    Vent about scrubs

    xoemmylouox replied to NellieRN10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Scrubs are not flattering in general. I'm pregnant now and it's worse.. You have to wear bigger tops or you feel like you can't breathe. I have found that a t-shirt with a scrub jacket works best.. I...

    Facility penalty or not?

    xoemmylouox replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work EMR was transitioned in one dept at a time. That was a disaster! In the end it is worth it. I enjoy EMR. Docs refusing is nothing new. Those who are forced always find a way.. Believe me...

    xoemmylouox replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think in general people are very demanding. Some don't understand how busy we are while others simply don't care. We are creating a monster... Customer Service this, Press Ganey that. It's a...

    Do I need to give my manager notice?

    xoemmylouox replied to fsh1986's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NEVER tell your employer before you land a new job. They'll fire you as soon as they have a replacement leaving you jobless. It isn't easy to find a job right now. Start looking and go from there....

    4 weeks notice?
