    I'm gonna puke

    klone replied to Glycerine82's topic in Nurse Management

    Wow, okay. Congratulations! This is going to be a challenge, but I'm sure you're up to it, and your supervisors believe so. I've always been hired into leadership from the outside, never...

    How often can you transfer between floors

    klone replied to debcornett's topic in General Nursing

    It's highly facility dependent. A lot of places have a policy in place that you cannot transfer during orientation, or within 6 months of hire, unless it's due to not passing orientation and then it's...

    How do you know when to let a new employee go?

    klone replied to tippeny's topic in Nurse Management

    Oh, THIS!! One thing I've learned, NEVER EVER EVER terminate an employee without a leadership colleague or HR witness present. You would not believe the lies a person will make up about what took...

    How do you know when to let a new employee go?

    klone replied to tippeny's topic in Nurse Management

    Based on what you wrote, it's time to let them go. Sorry. I say this as someone who also works in leadership in a clinic setting right now, and had to do the same thing with a nurse in her...

    Would you consider this false advertisement??

    klone replied to helloanna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, it's not a bad sign, nor is it false advertising. It just means that their L&D census is such that they can't sustain the unit on JUST L&D. It's actually a very good model for lower census...

    Reality Check.

    klone replied to VaniCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    klone replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that just kind of part of "Adulting 101"? I mean, it's a skill that is needed in EVERY career, not just nursing. Ergo, it should be taught to all children and young adults, not just nursing...

    Is it legal?

    klone replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Call HR and request a copy of the union contract. There is no reason why they can't give it to you then and there. Legally there has to be a bulletin board at every union facility that has union...

    Is it legal?

    klone replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Collective Bargaining Agreement - your union contract aka the Bible. Your union works for you - it's totally worth it to give your steward a ring and just run it by him/her. Have you had a...

    MMJ Card

    klone replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    That seems a lot of hoops to jump through just to keep your medical marijuana card. How about just don't become a nurse, if it's that important to you that it will dictate your career

    MMJ Card

    klone replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    Proceed with caution. First, I would never tell a potential employer that you have a MMJ card. Period. Second, Tricia is right in that your employer might do randoms, or as a result of an incident or...
