  1. Rising insurance premiums through work

    Accolay replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    ::where's my soapbox?:: It doesn't matter. All I have to say is this administration and the party in power passed a tax cut this year for the absolute richest Americans and cut the corporate rate by...

  2. How do you deal with angry/upset with patients?

    Accolay replied to Karlie2114's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about normal everyday anger, angry that they are in the hospital angry about condition etc, or are you talking about mental

  3. Would you call in sick?

    Accolay replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Call in. Not safe. Especially with that commute. Can I get an honest answer why a one way 2+ hour commute seemed like a good idea? I am trying to understand why this is acceptable to some and...

  4. How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Accolay replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    If it really is that much paperwork, then many of these shredding services can come to you in a large shredding truck. Call around to see if they offer such

  5. Let go/resign from new grad 6 months in

    Accolay replied to shaza111's topic in General Nursing

    Don't pigeonhole yourself to one job because you think you wont be able to handle a job you want. While you're out of work, continue to work on your nursing knowledge for a few hours a day- don't get...

  6. Nurse Imposters

    Accolay replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    Complaint Gateway Click the top box. How's it going

  7. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    Accolay replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    I see you're in NY. You'll have to look what jobs are paying and see about tuitition reimbursement rates too. If it were me I'd find a hospital I'd eventually want to work in as a nurse if possible....

  8. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Accolay replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I can kinda see it that way. But however odd or ire-provoking it may be, it all depends on an institutions policies. Seniority is an incentive so employees stay with a company. Policies like...

  9. Let go/resign from new grad 6 months in

    Accolay replied to shaza111's topic in General Nursing

    I still don't understand what happened with the insulin. But I gather it was a med error of some kind, you recognized it as a problem, took steps to protect your patient, you wrote yourself up on it,...

  10. How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Accolay replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    Might want to rethink your strategy if you have children or other family that will have to go through your stuff someday. I've had to do this for a few relatives. One house we had paperwork...

  11. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Accolay replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the institution's policies. If it were my facility, you keep your senority no matter where you

  12. Situational Trauma

    Accolay replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Target on Thanksgiving evening for a few food items. Do people really need that many new tvs? What the

  13. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Accolay replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    If HR told you to go to the Nursing Staffing Office, I would at least try and talk to them as directed, jumping through the hoops as necessary. When you talk to other people have this policy printed...

  14. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Accolay replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    You don't worry about what your coworkers think- they have nothing to do with this. You go to HR and the union if you have one because your manager wont do their

  15. Four Year Contract for Free School?

    Accolay replied to nursekayla82005's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you already know the answer for yourself, but you just want confirmation. If you have no intention of working in a unit they want you to take a four year contract in, then no freakin'...

  16. Let go/resign from new grad 6 months in

    Accolay replied to shaza111's topic in General Nursing

    So, I find your post is slightly hard to decipher. What I think happened is you had a few small bumps in the road during your first six months as a nurse and you were let go by management without any...

  17. Vaccine controversy

    Accolay replied to degfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why uncooked? Less

  18. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Accolay replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Davey- it takes a lot of guts to come on here and say this stuff about yourself. Can you go into the details of what kind of "full assessment" is being asked for? What are you missing? What...

  19. Working under expired license

    Accolay replied to caseylriley's topic in Nursing Career

    Asking for a "friend?" Yeah, it's a big deal. I can't advise on "telling" on yourself to your employeer or if call outs from work are more appropriate until the license is renewed, but I'm guessing...

  20. Canceled! Jerks!

    Accolay replied to Scooter59's topic in General Nursing

    We have a hierarchy of cancelations. If we are not given 90 minutes notice, they have to pay us for four hours of

  21. Commute!

    Accolay replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I will always advise to either relocate closer to a job or find a job that's closer to where you live now. Long commutes should only be a very temporary inconvenience and otherwise good for

  22. Anybody else feel this way?

    Accolay replied to Rocketskates's topic in General Nursing

    You're going off the rails into tin foil hat territory with your BSN bashing. I don't really like school even though I like learning but I'm not going to get on your bandwagon about how it's a...

  23. Anybody else feel this way?

    Accolay replied to Rocketskates's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that's the way it goes. Because what's the alternative? You can always quit if it would make you happier. Find another job that doesn't require the BSN and go on with your life as you'd like...

  25. "He just wanted to know..."

    Accolay replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well then, I rest my case. I've only worked in one place as an RN and we aren't able to fire patients. I know nurses and other practicioners who have faced prejudice from patients, I know of an...
