    I forgot to return blood to the bloodbank

    klone replied to Marie_N's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, not your responsibility!! Did your manager REALLY say you might get written up or fired for this?? I'm pissed on your behalf. This was clearly a process/communication issue. Whoever physically...

    Employer used my photo without my permission on social media

    klone replied to Guest915876's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like facility-wide (re?)education is in order regarding your policies surrounding photos. The facility should be required to obtain a signed media release form prior to sharing any photographs...

    klone replied to HUN18's topic in General Nursing

    And I want to be clear: you have NOT FAILED. They are failing you, and all the other new grads they're training by giving such a short, barely-scratch-the-surface orientation in such a critical,...

    ADVICE. New grad L&D Nurse

    klone replied to HUN18's topic in General Nursing

    Well, crap. 12 weeks to learn L&D (HIGH RISK L&D, no less - not even "normal" births), mom/baby AND circulating for C/S? That is NOT ENOUGH TIME. For anyone. Plus, as a NEW GRAD!! That's...

    relocated & want to go back!

    klone replied to christinand's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I've just done the same thing. My husband and child are back in the previous place for another month or two, which makes it worse. It's scary, and really really stressful. But you will be a better...

    RN, ADN being obsolete

    klone replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    False. There are many areas of the country that do not have reasonable proximity to BSN programs. The associates trained nurses are the ones that staff these small communities' Hospitals. If they...

    I've been at AN for over 15 years, since I decided to apply to nursing school. In my time here, I've gone from nursing student, to fledgling novice OB RN, to a skilled and expert L&D nurse, to...

    Which job will help me reach my goals?

    klone replied to dhbrn's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding of utilization review (and please correct me if Im wrong) is that it deals primarily with inpatient hospital stay. With that in mind, I would think that looking at the entire spectrum...

    Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    klone replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Is this fair move for my immediate supervisor to report me as noncompliant?
