  1. 4 mos. Pregnant & starting new RN job; Employer doesn't know yet; Will I be fired?

    Agnus replied to Nrs_angie's topic in General Nursing

    Nope they can not fire you for this. It would be illegal. They can not stop you from taking maturnity leave. Now relax and

  2. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Agnus replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can not read this as any more than just hysteria. Just can't take this very seriously. Maybe I have been around this planet too long. Not a very realistic senario at

  3. How to get hired fir first job?

    Agnus replied to midcom's topic in General Nursing

    You sound perfect to me. It is pretty hard to fight the experience thing though. Could you find a job that's maybe not a Clinic but not LTC either. Just go out and apply every where. You might get...

  4. Can a patient be a full code and a Hospice patient in NY?

    Agnus replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    It has been a few years now but when I worked Hospice coding the patient was "contrary to Hospice philosophy." That is not to say that families who were ill prepared for death did not call 911 and...

  5. new med/surg grad. Don't want any enemies, got a new preceptor, need advice permali

    Agnus replied to ltmja's topic in General Nursing

    This hospital is letting you down. Leaving you on your own when you are supposed to be precepted is just plain wrong. A preceptor should never be charge at the same time she is precepting a new...

  6. pre-employment exam from h*ll

    Agnus replied to pedinurse05's topic in General Nursing

    When I applied for my last job I went though something a little like this but nothing really so brutal. And no bruses. I just had do do some really really challenging physical stuff. When I was...

  7. Would this be inappropriate?

    Agnus replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    You will not be reopening old wounds. This is a very fresh sharp acute wound. Send it. I understand about the reluctance of one poster based on possible legal ramifications. There is that lawyer...

  8. Entirely new to the field of nursing...

    Agnus replied to n'mieu's topic in General Nursing

    One of the reasons I went into nurse is to have some freedom to have a life outside of work. Nurses make enough that you do not have to work full time and still make as much as many other...

  9. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    Agnus replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we have to surrender now. Our cover has been blown. Well I for one am not giving up that easily! I will fight to the end. Who is with me? There is no way we can allow the public to tell us...

  10. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    Agnus replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    Almabella, That is ok no one said you had to agree. This whole tread would be pretty boring if we all agreed and it would have ended long

  11. Can you be a Lactation Consultant but not RN?

    Agnus replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    Have you checked with WIC and the dept of social services. Also check on any county or private mother baby centers. Talk with some midwives all of them could (if they chose to) let you get your...

  12. flunking out of nursing school

    Agnus replied to illbeanurse's topic in General Nursing

    This probable is not much comfort but those of us who have been where you are. (I am one) actually found that time (8 months in my case)off from school were actually a blessing. Unlike you I needed...

  13. RN versus Dental Hygienist

    Agnus replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, know what you mean I get the same feeling of satisfaction from cleaning a toilet. .:lol2:No seriously! Guess I'm just

  14. RN versus Dental Hygienist

    Agnus replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. What have I done?

    Agnus replied to adnstudent2007's topic in General Nursing

    Very reasonable reason to be concerned. I was thinking (had it been the primary doc)that this little detail might have momentairly slipped his mind. By the way when I talk to an on call Doc. one of...

  16. Prayer and patient care.

    Agnus replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have prayed upon their request with a patient. I prayed the specific prayers they asked for. I do not assaullt the ears of the comatose with whispered prayers. This is not a new topic by any...

  17. Prayer and patient care.

    Agnus replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    tweety, granted spiritual needs are part of a holistic centered aproach. It is fine that one believes these things and even prays (privately in her own prayers) for her patients if this is a part of...

  18. Male RN gets to pay more?

    Agnus replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect you are correct. Also we have some valid research out there that suggest men are more likely to negotiate for higher pay. And interestingly men are more apt to get higher pay if they...

  19. NEw Grad

    Agnus replied to xxniceswtnursexx's topic in General Nursing

    I know you are nervous but this is not rocket science. Lets think about this rationally. What would you like to know about working there, about the unit and how it operates, what are some of the...

  20. Would You do the same thing I did?

    Agnus replied to vnsam's topic in General Nursing

    Actually in my case nothing was ever posted. But then it was NV not CA. Yet Nevada sends out every quarter by snail mail to every RN and post on the web a list of people who have been disaplined by...

  21. OMG I just got fired...what now?

    Agnus replied to NurseSarah86's topic in General Nursing

    I was hired fresh out of nursing school into ICU. I had applied for a peids position they posted but never existed in reality (turns out it was part of a bait and switch) Anyway I was a new grad. I...

    Agnus replied to NTPinky's topic in General Nursing

    it is dose not matter if the manager wants you to have a copy faxed to HR or not. This is your HR file we are talking about you want to make sure a copy is in your file and the way to insure it is to...

    Agnus replied to illbeanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I meant to say but guess I forgot that assuming your really did know and not just thought you knew the material that you may be experiencing test anxiety. If this is the case instructors can work...

  25. Prayer and patient care.

    Agnus replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! I wonder if it is not more than just rude since we do have a constitution granting freedom of religious choice. Yes we American take our faith seriously as well. And we take seriously our...
