    Can they fire me?

    netglow replied to OuchieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't know what you mean by "absentee nurse manager" - but - call your doctor's office and get a letter stating when you are clear to go back to work, ask that you will pick up your letter - don't...

    netglow replied to seriouslyserious's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

    netglow replied to crunchytaco's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Medicare fines over hospitals' readmitted patients to begin on Monday Oct 1,2012

    netglow replied to kcmylorn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is what is going on now. Mark my words peeps! Insurance companies are the root of all evil, to placate them is why CMs exist. Nothing gets better until we bring the insurance companies to task....

    I agree with Gil, dump the boyfriend and his family can go with him. ALWAYS think this way: You need to think of yourself first, unless you have small children at home. Other adults come last in your...

    netglow replied to radicalsenseofhope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about "if" you can do it. I am sure you can, it's not that hard, really it isn't. So put all that aside. Since you are older you just need to consider your family. Who is going to stay...

    The nurses every co-worker hates

    netglow replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You could always do the Hello Kitty scrubs or lanyard (at least), or wear those stupid holiday or seasonal overly large and loud earings. LOL. You'd get the "she's friendly but also probably has a big...

    Is it worth taking a pay cut for experience?

    netglow replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey good news. You know it's never ever what you expected - interviews that is. So, did you get a formal offer, extended in writing? Sounds like it's coming, but as they say, it didn't happen unless...
