  1. Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    manager123 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a manager and seeing this happen to family members applying for positions. The "no call back" from employers and disconnect between HR and managers for open positions is all too common....

  2. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    manager123 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is quite the 'all about me' pity party isn't it? Absolutely fascinating that you dare call yourself a leader. You and your attitude are why nurses are leaving the profession. Not only are they...

  3. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    manager123 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Reading through most pages of this post (I skipped a few), one area is not clear to me. Does the other area not have a shift charge nurse and reasonably competent staff? If so, they should only need...

  4. What would you do?

    manager123 replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know if references are collected by phone or by an anonymous survey with questions to mark and a box to complete if desired for "additional information"? In some states, if references are...

  5. Interpreting New Director Behavior/Personality

    manager123 replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I have managed to stick out a horrid director in my lifetime. However, she was a temporary manager and I was hoping that she would not be the permanent one. Completely different personality than our...

  6. Suspended from work for an investigation,can i resign and take another, will i look guilty

    manager123 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    I am a bit confused. You were terminated because of ONE medication error and a negative drug screen? I think you said you took a drug test but did not see the results. BON will typically not care if...

  7. Told to fake vital signs

    manager123 replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dear caring CNA who is going to be a wonderful nurse, document your request for common equipment in writing to the DON. Staff should not have to count on 'sharing' personal equipment. In that email...

  8. BSN with recent dui denied to sit for the nclex California

    manager123 replied to Timboslice's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    California is not a compact state. Since the DUI is recent, you might need to talk to a lawyer. It will be worth the expense but make sure you are talking to a lawyer with experience for CA BRN...

  9. My Mom passed away. Did I do the right thing?

    manager123 replied to LovingMom1's topic in General Nursing

    You are an amazing daughter who provided care that was above and beyond. Sadly, our moms don't live forever except in our hearts. Please reach out to talk to someone. Surprisingly even our funeral...

  10. Confused

    manager123 replied to jenal77's topic in Emergency

    There are a variety of preceptors out there. Some are nurturing and caring and others will do as little as possible for their preceptee. Having a preceptee can slow 'their' routine down. . . the...

  11. Confused

    manager123 replied to jenal77's topic in Emergency

    Do NOT leave it off your job experience or work history. All employers do background checks and this will show up. In some states, this is enough to terminate you or fail to hire you because you...

  12. lying about clinical hours

    manager123 replied to astrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Many posters seem to think this person will fail boards. What if he is a great test taker and passes? Review courses can be fabulous in helping students at all levels pass required boards. These...

  13. Wondering if I am eligible to get into the nursing program

    manager123 replied to Tiffrose's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    IF you were truly never charged or you were a juvenile and are able to seal your records, this does NOT need to be disclosed in applications or entrance issues. Once the record is sealed, the charge...

  14. Wondering if I am eligible to get into the nursing program

    manager123 replied to Tiffrose's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yes, retain a lawyer or look for lower cost legal aid (perhaps with paralegals?) that can do the necessary research to see if you truly have a record of any type. If you were a minor (under 18) there...

  15. Lost stethoscopes

    manager123 replied to mthiga's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the neon colored tubing. Once I bought a bright neon pink stethoscope, I never had an issue. Even the doctors wouldn't borrow it! Bright yellow, green or whatever really did the trick....

  16. Can you be forced to be charge nurse?

    manager123 replied to yourfuturern22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Use it as an opportunity to grow. In the ideal world, you would get some time with the charge nurse (preferably on that same shift) to go over the extra duties expected. At a minimum, ask for a...

  17. I'm Stuck - Need to Make a Quick Decision

    manager123 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I think the bigger question I would want to know is "Did your program become accredited?". There can be changes to meet accreditation standard changes. The online vs on ground controversy is an...

  18. Why Can't She Stay Here? Getting Kicked Out of Inpatient Hospice

    manager123 replied to jeastridge's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    My experience is on two fronts. . . caregiver and family member/caregiver. Families struggle with the fear of the unknown. Concerns about the ability to provide the care needed (after all they are in...

  19. Transporting Patients from ER to Floor. Your Process?

    manager123 replied to melmacrn's topic in Emergency

    Just curious as this is a hot topic here as well. Why is it ok for the floor to leave to go to ED for transport (and probably leave the floor out of ratio) if the ED is concerned about out of ratio as...

  20. Being blamed for fall after shift

    manager123 replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have a few thoughts: Whether assisted or not, if the butt hits the floor, it is considered a fall in my state. Did you give report on the patient to the other nurse? Did other nurse call for help...

  21. Male graduate and pinning

    manager123 replied to Rn 1979's topic in Men in Nursing

    I had a wise professor who may have summed up what graduation means. The actual ceremony is not just about "you". it is a way for your family and friends that supported you on the journey to see the...

  22. 11 years ago, positive UDS, can I get a job?!

    manager123 replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    A new grad RN on probation may have a difficult time getting that first job. Many employers are not willing to start a new hire with "baggage". However, there are many out there that will. It might...

  23. Unencumbered license to practice on applications...legal?

    manager123 replied to glass_houseRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For many employers, they will work with their current staff on these issues. They have formed a relationship and know the staff will follow through. New hires are a roll of the dice and since the CNO...

  24. 11 years ago, positive UDS, can I get a job?!

    manager123 replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is a difficult situation. Read the application carefully. There may be phrasing in there that indicates something along the lines of less than truthful could be grounds for immediate termination....

  25. Residency or orientation - difference?

    manager123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure where this post really should go so just throwing it out in the general public for comment. New RNs today are often being told by their schools to "enroll in nurse residency new grad...
