    "We don't hire male RNs" and other things you should never say to me

    klone replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sign prescription for MD?

    klone replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because it’s so ridiculous and egregious that they didn’t think it necessary to spell out. I bet “Don’t smother your annoying patients with a pillow” is not written anywhere on the...

    Two callbacks from same hospital - hopeful?

    klone replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's so weird to have HR gatekeep applications. I've never worked (as a manager) anywhere where that's done - I always am able to see all applications. I would not like that, as a hiring

    Question About HR Process & Frmr Employer

    klone replied to whydoidothisrn's topic in General Specialties

    ^^^^Yep. In spite of popular belief, former employers absolutely can say why you were fired and answer questions about you, as long as they're factual. One very telling factual question I'm often...

    Can manager call nurse at home regarding patient information?

    klone replied to Nise478's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that the manager texted the nurse, requesting a conversation (by phone) to ask a patient care question. Not that they were discussing the patient by text (the title of the OP is...

    Can manager call nurse at home regarding patient information?

    klone replied to Nise478's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as a manager, I absolutely try to avoid interrupting nurses at home during their down time, but if something crucial is missing/needed, then yes, it's appropriate. For example, I've had nurses...

    If you're new to L&D, you will not be expected to have NRP, ACLS, or fetal heart monitoring. They will provide that for you on the job, it's fine. Yes, it's absolutely possible to get into L&D...

    That's what we pay them for - to provide legal advice for work-related issues. There doesn't have to be malpractice in order to avail ourselves of the services we pay
