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

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

    At-will employment says that either I or my employer can terminate the relationship for any reason at any time. This is the law where I live. Employers should not be more protected than we are by...

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

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

    I have had no issues getting hired elsewhere, and I haven't given a notice in 8

  3. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    I had no challenges with the Capstone except not understanding what they wanted a couple of times. I tend to take things very literally so that hurts me from time to time. And contrary to the hateful...

  4. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    I take VERY strong offense to you implying that a monkey could complete this program. I worked VERY hard to complete my program and busted my ass. You stating that it's so easy a monkey could do it...

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

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

    Yes. A two weeks notice is dated and old fashioned. We are moving into a world that is lawsuit heavy. Someone calling HR for a reference and they say they are ineligible for rehire, so what? Here's...

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

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

    I'm sorry but even if you give two weeks notice, you are not "guaranteed" a good reference from a place. If someone is ticked off that you're leaving, they can do whatever they want to you. Even if...

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

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

    Don't be surprised if they decide to walk you out the front door in the next two weeks. Again, at will employment is not set up to ONLY benefit the

  8. Holiday Gifts for PCT's

    SweettartRN replied to PinkNBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I don't give "holiday gifts" but I give Christmas gifts of candy or food

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

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

    This is why I never give two weeks notice. When I am done at an organization I hand in my things, and say goodbye. There is no need in an at-will state to give notice. And I am certainly not going to...

  10. Starting to wonder if I'll ever find my niche.

    SweettartRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I started off as an LPN in drug and alcohol and advanced from there. Unfortunately, I also worked in non-profit, so no real full time jobs, horrible benefits and horrible pay. The last non-profit...

  11. called in sick, nurse manager calling back (inappropriate tactics?)

    SweettartRN replied to jbaggins's topic in General Nursing

    I can't fathom having a home telephone. Ever. What a waste of money. If someone needs me, I have a cell phone. There is no reason this day and age for anyone to have a home telephone. But that's just...

  12. Michigan License by Endorsement

    SweettartRN replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Give it about 8 weeks unless you want to file a complaint with a member of the House or Senate. I did that and had my license the next

  13. Just put an end my misery if...

    SweettartRN replied to R!XTER's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the issues are called ENABLEMENT. Someone is feeding their butt. I come from a line of very large people, and most if not all have emotional issues that caused their weight gain. Most also were...

  14. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    SweettartRN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually when having ANY medical procedure done, you are a PATIENT, not an employee, and as such you LEGALLY have the RIGHT TO REFUSE. Perhaps a bit more education on this is needed for folks such as...

  15. Different Types Of Coworkers

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

    What about the Intimidated Nurse? The one who has been on the floor for 20 years and feels it necessary to cut down and remark hatefully about the younger nurses who run circles around

  16. Kaplan Post MSN FNP

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in School, College Programs

    You folks should really post this information on your website. It is quite misleading to NOT do so, and could save a lot of

  17. Nursing: Then and Now

    SweettartRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    When they stop letting patients run the show then perhaps this is a reasonable

  18. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    I completed it in 7.5 months. :) Go at your own pace and don't let anyone stand in your

  19. Kaplan Post MSN FNP

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Their post-MSN certificates are NOT accredited. I finally received an email from the president's office

  20. Kaplan Post MSN FNP

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks Jeanpeacock. I couldn't get a straight answer from Kaplan to save my life. I am looking at South University too.

  21. Is your Facility 'forcing' you to get the Flu Vaccine?

    SweettartRN replied to madwife2002's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Last I checked, upon receiving any medical procedure, including a vaccination, this means that I am now a patient, not an employee, and under the Patient's Bill of Rights, I have the right to refuse a...

  22. How do you cope with looking "too young" to be a nurse?

    SweettartRN replied to LaceyRN12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It depends on who says it and how they say it. If its a 90 year old little old woman I smile and say thanks. If it's a co-worker or supervisor, I politely but firmly remind them that I am capable of...

  23. How long did it take you to finish your program with WGU?

    SweettartRN replied to live&love&heal's topic in Western Governors University

    BSN took three months exactly. MSN will have taken 8 months and only because I threw a major temper tantrum over being lied to about curriculum that set me

  24. Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    SweettartRN replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Totally 100% against anything that taxes, or threatens Americans with jail if they don't wish to spend their hard-earned money on something that they don't agree with, believe in, or want. We live in...

  25. What patients/behaviors/illnesses/injuries do you HATE the most?

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

    Other nurses or doctors. Worst patients EVER. And I include myself in that
