   Bad signs? New department

   Mavrick replied to ApplePineApple's topic in General Nursing

   Is there any way to learn EPIC before you start a job? I'm going to a new hospital that uses EPIC. My current one was scheduled to go-live earlier this year but the COVID Plague messed that all up. Any on-line or Youtube tutorials you would sugges...

   AZ PACU Contract plus Call

   Mavrick posted a topic in Travel

   Would like feedback on an AZ PACU contract. $1600/week total package based on 40 hours averages to $40/hr. No extra for housing/medical/relocation/etc. Call is, of course, expected and is above and beyond the 40 hours at $56/hr. I'm not out to squ...

   It's not clear from your post but are you already an RN?

   As a RN did you ever get paid minimum wage for a training?

   Mavrick replied to Marian96's topic in General Nursing

   I applied for a job at Kindred in Kansas City in 2003. They had a mandatory 8 hour orientation shift for which you were paid NOTHING!! I am still a bit miffed I did it then never got called for a shift.

   Honesty with Recruiter

   Mavrick replied to Xpectsuccess's topic in Recovery

   Well, I stand corrected. Based on the increase in "impaired driving" accidents in the state of Washington, I don't think it is a good idea to wait for an incident of "impaired nursing" to take action. How can you ****** prove it was the use of mari...

   Honesty with Recruiter

   Mavrick replied to Xpectsuccess's topic in Recovery

   Totally irrelevant that marijuana is legal in any state. It is a federally controlled substance and it's use subject to criminal prosecution. Also, no BON will allow use of marijuana by its licensees. And also, no reputable healthcare employer will ...

   Felony

   Mavrick replied to SexyMaleNurse's topic in Criminal

   I suppose OP didn't really ask a question just a very limited-option poll. I would agree, the BON in question will determine what is or is not a sealed record/felony. Unfortunately so many of these inquiries don't write follow ups here on AN so I'm ...

   Exactly what I was thinking. You still have clinicals just like everybody else. First things first .... take care of your back, you will need it.

    Math question help please!

    Mavrick replied to Ashleyherberth's topic in Student Assist

    Is this exactly how the question is written?? The body weight/day part is totally unnecessary and just sounds kinda weird. Anyway, I think your math is right. Can't explain why the book doesn't agree.

    Also don't use your cell phone to write your resume. (The only reason I can think of that this post has so many typos and grammar errors)

    High School Student Trying to get into a Direct Entry Nursing School

    Mavrick replied to wondur's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I can't think of why a "direct entry" is so important to you other than you think once you get in you can just coast on through. If you haven't improved your study skills to better than "not the greatest", you will flunk out of a direct entry school ...

    HR for facility. Not for employees.

    Mavrick replied to Angelsofmercy's topic in General Nursing

    Without a Union to go up against HR you got nothing. Stop whining and complaining. Everything you say will be used against you. And they ARE out to get you. Company needs are prioritized way above yours. Keep your head down and move on.
