I guess I'm glutton. I love the QA part of getting a drowing agency out of the red. Yes, I have been termed and have also resigned d/t insubordination from clerical staff that the higher ups would not address. It is a very, very difficult position to hold, but somebody has to do it. I occassionally go out in the field when we are short just to relieve the schedulers. Being the Clinical Supervisor is very lonely!

I would strongly advise both of you to stick it out for about 6 months to a year, preferably med surg experience or cc. Then you will be better able to handle the home environments and your critical thinking skills will be tuned. But home health is definitely a blessing from the negative atmosphere in most hospitals. Only prob is the paperwork!

What kind of music are y'all playing for the processional and when leaving? I too have my pinning on the 12th of this month. We are not allowed to affiliate it with the school so, we are having at church, that way it's already decorated for Christmas. There are ten of us and since we are in a distance learning program have only one instructor. She is pinning most of the students /x three, whom have chosen their mothers to pin them. On of the nurses at the hospital we did our rotations will be doing a speech and calling out our names. I wanted her to say our thank yous, but the other girls opted not to. After we all get pinned, we will be lighting our candles (plain tapers) and say the nightengale pledge. Then the pastor will say a prayer and our instructor will dismiss and invite the audience to join us in the hallway for refreshments (cake, coffee, tea) Most of us plan on celebrating with our family and friends. As for me we are returning to my home and have catered food so we can embide in spirits!!!! A helpful site I went to to help me plan it was San Antonio college. I searched pinning ceremony. They have it detailed out.
