    Agnus replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    Mom, Dad, Kids, Imagine this. It is Christmas day and someone gets really sick or even gets hurt on the new sled or bike they got for Christmas. OR worse they get in a car crash on their way to...

  10. very very very bad bad man

    Agnus replied to Danianne's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know the regulating agency that controls operation of these facilities in Cannada. You should report to that agency. Additionally you might consider going to the media. They LOVE this...

    Is on call mandatory? Is it over and above your 40 hour week? If so then yes it is. Contact your local labor board and see what they say. Contact SEIU.org. This is a service union that...

  14. taking students, precepting

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Just an added thought. I do not see student bashing going on here. I do see bashing by (a few) students toward nurses who, for what ever reason, choose not to take on students. Unfortunately some...

  15. taking students, precepting

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps, I did not tell you that I used to precept. I took students eagerly and loved it. I still enjoy seeing students learn and often informally teach these students that I no longer precept. I...

  19. Enlon Medical Center Chico

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in California Nursing

  22. Applying a job on the internet

    Agnus replied to jjchko's topic in General Nursing

    I have had replies within the hour. On the other hand I have had replys months later. It just depends on the employer and how agressive they are at recuriting. Some reply by email, some by phone,...

  23. Did I do the right thing? (long)

    Agnus replied to Sapphy's topic in General Nursing

    All you can do is continue to keep reporting it as it occures. Fill out incident reports as appropriate. Help your DON build a case. Since talking and evaluations have had no effect if you and you...
