    “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...
  3. Leave in the most immediate way possible that doesn't involve patient abandonment. There's no other answer IMO. Good luck
  4. 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

    CCU vs ER

    Big issues at work

    Agree with the above. Likely worse before better. Unfortunately the numbers are a separate factor that is not in your favor. This DON brought SEVEN people to this employer along with herself, so...

    Need advice - is this malingering?

    I would follow employer's policy of limiting to temporary disability in this case. From what you have reported about the situation that's the extent of what you can fairly/honestly gauge anyway, and...

    2 assist job

    AND remember that when the patient gets hurt and you were working outside your job descriptions and/or without the assistive devices they lied and said they had, you will be blamed. If you...

    2 assist job

    Well this isn't entirely helpful, but no they can't make you. On the other hand they don't have to continue to employ you either. This is one of those topics for which you need to decide where to draw...

    Overcoming Fear and Avoidance

    For those who suffer with a tendency toward anxiety I think it is pretty common for things to get severe (or at least have that potential) when challenged by a specific stressor. I do recommend that...
