    workinmomRN2012 replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree, if it's not a habit- it's not a problem.I have had to work a double shift because the next person called out sick and my employer will sometimes offer to take me off my next

  12. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    workinmomRN2012 replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think that this is just another example of entitlement. If you are hired at a facility, you are on the schedule and people are counting on you. It's called being responsible people! I don't think...

  13. Got the CNA evil eye...what to do ??

    workinmomRN2012 replied to fairyluv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't understand why a Per Diem nurse would cause such a problem. She should be lucky to get work at all in this economy. It sounds like bully behavior. I always say "you teach people how to treat...

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    @GrnTea- Some people actually do need to come on AN to vent because it's a release and it makes them feel better, so that to me IS taking action. Unionizing would take a long time, venting is...

  19. Choosing between 2 job offers. HELP!

    workinmomRN2012 replied to eelise11's topic in Geriatric, LTC
