  1. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    If I don't get a response to this question, I will post it in the General area - but why do you think that some of the hospitals are posting hundreds of RN positions as though they have openings but...
  2. Why HH nurses quit

    My parents are going through that time of their lives as well. I am sorry for your loss. Your career situation helps a lot of us because it is telltale of the times we live in. I would think you...
  3. La county sheriff dept /my license on probation

    I am really upset by your post. Why were you put on probation? Did the patient or patient's family sue? It sounds to me like you were following protocol. In what way do they feel you were...
  4. I need help!!!

    I could be wrong (but I don't think I am) - imvho, male nurses in certain areas of nursing are much more likely to get a job than a female for a variety of reasons. They can do heavy lifting a lot...
  5. Some of you have read my story. Briefly, I was an RN for ten years and then a home educator for 18 years. In 2009, I retook the NCLEX and passed with flying colors. I thought I would walk in the...
  6. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    I graduated in 1980. I worked for ten years and ended up being a stay-at-home mom for 18 years and home educating my children. I want to say that this was after the hospital I worked for asked me to...
  7. If you could do it all over.....

    I wish I were a teacher - specifically to teach people how to get the most out of their computer, troubleshoot a program such as iMovie, learn to do their photos and make stunning calendars, movies,...
  8. need to interview a home health nurse please

    - Is the agency licensed? Yes, I believe so. - Is the agency Medicare certified? Yes. - Which agency provides or will provide the accreditation for this agency? Medicaid/Medicare, I believe. - What...
  9. Why HH nurses quit

    I truly believe that someone or some who in the hospital setting sets a negative expectation to families concerning us as hh nurses as though we are the refuge of nursing. I think that's why PCGs...
  10. RN told she will now get LPN wages

    This is one of the reasons that I have been posting here. I want to hear if this is a truth. I want to hear what is happening to other people. For example, do other RNs have this same experience?...
  11. I feel like a failure and need to vent...

    They sure were the glory years. I walked in off the street brand new to this state and got a job BEFORE I even had verification that I had passed state boards (which is what they called it back then)...
  12. RN told she will now get LPN wages

    Thank you for your kind reply. Actually, Medicaid does pay RN wages for clients with IVs and trachs. I am not being critical at all here. I appreciate that you are experienced and are well versed...
  13. I feel like a failure and need to vent...

    May I ask what it is that you hope to do in nursing? I love taking care of recovering preemies. But life doesn't always work the way we want. You have to take the good with the bad. Ie. Love the...
  14. What kind of bag do you use?

    Target Handbag I got this at Target. Like others, most of my stuff is supplied. This comes with a zippered pouch that I keep my stethoscope, thermometer, etc in. My iPad fits in here plus my wallet...
  15. Required to work for free?

    The trend overall not to pay minimum wage for orientation, no evening or night shift differential, subnormal wages as in paying RNs LPN or tech wages, and the list is growing as the day rolls on are...
  16. RN told she will now get LPN wages

    I would be thrilled, at this point, with
  17. Here we go again

    In my neck of the woods, new grads are not being
  18. So what would you guys do?

    There has been a little paradigm shift of late in home health. I am an RN and I work with recovering preemies right now in home health. This isn't because I do not want a higher paying job in the...
  19. New Grad Home Health

    In my neck of the woods, you are called a case manager. I am also being barred from those positions until I gain more experience. I prefer home health to hospital work. I was grateful to be...
  20. One night shift nurse and one day shift husband...

    I have been married 25 years this year and even though right now the hurdle we are jumping through is that type of schedule, there have always been situations that kept us from spending time together....
  21. New Grad Home Health

    If I am not mistaken, you are the same nurse that posted a while back. Guess what? We are probably neighbors working at the same agency. Don't want to say that too loud because I've been trying...
  22. Need positive reinforcement- people can be so mean!

    I pretty much try to comply with the PCG's requests. I have been told by my agency that that is their policy. If I were in that situation, I would have explained to this PCG that some GT feeds are...
  23. New Grad Home Health

    Listen, what these fine nurses are trying to explain to you is that HH requires you to able to be in control, have confidence in your abilities, and more than anything, be able to react quickly with...

  25. Venting!

    True. But let's just say for argument's sake that she has authority. You mentioned that she is the case manager. I have always found that having an impartial third party in a situation like this...
