  1. Utilization review, are other companies better than this?

    Innocent2021 replied to Blucat's topic in Case Management

    I think some companies don't care where you live. What you have to find out is if they will train you online, or if you will need to be onsite. I just started doing this work, and the beginning was...

  2. Falsely Accused Of Patient Neglect

    Innocent2021 replied to Anna0029's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you found another position. Being a nurse does not mean that you are to be disrespected. Respect yourself and leave. I would file a

  3. Short notice

    Innocent2021 replied to SN2432's topic in General Nursing

    Have your letter ready and just tell her. You are doing the right thing for yourself. Nurses always feel guilty when they do something for themselves. Don't look back. I wish you great peace and...

  4. Exposed to patient positive with coronavirus

    Innocent2021 replied to IRN2011's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. Go over the heads of those involved, all the way up until someone listens to you. You did not sign up for suicide. You cannot properly care for patients without the appropriate PPE....

  5. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    Innocent2021 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You told the story here...you were treated terribly. I hope your assignments will be fair in days to come. Keep everything written down. Memory fades. You should keep a record. In addition, you...

  7. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    Innocent2021 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You need to follow your intuition. We can't be judging each other for leaving, whether young or old. Everyone must do what they feel. Don't put your family at risk if you are very fearful of this....

  8. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    Innocent2021 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Really, because they are more at risk? Evidently they don't work at my hospital, we ALL take the covid patients. The older nurses are more

  10. Considering Quitting my Job

    Innocent2021 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think you have to give a reason. If you do, you are a kind and generous person, anyway. You will find another job. Protect

  11. Considering Quitting my Job

    Innocent2021 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Beautifully written, and I think you speak for many of us. Everyone has to take care of him and herself, because ADMIN is not going to do it for us. I took care of a woman recently who was admitted...

    Innocent2021 replied to DesertRosee's topic in Disaster Preparation

  13. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Innocent2021 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, you will find it best to keep your true feelings sometimes to yourself. Some of us have our thoughts written all over our faces, so it may be challenging. You don't owe co-workers a thing,...

  14. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Innocent2021 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am sorry this happened to you, but its a good lesson. You never tell anyone your wage, and keep a lot of your personal life just that. Nursing is quite competitive. You will make some wonderful...

  15. Am I supposed to hate my first nursing job??

    Innocent2021 replied to StevietheRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, I would try to stick it out, keep the money. I have no doubt its hard, that's why turnover is so quick. I hope you have peace about whatever decision you make. Once you decide, stick to it, no...

  16. Am I supposed to hate my first nursing job??

    Innocent2021 replied to StevietheRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can relate. I hated my first nursing job. We actually had cna's at that time and a couple of orderlies! They put me in charge right out of nursing school, 30 beds and I had to keep up with the...

  17. LifePoint Duke Hospitals-Anyone work for one?

    Innocent2021 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

    I would say look for something else. It is all about the money, but the money won't be for you. Hospitals that offer large sign on bonuses do so because its a last ditch effort. I know from...

  18. Coworker having access to my password and charting

    Innocent2021 replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is illegal and you have rights. Go to risk management, fill out a report asap . I have never heard of such

  19. New icu position

    Innocent2021 replied to Jrodri01's topic in Critical Care

    You have to manage your nights. Have everything ready ahead of time, and do lie down before working the first night. Even a two hour break with feet elevated will help. Take healthy food to work:...

    Innocent2021 replied to mmc51264's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes it did happen to me, the daughter of a woman who was dying proceeded to call me a *****, l oudly when I asked that the family (about 20 people) come back in twos. I later ended up not only...

  23. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    Innocent2021 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to you for bringing up a topic so many are interested in. I wouldn't be insulted by such an ad. Along with the saving of lives, we do tote heavy bags of linens every shift, carry meal trays at...
