   WhoaNelly posted a topic in Home Health

   Hello, I am interesting in starting a new career in HH - any advice? What do you love about it? What do you hate about it? How's the salary? I have 20+ years of m/s experience. Do you think I will have any problems getting a job, not having any...

2. Sad day in the USA

   WhoaNelly replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

   Well, when there is so much talk about rationing healthcare, even potentially initiating a "duty to die" for our elderly, I have a bigtime problem with the baby-making machines. No, we need to attack our population/demand problem from the other end:...

   Wow. What a great, down-to-earth post. I'm not a new nurse, but I'm definitely not seasoned either. I've also had more than my fair share of difficulties in this field. But I'm gearing up to give it ONE last shot. Just one question for you: Wha...

5. Just Got Fired, Need Interview Advice

   WhoaNelly replied to MelissaPhoographerRN's topic in Career Support

   I was absolutely sickened after reading your post. It is disgusting how poorly nurses are treated, just discarded like yesterday's garbage. Believe me, I know! As for myself, I am only on this site today for the purpose of reading how others have ...

6. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

   WhoaNelly replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

   I'm so sorry you had to go through this pain, but glad you overcame. You described this profession perfectly...chews people up and then spits them out. One really doesn't have a choice but to change their approach to others in the workplace...I si...

8. Help! Documentation question

   WhoaNelly replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

   I figured you all might need more info. I was trying to be generic, but I guess I will go ahead and disclose the details... An RN was working in a doctor's office in their coumadin clinic and the patient had an off the chart INR result. It was know...

9. Help! Documentation question

   WhoaNelly posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi, Does anyone know what some of the potential consequences are/could be in this scenario: An RN working at a doctor's office is not feeling well and does something totally out of character - charts subjectively about a patient (sees this later and ...

    WhoaNelly replied to indiansfan's topic in Geriatric

    I am so sorry you are going through this, as I can sympathize all too well. I just recently got away from a place where a lot of cliquey stuff was going on and also dealing with a supervisor who just hated me for some reason unbeknownst to me. And ...

    WhoaNelly replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    Wow - another fantastic post with great info. Thank you!! I actually have been considering doing just that - using a reference check service to put these worries to rest once and for all. I need to just bite the bullet and do it. I just hope this...

    WhoaNelly replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing that TamNurse. It's good to hear that people can actually recover from this and move on with their lives. Also, I really hadn't considered looking at it from the angle you talked about - how drawing unemployment would work in ...

13. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

    WhoaNelly replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    Ha Ha :) You're funny. I'm sorry for wording it that way. It was rather presumptous. I shoulda just left it at "I highly suspect that she was jealous of something I have in my personal life". While I had wondered about it (could that possibly be...

    WhoaNelly replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    Now that's the first time I've heard that course of action advised. I like it - thank you. That's just it...I just want to move forward, not feeling like I have to settle for another crappy job or something because of all of this.
