    New Grad Still Looking For Employment

    StNeotser replied to HealthcareGuy's topic in General Nursing

    When I was looking for a job this past February some people didn't call me back until 2-3 months after I interviewed - and I have experience. Of course, I'd already found a job by then. Don't give...

    I am so frustrated.

    StNeotser replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're not a failure - please don't believe that. Hang in there and I'm sure something will turn up for you. If all else fails, try to network - is there anyone in your graduating class that got a...

    They can't take you because they're short staffed? I don't understand - does that mean a lack of preceptors? What area of the country are you

    StNeotser replied to pielęgniarka's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the LTC area we were a Methodist facility and we had a chaplain like this. I was told upfront when I started employment there that even if the family did not need the chaplain that...

    Do You Hate Being A Nurse?

    StNeotser replied to ButterPeacanRican's topic in General Nursing

    I don't hate being a nurse. I just hate being a customer service representative that doesn't get tips and doesn't get back up from management. I've been a nurse for five years and I've yet to have...

    Whoever invented scrubs, standup!

    StNeotser replied to OldMareLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to buy the cartoon ones you know. I've got some good cargo pant ones. Landau is good for lots of pockets. Funny though, you end up going through all ten of them looking for that one...

    StNeotser replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say, how about a family member loan you some gas money for the next couple of months? This woman is obviously getting to you. There are some pretty good answers in this thread, we all know someone...

    Do they count your 36 hours as 40 hours?

    StNeotser replied to xstalkrx's topic in General Nursing

    I do a baylor shift and I get paid for 40 hours even though I do 32 hours, two 16 hour shifts on weekends. It's considered full time for benefits and all. However, if I happen to pick up an eight...

    Safe Harbor/Unsafe Staffing Levels?

    StNeotser replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    I saw a similar situation happen to our night shift on Sunday where the nursing management was absolutely no help whatsoever. I think in that situation yes, the NM/HS should have stepped in. Asking...

    StNeotser posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi, I work at a LTC facility on weekends and wondered if any of you run into this problem. We have a patient that is post CVA and in for rehab who smokes. He wants to smoke about 9 times a day. Our...

    Tv shows that dictate nurses as a "janitor"

    StNeotser replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I've had a couple of patients wondering why I'm doing the Dr's job, such as hanging an IV. Normally by the end of their stay they're reasonably impressed that we do other things than bedpans...

    Anyone work in a "no smoking " facility?

    StNeotser replied to ruralnurs's topic in General Nursing

    Our smoking ban is not really enforced well. I had a 69 year old post CVA guy who was meant to be on supervised smoking over the weekend. I took him out three times during the course of my shift and...

    StNeotser replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing two 16hr shifts on Saturday & Sunday. However, I thought it was a federal law that anything over 40 = time and a half. I rarely pick up shifts during the week anyway but the one time...

    Baylor/Weekend reward questions??

    StNeotser replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    My Baylor is different, I get paid 40 hrs for 32 hrs worked. If I pick up an 8 hr shift then I just get straight time for it. However, anything over 40 I get overtime
