far as to say what would happen if...

    klone replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL! Guess you're wrong, because we're doing it. We have never done it before because we've never lived through a pandemic. Modern. problems call. for modern. solutions (sorry, my period key is...

    Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    klone replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still putting out fires, but at least now, all fires take place between 7a-7p, and never on Sundays. Whereas before, there were 24/7 fires, and I often had to come into work on weekends. I...

    Were you a bully in high school?

    klone replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    Not me, I was one of the bullied because the school bullies didn't like my hair or my style (I was "punk/grunge" in the 80s, with shaved hair and retro clothes that I bought second-hand). I was a...

    Assigning Admissions Among Nursing Staff

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You're the manager, you should not be taking admissions. On the other hand, if you're asked to assist with a quick task because everyone else is busy (such as moving a patient to the bed), you should...
