  2. California New Grad taking job out of state, what are my chances of getting back to CA?

    cleback replied to sunflow3rz's topic in General Nursing

    My husband moved from PA to WI for his job after graduation. He intended to stay for only 1-2 years then move back home. Then I happened. :) and it's ten years later. Keep and open mind and open...

  3. Is this a fair holiday schedule

    cleback replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    My old manager tried to do this once. I think it makes the most sense for night shifters... and really, anyone attempting to travel for the holidays...But days shifters threw a

  4. Is this a fair holiday schedule

    cleback replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. Do you have kids? I'm thinking that's why you want Halloween off. Are the nonmajor holiday requests based on senority? If not, maybe you can trade with kidless folks. As a childless young...

  5. Nurses aggravating my patients.

    cleback replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, yikes... wow. I'd be livid. Use that example with the manager. S/he should know that

  6. Loud Cartoons for Elderly Patients

    cleback replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    I vote ghost of the deceased resident. It's Halloween, afterall, and a ghost that likes cartoons somehow seems less scary than a crazy

  9. Need strategies for dealing with my kryptonite

    cleback replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pregnant and gag at everything currently. Wearing a mask helps me. Maybe its psychological. At least I can gag discreetly then in front of the

  10. Friend is sending FB requests to all ICU/ER nurses

    cleback replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe suggest searching for the manager on linkedin instead? Gently remind her Facebook is for friends and family, linkedin is for career networking. Disclaimer is I don't know the "rules" for...

  11. Nurses aggravating my patients.

    cleback replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to bring the issue up with the manager, I'd suggest using a different example. The one you gave just sounds like she's being frank with the information you gave her. Lack of...

  12. Advice, thoughts, etc

    cleback replied to tide22's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any particular concerns? I see nothing wrong with your overall plan... people change majors all the time. My only thought is to keep an open mind and flexibility. Life happens. You may...

  13. ABSN vs. Direct Entry MSN?

    cleback replied to sesw1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are correct. Don't go straight to a MSN if you don't know where you want to work yet. Nursing is generally flexible but graduate school requires you to narrow your track by quite a bit......

  14. Offer Dilemma

    cleback replied to nerdynurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can go wrong with either offer but if you feel the rehab job is more directly applicable to your future goals, go for it. You can always reconsider dialysis in the future if the...

  15. What is considered an acceptable length of new grad residency or orientation?

    cleback replied to CEMMDRN's topic in General Nursing

    ICUs near me, 6 months is standard for new grads. For the general floor, 12 weeks. I had 8 weeks as a new grad on psych. Then 12 weeks when I moved to PCU because it was a new specialty, albeit I...

  16. The life or death squatty potty

    cleback replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Able to get up and use a squatty potty and make a fuss when it's removed from her room? Sounds like she's ready to be discharged to the

  17. Question about BSN/MSN options

    cleback replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    I would highly recommend that you gain experience first and maybe ask your nurse informaticist if you can help her with a few projects. I would hate your you to spend money and time without knowing...

  18. New Grad wanting a Specialty Switch

    cleback replied to RN123abc123's topic in General Nursing

    Null point. They still invested in you and are receiving zero return on

  19. How many phone calls do you get as a bedside nurse?

    cleback replied to RNgemini's topic in General Nursing

    Therapy calls unless they have questions or need something urgently. I assume they write notes, so no need to call. No need to call before in room imaging/exams. I assume you know these will be done....

  20. What day does night shift start?

    cleback replied to LPN1118's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's typically the case... except in my facility the holiday nightshift was considered the opposite. If you were assigned to work Christmas, you actually worked the eve into Christmas day....

  21. I just need to vent

    cleback replied to LPN shots's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like the cna has some issues. I'd avoid her. I understand how unnerving it must be to work with her after the incident. But it also sounds like your boss and coworkers understand her...

  22. Thinking about changing my major

    cleback replied to FutureNurseFran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, if your advisor, who presumably knows the admissions process for your program, is telling you to switch majors, you may want to seriously listen. I see a lot of Cs for core science classes....

  23. Need advice

    cleback replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in General Nursing

    We can't give medical advice per our terms of service. Sorry. Hope you feel better

  24. Is it wrong to start infusion that will not finish till next shift?

    cleback replied to Capp's topic in Patient Medications

    Yeah, the nurse who implied that her license was at risk doesn't know what she's talking

  25. New job offer, letter of resignation

    cleback posted a topic in General Nursing

    Would you submit a letter of resignation to your old job before receiving a written offer from the new job? I received a verbal offer of employment from the hiring manager early this week. I accepted...
