  1. Im looking for advice on handling a unique situation with a prior employer. I resigned 6 weeks into a PRN position orientation at a large hospital system d/t a toxic work environment. I started a...
  2. Private personal caregiver

    The term personal caregiver is considered non - medical. There are some programs that offer a certification but certainly not for an RN. Do you mean private
  3. After much consideration, and a consultation with an attorney - I decided to move on to another position. I appreciate all of the feedback from this site, it was helpful and realistic. Thank
  4. Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback that has been shared with me, it has been valuable. blueskies - as a business manager that hires nurses- do you ask them why they are leaving...
  5. I understand that it looks like I just walked away. As I mentioned it was an unusual situation where I knew it was safest for me to get out. My integrity came into play when I chose to not publicly...
  6. I agree, leaving without notice is not something I ever thought I would do. I made an assumption that since I was on orientation it would not be the same as leaving a full staff position. Also - I was...
  7. Yes, but right now all the clients are on Epic. If the company gets contracts with other non- Epic hospitals then yes, I could do
  8. Thank you for these responses. Despite the fact that its not what I wanted to hear I appreciate the perspectives, and I think they are realistic. I regret that I didn't ask for feedback before I...
  9. If I am able to get a meeting with HR - to share my experience in my 6 week orientation - who should I bring with me? This organization has shown their bully-like behavior and I wouldn't want...
  10. I did reach out to the state labor board, they suggested I contact an atty. But I am going to contact them again tomorrow. Thank
  11. I'm at a loss right now. I did submit a summary to their HR dept explaining my 6 week experience there and why I left abruptly. Despite my negative experience, it's really not the path I want to go...
  12. My new position is with a virtual nursing service that utilizes a camera to interact with the patient to collect medical info including med list, history etc. ( basically admission and discharge...
  13. It is my understanding that I am only blocked from accessing the Epic system for this large hospital. If I got a job at another organization that uses Epic I don't think I would have a problem....
  14. I am not sure how the other nurses landed on the do not rehire list. But it sounds like they were removed fairly easily. I understand that an organization can decide to not rehire people - even...
  15. Thank you - The other factors include that I resigned while orientation - which I feel like most organizations view differently. It was a toxic, dysfunctional environment to put it lightly -...
  16. No its not Nazi Germany? But it would be assumed that healthcare workers should be morally/ethically responsible by practicing social distancing in order to keep their coworkers and patients safe. I...
  17. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    In South Carolina - we are waiting for the storm. I'm wondering if any hospitals/ units are cohorting staff. Right now we are over staffed - as positive cases start to come in the chance of staff...
  18. HACC points system question

    It is not impossible - but less than 20% get through it. Did you call and get their numbers? Defining "hard" - of course you have to study all the time - that is not the problem. It is the 15-20 hrs...
  19. HACC points system question

    Its more of a "push out rate" than a drop out rate. If they question your ability they set you up in a situation that you can't handle - and watch you fall. Then they document all this in what they...
  20. HACC points system question

    I don't mean to burst your bubble - but getting into the RN program at HACC is not the problem. Most students have a 3.6-4.0 but not many of those make it out. ASK questions about how many students...
