    Someone with insight into bonuses

    xoemmylouox replied to texasmum's topic in General Nursing

    Pre-employment drug test

    xoemmylouox replied to bellabonita's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wouldn't waste my time or their money. They won't hire you if you don't have an RX for that medication. You took two so there is a good chance it'll show up. Next time don't take meds that aren't...

    Am I nuts to want a PRN SNF job?

    xoemmylouox replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see them hiring you for the floor with your education, but it's always worth a shot. I think PRN or part time would be fine for some extra

    "cutesy" printed scrubs - staff response?

    xoemmylouox replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    More and more places have solid color dress codes. I have NO problem with colored/patterned scrubs. In fact many patients enjoy them, and they can be an ice breaker or provide some distraction. I have...

    Nurses and their....HAIR!!!!

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

    I have hair that does hit my shoulders. Sometimes I have it up, sometimes I don't. I wouldn't worry too much about the nurse with pink hair. The fact that they nag at you and allow this will make you...

    Patient safety

    xoemmylouox replied to Magjr's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't see how this would be out of your scope. Most likely (as usual) your facility is just trying to scare you/ cover themselves. Call your malpractice carrier, but I doubt this will lead anywhere....
