    Lost Job on Medical Leave

    xoemmylouox replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    They have no legal obligation once you exhaust your FMLA. OP was not fired and did not lose their position due to substance abuse, but due to absenteeism. I would apply to current job openings and...

    If you had the opportunity to plan a health fair, what would you do???

    xoemmylouox replied to LM NY's topic in General Nursing

    You can often get local nursing schools to send their students over for these. They can do B/P checks, glucose checks, cholesterol checks,

    MD to RN?

    xoemmylouox replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    I know how hard it is to match. Our local university is trying to get the hospitals to open more spots, but it seems to be a futile battle. They have taken it public, and I'm glad. Many don't know...

    Reapplication for NCLEX RN after getting denied.

    xoemmylouox replied to nursefromcali's topic in Nurse Registration

    I would think the reason you were denied would play a role in this. Maybe call the BON and

    Documenting Others Meds

    xoemmylouox replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there a reason for documenting this in EMR? Surely they had you guys using paper charting in the meantime. That information needs to be "scanned" into the EMR chart. Documentation needs to simply...

    Moved mom out of house: The story continues

    xoemmylouox replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I get it. My childhood was awful. Most people don't understand why I cannot move past this and just play nice with my Mother. My Father died a few years ago. I did make amends with him, as he tried...

    Getting Bored!!!!!

    xoemmylouox replied to nurseclh's topic in General Nursing

    Most kids will survive a move just fine. I say if your family wants to move, and everyone is on board - go for it. Be warned the GA BON can be a bit difficult and very specific about their licensing...

    The most jobs

    xoemmylouox replied to NurseIndependa's topic in General Nursing

    Three jobs is the most I have ever worked, and I have done that for years. One job is VERY PRN. The other two are consistent so no scheduling issues. I am (hopefully) going to be full time in nursing...

    House Fire

    xoemmylouox replied to ladytraviler's topic in General Nursing

    Also the United Way! In many places they have a direct emergency assistance line like 211 that you can call for help. I'm sorry for your daughter's loss by the way. House fires are

    Nurses thrown under the bus

    xoemmylouox replied to GM1928's topic in General Nursing

    Well it wouldn't hurt to get staff some education in regards to this, if you are going to be expected to care for patients with chest tubes. It is definately not just your fault. Everyone who cared...

    12 hr shift makeup routine

    xoemmylouox replied to RN_srs's topic in General Nursing

    I think I fit that ferrell description :) yet I don't care most days. I'm not looking for a hot date, and like many others, even if I tried, I'd look like a hot mess by the end of my day

    I Think I'm Pregnant

    xoemmylouox replied to shira9021's topic in General Students

    I don't see why it would need to be brought to their attention unless they try to place you with an unsafe patient. If you are worried about placement inform them

    12 hr shift makeup routine

    xoemmylouox replied to RN_srs's topic in General Nursing

    No makeup here. I'm way too cheap and my mornings are busy enough without another step added. I feel that if my scrubs are clean, my hair is washed, and I am upright - it's a start. I am always...

    Hardest part of nursing school?

    xoemmylouox replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    THIS 100%. The BS you have to deal with is worse than anything else. That of course doesn't mean the rest is easy mind you, it just is less

    Is it possible to get the holidays off?

    xoemmylouox replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I like have Christmas Day off because my grandmother has her dinner then, but otherwise I can work any and all holidays. I would love the extra $$$. However when I worked PDN things were different....

    So today I had the pleasure of seeing someone I already believed to be an idiot confirm it. We have a serious issue with people maintaining proper sharps containers. They over stuff them, don't secure...

    Today's cringeworthy event..

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I did. I'm sick of being at risk due to laziness and lack of safe judgement. I'm sick of being told I'm a bully and making a big deal out of something so small (says the manager who isn't at...

    That's just as bad as the foolishness I'm dealing with. How is that safe for anyone?? I wonder what OSHA would think of

    xoemmylouox replied to SarahEAW's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think that's a good start. My employer has a new wellness policy that you must meet certain goals or improve by their standards, or you lose your discounts for your health insurance. Not sure how...

    Following the Rules ... Broken System

    xoemmylouox replied to SarahEAW's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's not smart or fair to spout off numbers like they are facts, when they are simply numbers you made up in your head. It's how ignorance is

    Nurse considering law school

    xoemmylouox replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    I knew of a nurse who was also an attny. It worked well for him. He created a niche for his consulting services and made pretty good money working in an admin role. I think that things did get pretty...

    Today's cringeworthy event..

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I should mention she isn't a brand new nurse. She has a few years of experience under her belt, which I didn't think really mattered since even in nursing school they teach PPE, BBP, and...
