    If you were or had been terminated...

    Where I work they wait until the end of your shift.
  2. I have heard from several new grads that they landed jobs in ICU/PICU/CCU right out of school. Some places like to train you "their way" and don't want to deal with any "bad habits" someone has from...

    More ignorance. Any wonder the public is confused!

    Is there a flu outbreak in your area?

    It's horrible here too. We are running out of the vaccine so there is a mass panic by patient's and families. I just want to put myself in a

    Are Managers against nurses?

    It may seem unfair, but covering one shift just to leave another one empty doesn't work. Next time when you offer to come in keep in mind that you have to work

    Pros and Cons of your job?

    I think having some experience should help you land a job in another specialty. If you float you would see how many different departments work. Also try to read through the posts in the specialties...

    Angry Nurse here!

    Shoot when food comes up missing here we know it's the docs who steal. Now that really ****** me

    Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    "My 3 year old pooped 3x lastnight. Today nothing". (Did you call your child's PCP?) "No we came here instead" The child was up running around. No pain, no change in appetite. Of course at that time...

    Board of nursing

    I would call a lawyer ASAP. I'm surprised they are charging you with neglect for this one

    Confessions of a Job hopper

    You definitely have jumped around, but so far it doesn't seem like it has hurt you much. I would slow things down though. Eventually this will catch up with you. Hopefully you'll enjoy this current...

    Hospital paying for schooling?

    My employer offers $1,000 a year max. They will only cover 50% of the cost of a class and only if that class improves you as an employee. So not all healthcare classes are

    Charting/Documentation

    It may be that she doesn't understand how important it is to document. You can always try to sit down with her and explain why it is important to document. It may not change her opinion, but at least...
  16. I would contact them and see what they say. I find it doubtful that your plan would work though. Best of lucking in getting and staying

    Mouth crud

    Emetophobia

    I'm not afraid of vomit, but if a patient vomits food up I'll gag and sometimes vomit myself. I either trade patients or suck it up and make the best of it. You will encounter vomit in nearly ever...

    LPN to RN alternatives?

    Wow I cannot believe they won't allow you to attend their program because you failed one class. I wonder if that means you cannot fail a class through them. When I was in my LPN program you could...

    Anyone else bored??

    I can't tell if I am just bored or burnt out, but YES I am needing a change. I dread going back to work on my days off so I don't get to enjoy those. We are short staffed so no one can get any needed...
