    Maternity discrimination

    xoemmylouox replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are going to have a hard time finding a job that will hire you. That doesn't mean it is impossible, but unlikely. You won't qualify for FMLA so you're job is not "safe" if you take a...

    The Ship Is Sinking

    xoemmylouox replied to beachtomountainsRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad that you find yourself in this position. Know that you are not alone. I too feel as if I am on a sloooooowly sinking ship, but I feel we can recover and turn things around, and even have a...

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah and that my employer will continue to reward the laziest and most useless employees.. While demanding more from the rest of us to make up for their lack of work.. In fact said lazy person just...

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That school this semester might just overwhelm me, making me doubt my superwoman status.. My husband did remind me that I am pregnant; with a toddler, dog, and husband at home; while also working two...

    No babies for this NICU nurse

    xoemmylouox replied to angrykitten's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I worked in peds for 6 years before I had kids of my own. I was frequently asked if I had kids. Many were just curious. There were a few who we nasty about it. I would often joke about not needing any...

    LPN being scheduled to work as CNA....

    xoemmylouox replied to bebbjo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would start looking for another job if you do not want this to continue. Sadly many employers do not care about their staff and will use and abuse you until you wash out. Then they will do the same...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    xoemmylouox replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Do you take the flu vaccine yearly? If you do not, what is the reason you do not participate (if you don't mind answering this question)? Yes. Does your employer have a mandatory influenza...

    Report me???

    xoemmylouox replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked over 60hrs in a week for years. It of course varies, but more often than not I do. It's how we pay the bills and keep my hubby at home with the kids. I don't mind it as if I was at home...

    plagiarism??

    xoemmylouox replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the documentation should be exactly word for word of another nurses, but sometimes there is a lot of change to write about. It's no biggie to me. It just appears at the "copier" is lazy...

    Paid Vacation Time

    xoemmylouox replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be waiting 5 years if I was full time... unless my pay and other benefits made up for it. There are many other agencies out

    Help! How do I study these gigantic chapters!?

    xoemmylouox replied to Godizmydad21's topic in General Nursing

    See I didn't take it in a negative way at all. Your school counselor/guide/advisor is there to help you. That's their job. I think Been There, Done That offered advice not everyone else was going to....

    Attorney contacted me about lawsuit

    I would prob. contact your nursing insurance to give them a heads up as well. Nothing may come of this, but it never hurts to have someone on your

    KINDRED HOSPITAL

    xoemmylouox replied to lvn4me2011's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My Father passed away at a Kindred "Hospital". It could have very well been that he was going to die anyway, but I can't be sure that the care he received wasn't the cause of his demise. I have to say...

    Start new job next week, but don't have my schedule yet

    xoemmylouox replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like my current manager. I guess if nothing else you are prepared knowing what kind of a leader this person will be. All I can say is be persistent. I am aware my manager is "forgetful" when...

    Nursing is becoming stupid

    xoemmylouox replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't work because these schools are pumping out new grads to fill all of those empty spots. Until that situation slows down, nothing will improve for

    Hourly Rounding--pushing back

    xoemmylouox replied to CharmantUn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Of course it makes more sense to have hourly rounding than to staff appropriately. That way they can seem as if they are making changes to improve scores, without having to actually fix the problem....

    Over stressed or burned out? What's the difference?

    xoemmylouox replied to Oedgar's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I guess I haven't thought at what point stress becomes full out burnout. I know many of us reach the point of it at one point or another. I believe for each person it is a bit different. For me I...

    What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    xoemmylouox replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Important! Need answers

    xoemmylouox replied to PCFR411's topic in Cardiac

    The problem is that different abnormal rhythms require different interventions. We can not tell the OP what every single abnormal rhythm is going to require. PP is trying to encourage the OP to learn...

    Kids are amazing.

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in General Nursing

    Unprepared interviewer

    xoemmylouox replied to armygirlabn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I always try to remind myself that while it may seem like some interviews are a waste of my time, those are the times when the company shows you their true colors. The interviewers are representatives...

    In a pickle

    xoemmylouox replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    With my employer you have to inform you manager before you even apply. If you do not and HR finds out, they will pitch your app. I'm going to guess that if the staff know, your manager most likely...
