    Breech protocol

    klone replied to XXXX5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right, either a physician will do it, or they won't. It's going to be highly individualized, and I'm doubtful that there would actually be a hospital protocol, other than "we don't do

    Generally speaking, this is not accurate. HR typically doesn't have quotas or a set number of people they "have to" interview, with the possible exception of senior leadership roles where the board of...

    Wrongway Medication Icons

    klone replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t understand the form and what you wrote. First step says “bottle icon (for administered meds)” and you wrote “incorrect”. But then further down you hand wrote “bottle icon is for...

    klone replied to Dperez201's topic in General Nursing

    So not true. It is totally okay to say “these are your results, this is what it means, your provider will be in later today to discuss what the next step is”. With the exception of results that...

    Does my manager know when I'm applying to jobs?

    What Certificates To Get for New RN

    No, they're not good ideas. As the previous poster stated, the TNCC and critical care certifications are not something you could even test for until you have at least a year or two of nursing...

    Idaho nursing

    klone replied to Bones1981's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing that Idaho facilities, like most other rural community hospitals, have a difficult time attracting experienced nurses, and as such, are constantly behind the 8-ball on staffing. BTDT....

    Even in union facilities, the probationary period is for determining if an employee is a good fit for the unit, and can be let go with no reason given whatsoever. However, a good manager would have...

    Negotiating Salary

    That's a tough one! Never throw out a number unless you've done your research first. I think it would be a little off-putting for them if they offer you the job based on what you said you'd accept,...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    klone replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    You're looking at it the wrong way - the wage does not decrease if you take incentives. The wage increases if you don't take the incentives. Many places do it like this. (my husband gets something...

    No, you can’t be picky. Yes, you should accept one of the positions that was offered to you. As an L&D hiring manager, based only on your post, you strike me as somewhat immature and I likely...
