  1. Left 1st Nursing job at SNF after 4 months, how do I answer the "why" interview question?

    tiddles replied to Hazel1959's topic in Nursing Career

    This nurse is not 56. You're mixing this post with the one

  2. Your worst nightmare

    tiddles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Poor Nursingaround - I don't think you're going to be able to write any posts without a load of folks jumping down your throat. I actually enjoy your stories - they offer a nice change from the usual...

  3. How does your employer expect you to deal with... *perverts*?

    tiddles replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Telephone Triage

    In my brief foray into telephone triage, callers like this were red-flagged with instructions not to triage this person. They were to be instructed to call their pcp or go to the

  4. Aetna work from home tele case manager rn

    tiddles replied to cc_RN's topic in Telephone Triage

    I was told by a potential employer that it's not a job you can do and watch kids at the same time. You have to have a dedicated work space without any

  5. Is it just me?

    tiddles replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yeah - it's amazing that no matter how severe the budget crunch, the CEO always gets his (always a HE) humungo salary and

  6. You won't believe.....

    tiddles replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious storm in a teacup, people! I'd love to see how this poor sensitive student reacts when patients and family members are rude to her, and doctors cuss her out for calling them in the middle of...

  7. Anyone ever tell you, you would never be able to become a nurse? Proved them wrong?!

    tiddles replied to taraer1206's topic in General Nursing

    When I found out I had passed my exams, I was allowed to look at my student file and because I am nosy I did. As part of the selection process, the nursing school had contacted all of my high school...

  8. Thoughts on First Week

    tiddles replied to KansasNurseD's topic in Correctional

    I have been working in a state prison for just under a year and I really enjoy it (most days, anyway). I too was surprised at how pleasant the inmates are, especially after finding out what they were...

  9. What's in your pockets?

    tiddles replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

  10. Last name on namebadge

    tiddles replied to mightymitern's topic in General Nursing

    Wherever I've worked it's been first name and last initial. Although I'm referred to as the nurse who "talks funny" (accent, not speech impediment) so everyone knows who they

  11. What happened to make him die?

    tiddles replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    As Aknottedyarn said, it was just his time to go. Try not to stress about it. I'm pretty sure he ain't stressing right

  12. You know you're Old School when...

    tiddles replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I remember drinking Christmas day champaigne with the patients unfortunate enough to have to stay in for Christmas. I also remember ALL patients giving the nurses a huge box of chocolates at...

  13. Working prn while working elsewhere part time

    tiddles replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I know plenty of nurses who work full time as well as per diem somewhere else. Crazy if you ask me. No one seems to mind, it's almost expected around here. Especially in this day and age of spouses...

  14. Medical Case Management Group (MCMG)

    tiddles replied to bknyrn's topic in Case Management

    I contacted them through their web site and sent them my resume. I had a phone interview then they sent me a contract to sign. I also had to purchase liability insurance. That was over a month ago and...

  15. Most trivial complaint ever?

    tiddles replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    A patient had a hissy fit at me once because I yawned (well it was 3 am!) I love reading these posts - it reinforces my vow to stay away from bedside

  16. Has anyone worked at Disney?

    tiddles posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I saw on indeed.com that Disney (Orlando) was looking for nurses. They were offering $14 an hour. I couldn't imagine any nurse working for that pittance..unless the benefits are

  18. Should I Go Into Nursing

    tiddles replied to hope4thehurting's topic in Nursing Career

    You shouldn't let anyone tell you yes or no on such an important decision. As others said, volunteer or job shadow to see if it's something you'd like. It's a huge financial commitment to make in this...

    tiddles replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    That's hilarious. Don't you just love waking someone at 4am to do their

  20. Nursey things that you'll NEVER say again.

    tiddles replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Being asked by a triage nurse in the ED "Did you try to get into your family doctor?" No - I would much prefer to go to the ER and pay a zillion dollar copay. How annoying - I would never ask someone...

  21. Drug Testing

    tiddles replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I once borrowed a friend's sleeping pill for a long flight. Started a new job several days later..drug result came back positive, they came and marched me off the floor in the middle of a shift....

  22. Nobody Likes A Tattle Tail

    tiddles replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    The last place I worked, the worst gossip was a male nurse. He would be sweet as pie to you then stab you in the back. He didn't tattle tho, far as I know. Our manager loved tattlers..they were like...

  23. managements new idea for call-lights

    tiddles replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I would have handed in my notice the day that board went up. This crap reinforces my desire to stay away from the bedside and stupid managers. My last manager would occasionally grace us with her...

    tiddles replied to bknyrn's topic in Case Management

    I just signed on with this company. It's been a week and I haven't heard anything from them about work. I e mailed yesterday and haven't gotten a response. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to be...

    tiddles replied to StudentOnceAgain's topic in General Nursing

    Wow - I couldn't have said it better! And it's our fault for tolerating in. Not me..I'm too old for that crap. A few months ago I made an official complaint about a surgeon who was VILE to me on the...
