    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse forced to work as a tech/CNA

    klone replied to ThatOneRN_'s topic in General Nursing

    There is no such thing as "CNA duties" - they are all nursing duties, and there are just some tasks we are able to delegate to others. In many areas of nursing, there are no CNAs and the nurses do all...

    How many jobs have you had in your career?

    klone replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I've been an RN for 15 years. I've held 9 jobs in that time. Wow, that sounds like a lot. Two jobs as an L&D floor nurse, one in perinatal research, two jobs in ambulatory clinic leadership, and...

    New Employer

    Oh, lord. Seriously? The time to tell them about your schedule needs is during the interview. If I were the hiring manager, I would be quite pissed for wasting my time and would probably let you

    Scope of practice in the OR, am I the only one that sees a problem with this?

    klone replied to jamiebell's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with the previous poster. This comes down to patient safety, and that's everyone's concern. Also, if you were aware that CSTs were working outside their purview of training, and there is a...

    Fair practice?

    klone replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think I’d call it “unfair” but it does seem unwise from a budgetary standpoint to be paying RN wages for a tech role. Are you and/or the techs in a union? Because that would...
