  1. Suspended from work for an investigation,can i resign and take another, will i look guilty

    losbozos replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    Speak to no one about this (especially the BON! They are not your friend), find a lawyer that specializes in nursing issues & hand it over to him/her asap! Keep your mouth shut until it gets...

  2. License of Endorsement for NY? Where do I begin?

    losbozos replied to JaimeAnne,RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Almost done filling out the NY application (endorsement) & have sent verification from my home state. My question is about the very specific dates for grade school/high school, etc. Does anybody...

  3. Safety of Electronic Documentation

    losbozos replied to herring_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My problem w/ Epic is when the PCP does write new orders (all PCPs do it electronically), I have no way of knowing unless I seek that info. I've had docs put in orders from home in the middle of the...

    losbozos replied to zacarias's topic in California Nursing

    Ck out any coastal town w/ critical access hospitals. They're great to work at & need experienced

  5. Travel RN Compensation vs. Current non-travel Compensation

    losbozos replied to Rain_ray2000's topic in Travel

    But if the traveler is cancelled by the hospital for just one shift, should the nurse have to pay the agency? Not a sick call or cancelled contract. We don't get paid if we don't work; we shouldn't...

    losbozos replied to Rain_ray2000's topic in Travel

    I'm working w/ a traveler that says her agency makes her pay a penalty if she has a cancelled shift (low census) even tho it's no fault of hers. How can that

  7. Nursing Job Satisfaction

    losbozos replied to tangel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have to say that mclennan said it succinctly & articulately. We are our own worst enemies. I could enumerate all the examples but I am just plain tired of doing that. We are not a cohesive,...

  8. California nurses and medical marijuana

    losbozos replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in Pain Management

    Interesting topic. I've wondered this for awhile, now. Although I feel anyone w/ a THC medical card should be allowed to exercise their right to intake, I also feel no medical professional should go...

  10. New traveller (ED), newish nurse, didn't get my contract renewed. Freaking.

    losbozos replied to InACedarGrove's topic in Travel

    Something sad has happened to our profession in the past 15 years or so. I feel like there used to be more comradery & a bit of nurturing when I got out of school 31 years ago. There seems to be...

  11. California license by endorsement

    losbozos replied to L&DWendy's topic in Travel

    Do the live scan!!!! It is near impossible to reach someone by phone. CA has cut back on state run programs which includes the BON. Used to be able to do a walk thru but they put a stop to that 'cause...

  13. Dealing with nosey nurses

    losbozos replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    I've only done 2 travel assignments & was hired by my 1st assignment. It lasted for 3 yrs but was "let go" for vague reasons. Oh well; try to learn from our mistakes, right? This past assignment...

    losbozos replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Happened to me just 2 days ago. Every accusation was so very vague; no specifics. Been a RN >30 yrs & first time I've been

  15. Why is it always "Fire the nurse"

    losbozos replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes! They DO get fired. Pts feel empowered by doing this or they may not be aware of the

  16. Group One Blacklisting in Texas

    losbozos replied to EstherMichael's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's a nurse thing to find blame on another

  17. Group One Blacklisting in Texas

    losbozos replied to EstherMichael's topic in Texas Nursing

    Usually it just boils down to "misconduct"- the word used by the state unemployment agency. That means getting unemply benefits very difficult. And for those uppity nurses out there, you may be the...

  19. Do nurses get fired often?

    losbozos replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel so embarrassed for being fired; not sure how to handle this. I feel mgt's claims are bogus & they went out of their way to "find" something. And since when does the word of a pt/family...

  20. Do nurses get fired often?

    losbozos replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Help! I just got fired because patient said I was rude! Not so. My supervisor got 3 calls w/in a month re: my rudeness & putting pts down. I've been a nurse for over 30 yrs & know this didn't...

    losbozos replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Even animals "cut" or chew the umbilical cord & before the placenta is del. My guess is that the cord has usually been severed prior to expulsion of the placenta. I'm not so sure of practice of...

  22. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    losbozos replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As an IBCLC, I agree w/ you principle. But, as a LC, OB nurse, & realist it is a rare bird (pt or nurse) that cares about that or that really listens. I put the oral vit K out there as a possible...

    losbozos replied to rdnkmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, my bad. I posted about misoprostol & not cervedil. Pay no attention to that man behind the
