    Medical Emergencies in Public

    The person who wrote that (6 years ago) is not incorrect all around. There is some nuance to the answer to questions like the one written in the OP, that's true—for example if someone indicates they...

    Backsliding in new specialty

    ^Yep. Sorry I haven't been back after asking the question about your orientation but this is why I asked in the first place. Someone who has been successful in a place like IMCU doesn't just go...

    Backsliding in new specialty

    What kind of organized orientation and mentoring have you had during this transition to (what I consider to be) a significantly different population and specialty? Correction:
  4. It really isn't a very thoughtful or observant claim. Nursing has every type of person; whatever way a person could possibly be described or categorized, some of those are nurses. I've come...

    Kaiser "Primary Care"?

    It is usually referring to a point of first contact where people receive routine outpatient medical care (especially preventive care, management of common chronic conditions that don't require...

    “On Call” for Full Time RN

    Oh boy... I'm me and you're you. But I would take the opportunity to let them actually do some planning on finding my replacement. I have low tolerance for being straight up treated like I am...
  7. yeah, true, I meant I personally wouldn't think "weirdo" if someone doesn't want to shake hands. And I think it's another one of those personal preferences that people don't need to be judged
  8. Don't reciprocate if it makes you feel that way; don't violate yourself. Just smile and say "aw, no thanks, I don't shake hands but I'm glad to meet you." Pretty simple. It's fine that you...

    “On Call” for Full Time RN

    Also this: You don't say, but I assume the owners/providers are currently doing call and have decided they don't want to because it's annoying and most of the calls they get don't require a...

    “On Call” for Full Time RN

    We have gone back and forth here in the past about whether or not being on call is burdensome enough that it deserves pushback. To me that is not the issue. My view is that it is a service...
  11. Leave in the most immediate way possible that doesn't involve patient abandonment. There's no other answer IMO. Good luck
  12. I don't see why there would technically be a problem with the way you answered. In #2 all you (mistakenly) did was decline to give up your right to NOT incriminate yourself by answering question #3....

    Unprofessional surveyor

    OP, can you clarify this? What do you mean you received monetary damages? Was this in the form of unpaid days off as part of your discipline or some sort of actual fine or...? Very sorry you are...

    CCU vs ER

    I can see how it's nice to know for the next nurse's assessment and have no problem with that. For the consent, yeah it's nice to know but ultimately the surgeon is legally responsible for...

    CCU vs ER

    ^ These things exactly. I had typed a reply earlier that said the same but accidentally deleted it. This is a decision based on personality, IMO, and whether a person enjoys the deep dive,...
