    Private Pediatric Practice

    xoemmylouox replied to ace003's topic in Pediatric

    Any job as a new grad is a good thing. If you can get a job in acute care, and that is what you want to do - great. Acute care is not for

    accused of verbal abuse

    xoemmylouox replied to missyelaine02's topic in General Nursing

    I find it hard to believe the state investigated you. If often takes months to investigate very serious matters, let alone a complaint of verbal abuse. I would contact a lawyer before calling the BON....

    Accused of narcotic/ alcohol abuse... No clue what this is about!

    xoemmylouox replied to Purplegiraffe's topic in General Nursing

    You need to hire a lawyer ASAP. You need to make sure they have dealth with the BON before. This (a legit complaint or not) is a serious matter that can lead to consequences. The BON is not your...

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been a loyal employee to my current employer for over 5 years now. My current manager has pretty much been my manager this whole time. I have always done my best to go above and beyond, be...

    Manager Woes

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well nearly 3 weeks in and now she is speaking to me again. I'm going to guess HR informed her I wasn't getting the job - of course they haven't said a word to me yet. I'm so sick of this BS. It's...

    Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    He's a stay at home Dad. He has done a little of everything - his favorite things were welding because of the $$$ and cleaning because he's a fanatic about it - and was getting paid. :) None of the...

    Spiral Femur Fx in toddler

    xoemmylouox replied to lahryn18's topic in Pediatric

    If there is ever a chance I report it. It isn't my job to play detective and decide who is honest and who isn't. If something is off I call it in - regardless of what my employer or the physican...

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    It was a bad week at work. That I REALLY need a vacation away from work but need to bank up PTO for my maternity leave. That I REALLY miss several of my coworkers that have recently left. That I am...

    Doctors yelling

    xoemmylouox replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    You do not have to tolerate this. I worked with an MD who would treat some like that. He felt superior than just about everyone else in the world (he was pretty darn smart). Regardless.. If you would...

    HH agency harassment after I quit!

    xoemmylouox replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    I would see what they want. It may be that there is some documentation you did not complete, something they need you to turn in, etc. If it is an easy fix I would rather deal with that than the BON....

    Special Snowflake!

    xoemmylouox replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kinda fond of the term. I think it describes many of them well. I also like COB. It is the PVT threads that I just can't take anymore - "I JUST walked out of the testing center and I HAVE to know...

    This is a placenta...

    xoemmylouox replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    They need to frame the painting and hang it in the child's bedroom. They also need to bronze the placenta and also put that along side the painting. That way the child can be forever

    xoemmylouox replied to allilop's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know of one couple that it worked out well for.. She was a nurse and they met while he was in med school. She supported them during his time of med school/residency. Then he supported them and she...

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    xoemmylouox replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNAs are part of the team of care - not the nursing team, but the healthcare team yes. I do have a problem with CNAs doing IV care, NG feedings, and phlebotomy - I don't know of any programs that...

    Help! LVN License Renewal in California

    xoemmylouox replied to SandandSandwiches's topic in General Nursing

    When you say it "just" expired how long ago did it expire? I would contact the BON ASAP about renewing your license. You can get in trouble for working as a nurse when your license is

    Can I be rehired?

    xoemmylouox replied to sunkistisawesom's topic in General Nursing

    I would NEVER all out lie. It is a small world. It is not unreasonable to think someone who worked at your past employer isn't working at the one you are applying to, especially in HR. You can be...
