    Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    chevyv replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    I've been wondering how your boss could get any info from a place she does not work at. She could be some psycho calling to find out if and when your there. I would wonder if I want to work for a...

    scared to death

    chevyv replied to NewPICURN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Has anyone ever felt intimidated around older nurses or the DON? I'm not really sure why, but maybe it's my respect for them and my feelings of inadequacy, but I just feel intimidated. Can anyone...

    Wife with BSN with NO drive, what to do??

    chevyv replied to Tony1790's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, that was extremely honest! I like it. Many of us are in the same dead end relationships but continue trudging along. Your not alone and sounds as if you've gotten over 'it' a long time ago....

    Supervisors that gossip!!!

    chevyv replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Me thinks this is not legal.... How wrong of people, especially that work in health care, to think it's ok to spread your business. With HIPPA being tossed around every day and still when it comes to...

    MEOW! Catty nursing students

    chevyv replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    If someone doesn't take the time to say 'hi' when they see you during an externship all summer, so what? Yes, it's rude but perhaps a better response would have been "I learned so much and had an...

    chevyv replied to 2jen's topic in General Students

    chevyv replied to Trinago04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry you've been going through so much. Do you think that you have some test anxiety? Maybe you should look into something that can address some test taking strategies. I recently took my pn...

    chevyv replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can tell you that you have now joined the scores of many that play the waiting game. It doesn't matter what types of questions the computer handed you and you can't read anything into it either. You...

    LPN to RN Online Openings

    chevyv replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I called and requested info. I didn't see that they are accredited though. I'll see if I can look them up. You do need to have worked full time for 6 months or part time for 1 yr (which leaves this...

    chevyv replied to NursePeace's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should consider quitting before you get fired..... It seems like someones got your butt and they sure do want to kick it! I didn't know you could get fired for 1 med error. Was it life or...

    Wife with BSN with NO drive, what to do??

    chevyv replied to Tony1790's topic in General Nursing

    I think your wife might find working at McD's just as stressful. I have a friend who works there and she's exhausted, not to mention the demanding customers, weird hrs, and the fact that she can...

    chevyv replied to bebe0586's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mistake?

    chevyv replied to shy_wolf101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my experience, hospitals pay more and I believe its because people tend to be pretty ill and all staff needs to be on top of every pt. CNA's do more technical duties in hospitals. When I was a...

    I think I crossed the line

    chevyv replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    As a tech, I would never flush an IV and I always tell the nurse the blood sugar (good or bad). Its very important to be a team and tell each other what is going on. I can see your frustration, but...

    Pre-pouring meds ... am I wrong?

    chevyv replied to aznqtpie's topic in General Nursing

    Surely, there must be more than 1 key in the place. Some higher up must have a master key. Sounds weird, but if they knew this for so many hrs, why couldn't someone go have a key made, or have the...
