Not sure what to do with an issue I have with my supervisor.

redhead_NURSE98! replied to afarmer's topic in First Year After Licensure

I put a note on the door for UPS and FedEx that says "NIGHT SHIFT, please do not ring doorbell unless I have to sign for something, thanks!" One time the state road rang anyway, to accuse us of...
Just got hired for my dream job but... I'm pregnant!

redhead_NURSE98! replied to xxlilkacixx's topic in Ob/Gyn

Take it, I just hope you don't work for people like some of the ones in this post. Also, if it's a new employer and not just a transfer to a different job in the same employer, be aware of the leave...

Silly me, I expect corporations to follow the law or suffer the consequences. What do you think float pools and PRN are for? What do you think agencies have been making hella $$$ off of for years? I'd...

This is true, and I'm the best cat mother EVUR. I would cut my manager's ankles off and run out the door if my husband called me at work and said my cat was puking. My cat NEEDS

I will sound insensitive for the sake of brevity, but....nah, she can piddle on a paper pad if she can't bear her own weight and she's hurting people. I'm sorry but it's a safety issue in more ways...

That's kind of my beef...everyone has to come out person after person and tell us just how extremely important their role as parent is...one person says "I need to be there if they go to the...

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

Uh, it's ILLEGAL to do what was supposedly done, it's NOT related to their job, and no one's required to tell about their pregnancy. They can be big as a beach ball and if they can do the job they...

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

I like how even you know that what you did was illegal. You're weary of it because you don't really have much of a defense for it. And you being a parent of 7 children makes it that much more...

Disgusted - wipes for bathing

redhead_NURSE98! replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

We like to get around it by only dipping a washcloth in the water one time and then using a new one. Uses about 5-10 washcloths for the bath. Guess the linen cost is higher,

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

People who are not in any sort of protected class can't be discriminated against, in the legal sense. It's unfortunate for those of us who don't have kids, or are men, but that's life. I had to lol at...

I thought she said the pt was using the phone or texting, but I didn't go back and re-read. And the person below me has a good point: how long are physicians or NP's actually in the exam room with us...

redhead_NURSE98! replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

Well, they apparently have a sign forbidding cell phones beyond a certain point in the office. Maybe your doctor's office doesn't have one but hers does. She's just enforcing rules. Maybe if more...
