  3. False Accusation, cost me my promised GN spot

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So sorry this is happening to you. The Powers That Be have made it clear that they don't want you, so look for a facility that does. This may turn out to be a good thing. If that's how they treat you...

  4. Written Job Offer Rescinded=jobless

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to RNlvn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this is happening to you. My first nursing job was cancelled 45 minutes into my first shift. It was a really demoralizing start to my nursing career. Fortunately, I hadn't quit my previous...

  5. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I wore business casual to class because my full-time job demanded it, and it was easier than going home to change. My school did not allow open-toed shoes or flip-flops in lab, but outside of...

    The NY Times ran an article about armed guards in hospitals. The patient profiled went to the hospital during a manic episode, seeking treatment for suspected bipolar disorder. He ended up shot in the...

  11. Dress Codes for School

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I attended Catholic schools. Some has uniforms, some had dress codes. The idea was that school is a kid's job. Play clothes were for playtime, and club clothes belonged at the club. My high school's...

  12. New nurse working 50/50, not going well

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Would it be possible to do 2 or 3 months of nights, then 2 to 3 months of days? Your body would have more time to adjust to a consistent sleep

  16. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    With the lack of jobs for new grad nurses in the last few years, I wouldn't be surprised if situations like this become more

  20. What happened to the "Emergency" in "Emergency Room?"

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Emergency.RN's topic in Emergency

    My area has 1 hospital and 4 urgent care centers. All are open 8 am to 8 pm, but only the hospital-operated urgent care center takes Medicare and Medicaid. Both I and my husband have gone to the...

  21. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    All of the bad stuff I've heard about unions came from union members. I worked with 2 rabidly anti-union people who had worked for UPS. They were laid off as part of the big 1990s strike settlement,...

    I work 5 miles from home, and my commute is about 15 minutes each way. My shifts range from 3.5 to 5 hours. I work private duty, doing bedtime care for 1 client. It works well for my

  24. Cost vs realistic job prospects

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Paticake35's topic in General Nursing

    I attended nursing school in Boston, where competition for new grad jobs is brutal and school connections matter a great deal. An affordable degree isn't worth much if it won't help you find a job....

  25. Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame the new grads for wanting to work in a hospital; inpatient experience opens a lot of doors. Enough has been written about the hazards of LTC for new grads. Most out-of-hospital jobs want...
