  1. The fingernail police!!

    movealong replied to RN92's topic in General Nursing

    I keep my nails neat, but on the shorter side. Fake nails or real nails, either way, when they are long, I think they pose a problem. I always wondered how some nurses could work in gloves without the...

  2. Nurses crossing picket lines??

    movealong replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry but not everyone's experience is the same. I was a union nurse for 13 years. Never once did I hear anything remotely similiar to " I'll tell the union on you". Nobody ran to the union for any or...

  3. Nurses crossing picket lines??

    movealong replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would not cross a picket line. Morally, for me, it's just not the right thing to do. however, I would never harm anyone that did. But my opinion of them would certainly suffer. I worked in a closed...

  4. Strike Vote

    movealong replied to husker-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When a strike vote was passed at one place I worked, I got prepared. Actually I starting getting ready a couple months before it went to vote ( we all knew when our contract was coming up). By ready,...

  6. Homesick for Cottonwood

    movealong replied to Spiritwalker's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Spiritwalker, I'm not exactly 100% sure what I'm going to do. I'm trying to decide. I'm doing what is in front of me. I came home and started getting my house here ready to sell. Painting everything....

  8. What Freaks You Out?

    movealong replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Maggots, yes, I have seen them. Gives me the willies, as does any infestation: scabies, lice. I always start to itch afterwards. But the worst is bubbly trachs. Ick! And the smell of a bad GI bleed. I...

  12. Working through the holidays?

    movealong replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Almost every nursing job I had included working holidays. The best arrangement (IMHO) was one hospital where if it was your holiday to work, you worked the weekend associated with it. That way one...

  14. Home-Based Options

    movealong replied to jae82301's topic in General Nursing

    I've been doing telephone triage from home for the last year. It's awesome overall. I woke up late the other day, had 10 minutes before my shift started. It was no problem: fed the dog, pulled on some...

  16. Need Your Opinion Please

    movealong replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    I changed jobs a year ago, and it involved a pay cut. But 1 year later, though I have less $, I made the right

  17. Mixed Med/Surg unit with tele not being watched

    movealong replied to Stryker's topic in General Nursing

    Truthfully, I would have to research the legal implications to be able to answer your questions. I would be uncomfortable with the situation personally. IMHO, telemetry means being monitored, and to...

  18. Resignation Via E-Mail

    movealong replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    It's very poor form to send her message in an email. It is not professional. If she were serious about informing people in charge of problems, specific instances should have been used. However, I...

    In my first aide kit I have in my car some 2x2's, 4x4's, 3 abd pads, band aids, steristrips, tape, an ace wrap, kerlix, antibx ointment, a sling, several masks, gloves, a suture needle and silk. The...

  20. Call reviews.

    movealong replied to proview's topic in Telephone Triage

    That's a shame. I do get to see the checklist. so can see whatever areas I am strong or weak in. Gosh, that should be the point. Out calls are randomly selected, I can't remember off the top of my...

  22. Mixed Med/Surg unit with tele not being watched

    movealong replied to Stryker's topic in General Nursing

    I worked on a larger tele floor, we had 25 patients or so. Each was on a monitor. And yes, we did have a watcher. Of course the patients were more acute on this floor. We also had to run off strips...

  23. Strike Vote

    movealong replied to husker-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hang in there! I worked at a place where we once approved a strike vote. But we didn't have to go out on strike. The contract offers improved after the strike vote was

  24. looking for home-based triage position

    movealong replied to Jana Stephens's topic in Telephone Triage

    They do let nurses work different amount of hours for their shifts. They do offer benefits (I'm single, so I have to have a job with benefits). I believe they are prorated for part timers. They also...
