  2. When the hospital kills people

  3. random drug tests?

    embarrasingfield replied to carrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I believe they are just a heads-up to not do illicit drugs, as your job will be in jeopardy if you test positive. I don't think facilities ever do anything truely randoom without a reason, but its...

  4. striking nurses

    embarrasingfield replied to amandasdad's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  6. Professional Health Monitoring Programs

    embarrasingfield replied to RN508's topic in Nurses Recovery

  8. Worst job interview ever... funny.

    embarrasingfield replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think its to their discredit that they did not continue the interview and not make such assumptions about your nervousness. Perhaps you had some sort of vagal response. Who knows, obviously they...

  11. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

    embarrasingfield replied to mummasheesh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The state I am in (I guess I'm not supposed to say where) treats nurses like criminals, they are guilty even if proven innocent. Of course, disciplining etc. is posted on the websites, but they take...

  14. HELP!!! Just had my eval from admin.

    embarrasingfield replied to OPCC's topic in Nurse Management

    Its my opinion that Nursing overall has a very low incidence of Professionalism. Women in general can be back-stabbers but for some reason, nurses can be the worst about this. I have been a nurse...

  15. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

    embarrasingfield replied to mummasheesh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I already answered a post similar to this one but I'd forgotten about another nurse I worked with in VA. She was treated horribly by the Board of Nursing there. The judgement is pretty harsh....
