    Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    Not at all, I’ve never been management in my 14 years, always bedside. But I’ve also been that nurse who always has to care for the tele patient, or the spinal fusion patient, or the...

    RN ADN

    Maybe you're just venting to vent and don't want any advice or words of wisdom....we've all been there. But if you're looking for actual advice, encouragement, words of wisdom, recommendations,...

    HCA StaRN contract

    Did your contract mention specifics about their obligations to you, such as a 5 week
  7. There is nearly zero scenarios where this will end up being good. If the only thing keeping you there is feeling guilty about their investment, run out the door. It is a facade. ETA: To appeal...

    Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    That's not how it should work though, not just with tele patients. That's not how other nurses learn and grown their knowledge base either, but not taking care of specific patients. Plus what do you...

    And even then, they probably won't fix it! But its not your burden to worry
  10. When filling out the application, you do not have to "prove" anything for any of the requirements. However, if you were ever audited you would have to provide supporting documentation at that point. I...

    DOC Guilt-Tripping Me To Accept Call-Ins

    I must be a robot then! But seriously, my time of ever feeling guilty out of obligation came and went a long time ago. It is a freeing
  15. This is awkward, considering the only one showing "thoughts and hate and shade" in this thread is you when you thought a reply was directed at you when it wasn't ? but I'm glad you've had a more...

    Mother-baby nursing VS pediatric nursing

    I think you have your answer there. Read through this site and you'll see getting a mother-baby position, let alone a new grad residency, is a rare opportunity. Go for it and learn to not listen to...

    New Grad moving to another state

  20. I think this will vary from facility to facility. In the beginning, I imagine most places would only take volunteers like my current hospital is doing. However come next year, I think it will be...
  21. Not rude at all. Be prepared that there is the possibility that they may say
  22. Another cause could be that whomever you interviewed with and had the discussion about nights only did not pass that information along to the other management/leadership team and/or people who make...
  23. I would have a really hard time imagining, and a hard time understanding, if the answer was yes. In fact admittedly, I would hope the answer is no. But that means nothing - it is up to each individual...
  24. A big jump to question my comprehension capacity. I was genuinely asking the question
  25. So do you also believe in the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy for heterosexual coworkers? Would you have an issue if a heterosexual coworker mentioned “blah blah blah my husband blah blah...
