    MJB2010 replied to RNsuperstar's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to try the sunglasses thing! I am back on nights after over a year on days at a different position and am trying hard to adjust. I seem to get a splitting headache every night i work...

    MJB2010 replied to danarooo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You just have to keep your head up and keep trying.My first bit of advice would be a total revamp of the resume. Have ti ready to cut and paste into all the online apps. Those online apps are usually...

  3. These two hats are wearing me down

    MJB2010 replied to Futterwacken's topic in General Nursing

    What is the issue that has them all quitting? It needs to be addressed before all the nurses quit,

  4. Why I became a nurse

    MJB2010 replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The moments when you get to feel like you are really bringing comfort to someone, those are the moments that remind us why we are

  7. Need help regarding insulin policy in LTC

    MJB2010 replied to anielle's topic in General Nursing

    Good riddance to this place. Be thankful you are out of there with your license intact. Does not seem like a very safe or stellar work environment having given you only 3 days

  8. Legal issues with only having one RN on the floor

    MJB2010 replied to photocodo's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, for my own sanity, I quit and left it behind. No one else was willing to speak up for themselves, and when I spoke up I was standing alone. It would certainly not be worth my time to chase...

  9. Legal issues with only having one RN on the floor

    MJB2010 replied to photocodo's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly notified my manager in writing via email (11 times total) that it was illegal to keep deducting breaks that I did not get , I don't work for free. They did it to everyone in my clinic....

  10. Legal issues with only having one RN on the floor

    MJB2010 replied to photocodo's topic in General Nursing

    You must be in my state! When I called to inquire about the laws while working 16 hour shifts I was told a 30 minute meal break is not mandated by law, but a 15 minute rest period was. Funny thing...

  11. Few questions

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks for the perspective. I really am against just having 1 RN there at a time. It is so unsafe. Mine was 12 chairs, 3 full shifts x 6 days a week. 1 RN for the entire shift, 2 techs in the am,...

  12. Legal issues with only having one RN on the floor

    MJB2010 replied to photocodo's topic in General Nursing

    This. As the only RN working working in a dialysis unit, I was left alone as the only license in the building regularly. Technically I was not allowed to leave the floor for any reason. I had to pee...

  13. Sad state of affairs!

    MJB2010 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering what state you live in. It is sad that healthcare workers are not given decent health care! It should make people angry! I know in some of the states, new grads make 18 bucks an hour,...

  14. hours worked

    MJB2010 replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    I actually get it a lot. But from the same 2 people. One of my friends is always asking me to do things for her because I ONLY work 3 days a week. Nope, sorry! Watch your own kids or hire a...

  15. I want to curl up in a ball and cry

    MJB2010 replied to JenniferA428's topic in General Nursing

    If this is how disorganized they are trying to get someone in the door, this is not a place you want to work. Imagine trying to get an incorrect paycheck fixed, or put in for a vacation. Run like heck...

  16. Has anyone attended the University of Wyoming?

    MJB2010 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone currently in this program? Has the communication improved over the years? WOuld love to hear from current or past

  17. New Grad Career Advice

    MJB2010 replied to nyemt2005's topic in General Nursing

    The ICU job is an actual offer and the tele job is a "maybe" with no offer, right? I would take the icu job. You can always go from icu to tele later on, but it would be harder to get an icu job...

  18. Help!! Job offer dilemma.....

    MJB2010 replied to sweetnlow4's topic in General Nursing

    Do you like your current job? I know you are driving far, but where I live, Kindred has a horrible reputation. Can you dig a little and find out if the one near you has adequate staffing and a better...

  19. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    MJB2010 replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am guessing they are looking for new grads because they are not willing to pay experienced

  20. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    MJB2010 replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am also curious as to why, if you found the resume so comical and outlandish, did you invite her in for an interview? I am guessing you limited your applicant pool by stating no experience necessary...

  21. Seasonal nursing

    MJB2010 replied to Pnwmx's topic in General Nursing

    Does your contract allow for personal leave of absence? I would look into that. Otherwise it seems like seasonal would mean losing all of your benefits and seniority unless you stay on prn and work...

  22. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    MJB2010 replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am wondering OP, if you are qualified to interview applicants? You seem to be lacking the basic skills of hiring and getting to the meat of the applicant. I think the one that mentioned the vacation...

  25. physical demands?

    MJB2010 replied to bonquilt's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    You will be on your feet ALL day running in circles. You will bend a lot, but you will not be doing a lot of lifting. Occassionally you need to boost a patient in the chair, but most of the patients...
