  1. Going from OR to ER?

    jollydogg_RN replied to PandaCookiesRN's topic in Emergency

    I have been on my own now in the ER for about three weeks, not at a level one. I just switched from the OR after being in it for a little over 5 years, circulating and scrubbing a little at the end,...

    Seriously. That’s what I keep wondering, LOL.

  4. To be a coward, or to be a fool?

    jollydogg_RN replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m not surprised at all. You know how many crotchety ole nurse ratchets I dealt with my first year of nursing? Almost made me

    Sooo......willing going from the OR to the ED! Have been in the OR the pst five years, two of which were travel. Have been a nurse for almost 11, only the first year was med/surg. Gonna be a crazy...

    .....OK boomer. Can you just retire already with that attitude?

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except, as he said in his original post, he would lose out on the opportunity to pick certain weekend days if he was found to be negative, which he was. This is disciplinary in nature. Occurrences...

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Exactly this. That you for reiterating. I tell everyone that the rational side of me thinks business will go back to usual once this settles down slightly and they will give us two pizza parties...

  11. RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And that’s your problem. People still focused on punishing who they can because it’s easier to take action in that regard than to take the difficult action and stand up for employees, even if it...

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So just screw em, huh? Even if it’s legitimate? You ever think that people call off for bogus reasons, drink and “do other various activities” because time and time again they deal with trickle...

  14. RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But we all know these occurrences are just tally marks for disciplinary action, so to get one of these when told to quarantine because of this virus I think is unreasonable. It’s definitely negative...

  15. RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It definitely is partly semantics, but I still say it’s disciplinary in nature because occurrences are basically just used to measure the need for disciplinary action. Plus it doesn’t look good...

  16. RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s kind of my point though....occurrences are for keeping track for possible disciplinary action with a repeated pattern of behavior. If he’s being told he needs to stay home, then this...

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So when you say “the real problem are crap employees” what am I and others supposed to take away from that? Those are your words, not mine. You’re absolutely right. Nurses need to unite now...

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If he is getting an occurrence, that is not sensationalism. That is a disciplinary measure in place to ensure it’s not a repeated behavior

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @Wuzzie my reading comprehension is just fine, thank you very much. You actually just reinforced what I said. Employees may be getting some blowback for past actions of a few bad apples, but don’t...

    jollydogg_RN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @Wuzzie.....just because it’s not illegal doesn’t mean it isn’t right. You’re saying getting a lawyer isn’t good advice. We NEED to start fighting back. We have all the power. This is how...
