1. Hospital New Grad Orientation. I feel like quitting nursing.

   panurse9999 replied to PinoyRN123's topic in General Nursing

   My best guess is that you have a preceptor (s) who do not have the first clue of how to share knowledge, teach, and keep a new person motivated. Or they simply just do not want to teach/ orient, but they are forced to, because no one else has enough ...

2. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

   panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

   Almost all of my interviews have been a cross section of somewhat tolerable to off the charts obnoxious, with me gathering my things and hitting the road without even saying thanks. One moron even opened up a thick file of resumes and read them while...

4. Resign first or wait until I find out if I'm fired?

   panurse9999 replied to FallingInPlace's topic in General Nursing

   they are laying the groundwork for your demise. If you can afford to walk, walk now.

5. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

   panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

   So has the job market gotten any better, since we were last talking about this "lack of work" problem in PA? Anyone?

6. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

   panurse9999 replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

   Finding work is a major problem, I can promise you that much, at least here in PA. Does anyone know of any decent travel companies?

7. Onerous Onboarding With Nasty Nellie, The Job That Lasted a Week

   panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

   There is a mega-magnet hospital in my digs that has had a hiring freeze for 2 years, ( and its well known) yet they gobble up broadband space on indeed.com and others spamming the job boards with fake ads, that they have no intention of filling. What...

   panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

   yes. At the $25,000 conference room table. Don't forget, the deck is stacked against the nurse. The new nurse will be $2.00 less per hour. At 2,080 annual hours, they made back the $25.00 background check fee, and the $100 physical. With $$$ in the b...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Normally, I would agree, but because corporations are neither bears or bulls, but rather big pigs, it has become one fast race to the bottom. The saturation of the job market in healthcare allows them to keep offloading their staff to hire cheaper wo...

11. Nurses March into Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Health Commission Meeting

    panurse9999 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Union

    Per diem nursing is a staffing by vending machine model. Tap a button, and a nurse appears. These are "on call" nurses who collect no benefits of any kind. If they actually had to play by the rules and hire full time staff, the costs would rise. Noth...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Yes true. They "audition" new people. Training is something different. If training actually took place, nurses would not be leaving the bedside in droves. It costs nothing to "audition" new hires. Training is where the $$ is. And training is rare. On...

    Great advice. I may be vocal in here, but in nursing, I spoke with my feet in the direction of the door. Like I said, the only industry that has sustained itself with constant employee turnover is fast food. Stay tuned for my next topic.

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I remember how confident I was as a new grad, with an ADN and degrees from other careers under my belt, as a second career RN. I had a whole lot of life experience before I was a nurse. This only hurt me in nursing. My confidence got under the skin o...

15. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    panurse9999 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    You were framed for misconduct because they found a cheaper new hire and forced you out the door, to keep the profit rolling. Been there done that. Yes they need to be sued. Yes it will cost you a fortune. Then you run the risk of being blackballed e...
