warntracker.com I don't know if hospitals are exempt from this, but businesses with a certain amount of employees are supposed to file a notice if they're doing a mass layoff 60 days before it happens with the state. Some sort of federal ruling....

Maybe narrow it down a bit? There are different types of strokes, you can focus on ischemic (the most common) or hemorrhagic or specifically subarachnoid. You can easily get 5 pages out of stroke, but I'd definitely choose a specific type.

mmc51264- I think the poster is referring to certain medications used to treat autoimmune diseases (eg methotrexate) can be used as abortives and therefore it's getting hard to get methotrexate due to current policy/ law. (just a guess)

I don't really have any advice other than the CM I usually have worked with are often understaffed and seem to be "pulled in 10 different directions". It's just 10 different directions than bedside nurses.

When it came time for senior placements for whatever they called it...like a 2 week internship in various clinical settings...your GPA determined what place in line you got to choose your clinical. So if you reeaaallly wanted one of 10 peds positions...

are you saying they were pulled and not given under your ID?

I hate the term 'expired'. Food expires. I prefer to use 'celestial discharge'. 🙂

No experience with it, but I'd say both lack of diversity is a problem but also a company that is heavily staffed by family and friends? Run far far away. So many potential problems with that business model.

It's going to pose more of a problem with a re-certification if y'all aren't assessing the deficits. If your mNIHSS is only assessing LOC and extremities but the deficits are sensory or speech, what good is it going to do? How do you catch a patient ...

I have also not heard of salaried bedside positions. I would say the answer depends on the position. Hourly- you should be getting compensated for any overtime. Salaried jobs tend to be more flexible...eg you may work late Monday and take off a...

Keep it in. In other fields it's completely normal to leave out stuff you did years and years ago to condense a resume and keep things relevant, or leave out short stays, however nursing likes to pay people based on years experience. (Learned that t...

That turkey, is in fact, meat. Couldn't figure out why we never had vegetarian options for work lunches. Turns out the person ordering the food thought turkey was considered vegetarian.

Eating/ drinking in patient care areas is an OSHA regulation. Gotta take it up with them. TJC enforces OSHA.

Who is going to remember a PIN number to recite back? I can't even remember 90% of the passwords I'm required to have for literally everything these days. Been in the field for ~20 years, no patient has ever complained to me about asking for the...

Virtual hug!!

Agreed, the job I'm currently in had a completely different job description when it was posted (the title didn't match the description at all). HR does weird stuff.

See, I wouldn't call that left-wing, Emergent. Sounds like standard Right-wing corporate "cut as much cost as possible" junk. ? I wasn't aware people were being denied employment, I have only seen insurance rates getting charged to the employee ...

23 cents more pay but if you have to pay for your own health/dental/vision that's a significant cut with no guarantee it'll change.

Hemorrhagic conversion after alteplase is less than 6%, FYI.

Honestly I've seen women wear both over the years, it's no big. (I suppose that is my opinion and couldn't say what policy was). I wouldn't think they'd cause a scene, per se, but I don't know the culture of your workplace. Only you know that. So man...

If the bartering involves breaking the rules then it's screwing your colleagues over. I absolutely hate it when I hear "but so-and-so let me do this" and now you're either the bad guy for saying no or you're on the hook for breaking the rules too.

Truth. I looked something up this week and it pulled up 133 results.

look up behavioral interviews. Healthcare loves them and it helps to have things prepared so most questions don't come out of the blue. As far as asking the interviewer? 'What qualities do people have that succeed in this role?"

Can you show them a pay stub? I've heard of things like this existing, but usually it's on the manager/director side of things- as in HR can verify your employment but policy says managers do not speak to outside agencies. I do see in your comme...

There are more than 4 types of venomous snakes in the US. Because apparently you can buy cobras very easily off the internet. And then because people are irresponsible, they get loose. Cuz that just happened in NC this week. (sigh)
