    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Then they shouldn't be hiring if they can't afford to pay market value. Just my

  3. Two VERY low ball job offers in the last month...(management and leadership!)

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Dream on. I have a MSN that I paid good money for that I am not going to let it go to waste. I'll leave it for the ADN nurses to pick up the

  4. Left position that stunk, feeling bad...

    SweettartRN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in Nursing Career

    At will employment means that you are free to leave at will, just as the employer can fire you at will. What so many people seem to forget is that at will employment laws, work BOTH ways. It's not...

  5. Two VERY low ball job offers in the last month...(management and leadership!)

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Already done that. Neither would budge. Not even an inch. They said that was all their budget would allow for, even when I showed them both proof of how low-ball they were. I am counting my losses on...

  6. Two VERY low ball job offers in the last month...(management and leadership!)

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Michigan, and I have five years management experience. I would never take any of these jobs for less than 68,500, which I feel is even lower than should be accepted. I have no interest in either of...

    SweettartRN replied to 2shihtzus's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes. I've been accepted into three post MSN programs after attending

  8. Nurses fired for refusing flu vaccine

    SweettartRN replied to BrandybunsRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This will go before the Supreme Court before it's all said and done. The employers WILL lose. There are too many rights being violated by mandatory vaccine policies. And this whole "it's not about...

  9. Dear British "Hoaxed" Nurse:

    SweettartRN replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess I don't understand why she felt the need to harm herself. According to reports that I have read, all she did was TRANSFER the call- she herself was not the one who released the personal and...

  10. Patient Abandonment in NM

    SweettartRN replied to YouGotItNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    If the OP has at-will employment, then she's

  11. What are the nurse's rights regarding difficult family members?

    SweettartRN replied to Brekka's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You and your fellow team members need to meet with your manager, explain the situation, and the nurse manager needs to call a family meeting to discuss this. You can also always call the police if it...

  12. MSN Capstone?

    SweettartRN replied to Fairy1's topic in Western Governors University

    Which is why you can use an organization, and not necessarily a practice setting in order to do your research. I did this and it worked VERY

  13. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    "My mentor has told me she and other faculty check these boards, and our participation is a small part of the overall grades." The above statement is absolutely not true. Your grades are determined...

  14. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    No way in hell are you at Western Governors University. If you were then you would know that 99% of all coursework is papers and tasks that are graded through Taskstream, and that you rarely, if ever...

  15. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    You are unreal. And probably one of those on the "secret" Facebook page asking for answers and getting ticked when you get emails from WGU about cheating..... Just my

  16. Anyone here who hate the holidays?

    SweettartRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I absolutely love Christmas and it's my favorite time of the year. The decorations, the food, the lights. The presents mean little to me because financially my husband and I are in a place where if we...

  17. Nurses unemployed what is happening out there???

    SweettartRN replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    Why would they pay a nurse with 15 years experience $5.00-$10 more per hour than they could pay a new grad and basically trap them there for awhile? The economy is not helpful towards nurses right...

  18. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    SweettartRN replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am saying a hiring manager in general. Regardless, business is business. Judge not, lest you be judged. I am very comfortable with my character and person. If you are not, that's your

    Institutional Review Board. Basically a permission slip to do your research

  20. Accredidation of an RN-BSN program, how important is it?

    SweettartRN replied to mandy1623's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Agreed. And never trust the school's website. Verify the accreditation yourself. This almost cost me a lot of

  21. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    SweettartRN replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will concede that in this case I agree with everyone. The OP did state that they would stay, and therefore should stick by their word. Had he/she not made that promise, I would say that he/she...

  22. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    SweettartRN replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am there to work with them. I don't become friends with the people I work with, and I don't "hang out" after work or become overly familiar. I keep my boundaries up. I am friendly, but not

  23. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    SweettartRN replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I fully respect those who want to stay and want to do what *they* feel is right; I can't argue with that. However, I also have to do what *I* feel is right as well, and that means looking out for #1,...

  24. Michigan License by Endorsement

    SweettartRN replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry, but that is standard for Michigan. Go to the State of MI website and search for your representative and email

  25. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    SweettartRN replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I meant what I sad. Morals, ethics, and values all align together. I would hire someone with ethics over someone with no morals or values. Exactly like I said. Sorry that confuses you so greatly....
