    Liability of teaching an outside nurse

    Here is the difference legally. When you are taking care of a family member it is recognized as just that. From the physician's office side of things, you would show the nurse/family member what to do...
  3. The idea of volunteering?! Don't understand that one at all. Volunteers are non-medical people in my area. These are not clinical positions and you are not eligible if you are an RN. Hospitals do not...

    Liability of teaching an outside nurse

    No. No difference. This other nurse is not considered a "nurse" in this situation as much as she is a caring family member - probably going thru hell with the patient too, and doing what she can with...
  5. The AN search does bring links, you just need to scroll down some more on that
  6. Do you know exactly how much experience these other nurses have had prior to starting work with your hospital? Could they have become certified in a specialty or anything like that? What I am trying...

    Applying for another job

    i would let any new interview know that they should not contact your current job. You generally put your current job in jeopardy if they find out you are actively interviewing - no matter if you...

    Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

    All true. Although not all pregnancy can be planned for eg you've had trouble starting a family, but then after a few years suddenly found yourself pregnant... it takes priority. You must never expect...

    Tattoo's on Nurses

    Not a fan of piercings other than in the ears. To me, it appears very unsanitary JIMHO. I am a fan of good tattooing. I don't have any tattoos, but always thought if I hit the lottery and had the cash...

    Well, now I've heard it all!

    Yikes! Always wear your shades, especially when shopping at Target/Walmart/grocery

    Did i really do anything wrong?

    Well, then, ignore the DON and go meet with the administrator that you had the agreement with. Let them handle it. Your agreement is not with the DON. And next time, if you have a scheduled half day...

    Would you do this?

    I wouldn't do it unless 2 things: 1. It was an obvious situation, like yours seemed to be. 2. I REALLY knew the MD, and he/she REALLY knew me, meaning we had years of a great working

    Things interviewees have said...

    Ha! I can top that one. Just after graduating college, a new nurse I knew told me that she had an interview, and if they offered her job, she might take it but the job would have to agree to let her...
  18. There is nothing to lose. Call if you feel like it. I can't help but think that you mentioning your tx for SVT, might have been a hinderance. Did you bring this up for ex. as to why you want to work...

    " ...They didn't see the patient, the saw an old demented lady, looked at her radiology results insted of the patient & moved the the next patient. They never assessed her. Second that bag was...

    Networking through conferences/nursing associations

    Frankly no. Wouldn't hurt if you find a free one close to home to go to. People will chat with you, sure. But you will see not much comes from these things. Absolutely do not pay to go to anything if...

    I think I'm getting FIRED on Monday...

    I agree with this. Once I was the one who gave notice, and boy did I bust it those last two weeks. It was hospice, and I was on call all over the bloomin! I could barely finish charting on my last...

    does anyone regret this career?

    I am you, except that I am an extrovert who enjoys meeting new
  23. Sure, anybody with the money "can" do anything, can't they. If you won the lottery and for ***** and giggles wanted your own card practice, well then heck yes. I bet you could find an MD who would be...
  24. CRF250Xpert, Pardon my French, but you sound like you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Please, please tell me that you are some pre-nursing or pre-med student with a crazy...

    Nurses Calling Patients "Jerks"

    OP, your turn is coming. Probably on your next shift. You just spun the karma wheel of fortune. :w00t: So. When you &$#)*!#$% them out, just train yourself to do it as a whisper. I prefer to use...
