  1. HELP!! What to put on resume after being unjustly FIRED?

    Guest343211 replied to AngelsWings09's topic in General Nursing

    Nah no some that have and have worked with a number of HR people. Never forget though, some are more professional that others, but at the end of the day, they work for the instituion/organization,...

  2. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, but what was pointed out through the thread and is really a tangent is the reality that in this profession a lot of this is mixed in together. Sometimes those that one thinks are idiots are not...

  3. Is "magnet status" a joke?

    Guest343211 replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, llg, you hit the nail on the head dead center! Seen this is more than once in "Magnet" organizations. You have to look at the organization as a whole. And if they are part of a huge system--say...

  4. Christiana Care Internships for new Grads

    Guest343211 replied to NEWRNDE's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Azzurri, Thanks for your insight and perspectives on things. I will tell everyone pretty much there are hiring freezes although hospitals are NOT bragging about it for PR reasons. I was in a...

  5. Pediatric ICUs Need to Really Want Their Nurse Orientees to Succeed

    Guest343211 posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I would like to read some feedback from pediatric intensive care nurses--cardiac, neonate or otherwise--please expound upon what precepting skills you have obtained. Have you be well-educated in how...

  6. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    Guest343211 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get the position that people have earned a doctorate or post-bac application of doc. In the same token, I also get that as nurses we have earned a title of respect. After all, I don't recall someone...

  7. Pediatric ICUs Need to Really Want Their Nurse Orientees to Succeed

    Guest343211 replied to Guest343211's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Jan that was a great reply. You sound like a wonderful preceptor and nurse. I especially appreciate how you honed in on the fact that ECCO was dismissed out of hand. This is HUGE. Now, dare I ask you...

  8. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Kudos triquee. . . and it is not merely new grads and novice nurses that must endure the ridiculous amounts of horiztonal and vertical violence in the workplace. Trust me on this. It's all about who...

  9. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    To Ruby, I will say that you make some points, however, the truth is simply this. People are fired everyday--and NURSEs quite often as well are fired w/o reason. In At-Will-Employment states, unless...

  10. IV starts and drawing blood

    Guest343211 replied to srknurse's topic in Emergency

    Nuangle,I totally

  11. IV starts and drawing blood

    Guest343211 replied to srknurse's topic in Emergency

    BTW, you would be surprised at how some local yocal community ED's won't streamline the process and insert IV and draw labs. This is one reason--among many--why I prefer working in a lot of city or...

  12. IV starts and drawing blood

    Guest343211 replied to srknurse's topic in Emergency

    To the nurse that says 18G. . .nah. You can infuse blood through a 20. On an adult, it is more ideal to have an 18G, but it isn't always possible. If you can influse blood through a 20, you can...

  13. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nah. Not talking about someone that is truly incompetent on a regular basis. Every situation and person needs to be considered on her/his own and its own merit. It's hard to tell what the whole...

  14. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow, you are very fortunate. Perhaps it is more of a critical care environment thing. Can be very cut throat--very dog-eat-dog--either too your face or beyond your back or both. It's very sad, b/c...

  15. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We need to be more careful, caring, balanced, and diligent in our evaluation processes, so that we can have a true understanding as to what is consistently "weed performance" versus what is not. We...

  16. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Right, and that has to be evaluated on an individual basis. We were not there with this person and his/her experiences. We don't know all sides of it. Most nurses actually want to be careful...

  17. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Emphasis: many nurses new to an institution or new grads are not anymore sow's ears than anyone else. People quickly forget. You did not become the nurse you are today in a vacuum. I say the pool of...

  18. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OK, but in total reality--that is forgoing all hyperbole, how many nurses are actually screwing up meds three times in a row--and what exactly were the kinds of "screw ups???" Most nurses, even new...

  19. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    BTW, in my orientation I repeated asked for individualized goal setting, etc. All of what you describe. It was blown off time and time again.

  20. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Emphasis sometimes. What I have observed is there are a lot of nurses who want to do well, yet the games never end--and those that run them have bought into them--regardless of how the particular...

  21. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The actual sad truth is that we will never know about this particular person. What I do know is capriciousness, lack of continuity and objective instruction and evaluation along with consistency is a...

  22. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I had seven and had absolutely no say over it--due to scheduling . . . No wonder why there was lack of consistent feedback and evaluation and

  23. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, it's not necessarily about them being mean and hateful, though some are. It's about them being sneaky, cut-throat, playing games, distorting truth in order to acheive whatever agenda/s they have...

  24. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    Guest343211 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pleaase don't take offense BabyLady; but I just have to aggree w/ Equinox's POV. And currently w/ the banking situation as it, well, it get's even scarier. Plus, even you have kids in college too,...

  25. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Guest343211 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes and cx, it's harder to take when it comes so often to so many in this so called caring profession. Don't get me wrong. I do think a lot nurses care about their patients. It's the weirdest thing...
