    Job Application-Asks for info on current supervisor.

    klone replied to JJKTY's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's quite common and normal for people to request that you not contact your current supervisor. HR understands this, and the reason why. I don't think you will encounter a problem if you select the...

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    klone replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Macawake. I felt like I was in an alternate reality. If anyone in a professional setting whispers "Hello, beautiful" to me, they have lost their right to being treated with kid gloves and...

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    klone replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    You need to be CLEAR and DIRECT. "Your attention and behavior make me uncomfortable, and is disruptive to the workplace. Please do not seek me out for conversation anymore. I would like our...

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    klone replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    You think whispering "Hi beautiful" is kind of hard to tell what his intentions are? OP, I agree with others who have said that you need to verbalize clearly to this person that his attentions are not...

    ADN L&D position

    klone replied to belle980's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, it's not true. Some hospitals require new grads to have a BSN to work on ANY unit, but there is nothing unique or special about L&D that would require a

    MSN in Nursing and Healthcare Leadership jobs

    klone replied to Linzie0406's topic in Nurse Management

    If I were to do a business type degree, I would want it to be healthcare focused. Either a healthcare MBA, or an Master's in Healthcare Administration. There are quite a few certificate programs out...

    Dosage calculation question

    klone replied to RNSAINT41's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There's the "book" and there's the "real world" answer. The book answer is 2.27 (or whatever is your school's policy on rounding). In the real world, you would administer 2.3 ml, because 2.27 would be...

    Do healthcare administrators know one another?

    klone replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    I interviewed for a job 4 states away. Very hush-hush. It got back to one of the directors at my current hospital (luckily, she gave me a stellar recommendation and kept quiet about it until I...

    L&D vs OBGYN

    klone replied to JuliannaJ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it says L&D, then it typically is just L&D, as many places have an L&D department that's separate from postpartum mom/baby. If it says OB/Gyn (and it's an inpatient facility, not a...

    Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    klone replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to what Ruby said above, I think it's unfair that you call what she did/said as "doublespeak." She changed her mind about being "copacetic" about the situation once she realized it was...

    "Hallway admissions" at overcrowded ED, and professional risks of RNs talking to press

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are definitely less risky ways to go about whistleblowing or effecting change that would protect one's job. Unless of course that particular nurse didn't care about the repercussions of...
