  1. Terminated illegally I believe

    BabyLady replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you, with 100% confidence, that it is illegal to terminate you for not signing a non-compete contract with ANY job AFTER you are already hired. Employers can legally require this before...

  2. Pregnant!!!Only helpful advice needed. please no debbie downers!!!

    BabyLady replied to FutureNurseDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Typically, schools are required, like employers, to make reasonable accomodations. All of our instructors worked at the area hospitals so the students that I went to school with that had babies and...

  3. Terminated because of a dirty drug screen (all drugs were prescribed btw).

    BabyLady replied to randb83172's topic in General Nursing

    An employer can legally terminate you for taking medication that is inconsistent with prescription

  4. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    BabyLady replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll get shot for saying this, but here goes: RN's did away with the all-white uniform. Younger nurses, will not have any memory of the impact this had. Old-timers, will know exactly what I am talking...

  5. Does it matter which school to take pre-reqs- PLEASE HELP

    BabyLady replied to MsCRC's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Uh, this is not accurate...at all. I would say you were very lucky. This is the procedure you need to follow if you want to take your pre-reqs at another college than the one you plan on attending...

  6. The dreaded pregnancy test

    BabyLady replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    I want to come work for

  7. Job offer, accepted now "new" information regarding position given - feel duped!

    BabyLady replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are desparate, I would turn the job down. To me, those were KEY factors in salary negotiation which they withheld. If they have to hide facts in order to get you to accept, not a company I...

  8. RN tattoo

    BabyLady replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    ...now THAT, I will agree with

  9. Pregnant and can't lift?

    BabyLady replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    When you... 1) Copy and paste my post. 2) State that "where did people get that pregnancy was NOT a disability, you need to educate yourselves!" 3) Copy a link to the EEOC, which as far as they are...

  10. Pregnant and can't lift?

    BabyLady replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    ...but if she was high risk, I am assuming that she would have been diagnosed by her OB as high risk and have a doctor's note listing any special activiites she needed to limit. To me, that is...

  11. RN tattoo

    BabyLady replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, there is no truth to that whatsoever. The only place I EVER hear nurses bashed is on this message board. I hear people sometimes bash a particular nurse for something that they did, but...

  12. Nonresponder to HepB Vaccine

    BabyLady replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Critical thinking is central in nursing and you have to temper that with a little common sense. If a pathologist knew NOTHING of a patient's history other than the sample in front of them, yes, they...

  13. Nonresponder to HepB Vaccine

    BabyLady replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    As was the post I responded to...but then again, that would be assuming you read it. By the way, my titers were low, not undetectable. I never made a generalization....I simply stated personal...

  14. Nonresponder to HepB Vaccine

    BabyLady replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    i will be happy to post it when i get back from an event that i have to attend this evening. on the contrary, quid pro quo...please be posting research in the meantime that states that unless you have...

  15. RN tattoo

    BabyLady replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    ok..now i have heard it all. you could have a medical symbol for any reason...personal medical issues, a close family member, recovery from a serious illness. it's not like that there is some law...

  16. Pregnant and can't lift?

    BabyLady replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Good lord...pregnancy is NOT considered a medical disability. Have you finished nursing school yet? You have to treat pregnancy IF WARRANTED the same as any other short-term disability...and if you...

  17. Pregnant and can't lift?

    BabyLady replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    This falls under the category of a discussion you should have with your OB. Pregnancy is not a disability and unless you have a written order from your physician that you are on a lifting restriction...

  18. RN tattoo

    BabyLady replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    I would put more thought into it than that...tattoos should not be treated as impulse

  19. Nonresponder to HepB Vaccine

    BabyLady replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Vaccines and boosters are different and YES, I know the difference because I have PERSONALLY taken the boosters in addition to the Hep B series. Have you? I have an autoimmune disease, which was...

  20. Is this legal?

    BabyLady replied to ocmama's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is legal. As long as you were not discriminated against because of age, race, religion, handicap, familial status or in some states, sexual orientation, they can tell you that they aren't going...

  21. Nonresponder to HepB Vaccine

    BabyLady replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to see a physician that is more familiar with what to do. Having TWO series of Hep B is NOT what is supposed to happen. You get the Hep B vaccine series then IF you do not respond, you...

  22. Attn: Frontier Graduates..

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, they told me yesterday that they did not plan on discontinuing it..at

  23. Rant: Institutional disrespect of students

    BabyLady replied to canigraduate's topic in General Students

    I 100% agree with everything you said. Our instructors used to throw a fit about students showing up on time...which I would normally agree with..but what I never understood, is why they frequently...

  24. Attn: Frontier Graduates..

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I found out that they are NOT discontinuing the WHCNP program. They are only removing it as an option for the ADN to MSN

  25. Nursing Students Incivility Towards Faculty and Other Students

    BabyLady replied to vbwise2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The only bullying at my institution was done by the nursing instructors...absolutely the nastiest group of educated women I have ever encountered in my life. However...every student in there truly...
