  1. Email resignation?

    cb_rn replied to livingonadream's topic in General Nursing

    You can quit however you want, of course, (and I can see you already have) but not respecting or admiring a nurse manager and working in a right to work state is not a reason to disregard employee...

  2. I HATE nursing! (long)

    cb_rn replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Think about getting into informatics, if you don't mind

  3. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    cb_rn replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, how is this thread considered mean or nasty when the thread about things you would love to say to patients is massive? When you spend 8 to 12 hours with a group of people on a regular...

  4. Tuberculosis Exposure

    cb_rn replied to kritter01's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How did your fiance find this out? Is it hearsay or did the person in question or manager actually pass along this information. If I were her I WOULD NOT go about spreading this information, its not...

  5. Advice needed

    cb_rn replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with post about termination terminology. Technically you terminated your ability to have the insurance as a regular employee, hence that nasty termination wording and would have to have COBRA if...

  6. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    cb_rn replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing is not just long term care. Its patient care. No matter what job you take if its hospital based involves some degree of cleaning messes, assisting with the potty, doing dressings that...

  7. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    cb_rn replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Yeh, give that about 2 weeks and see if her delusions of grandeur have cleared

  8. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    cb_rn replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    If I were you I would make take great pains to make sure you don't get a defensive tone again, no matter how unfair you may find her assessment of you. Maybe you are in the right but arguing with her...

  9. No Oncology Lecture ADN Program

    cb_rn replied to Charlotto's topic in General Nursing

    Careful not to lump everyone in that category. There are some stellar teachers who do it for the love of teaching. There are a lot of stereotypes in nursing (eating the young, those that can't teach,...

  10. Home Health Marketer

    cb_rn replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I knew one and she spent a good deal of her day sweet talking and schmoozing doctors for referrals and then, when that didn't work, chasing them around blindly to sign the orders that were about to be...

  11. job hunt in LA

    cb_rn replied to bieRN's topic in California Nursing

    I think there is a new grad program at one of the Anaheim hospitals. You might try doing a google search, seems like I saw ads for it on something I was looking at

  12. Do we really need a MD's order for this?

    cb_rn replied to Plagueis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    And I've seen transplant patients get raw salads even though we clearly teach them in pre-op that no uncooked vegetables or fruits should be eaten. You can imagine the patient's confusion when the...

  13. What kind of RN experience for FNP?

    cb_rn replied to DoodlesNoodles's topic in General Nursing

    In my FNP program the emphasis has been more on what clinicals we choose, rather than what field we are working in as nurses at present. I've heard that from a lot of already employed NPs as well,...

  14. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    cb_rn replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was unemployed in Southern Ca (relocated here) and put in about 20 applications total from San Diego to Los Angeles, some for jobs that had requirements for experience I didn't have. 2 of those jobs...

  15. Kindred Hospital

    cb_rn replied to wizard100's topic in General Nursing

    They ask you a series of questions on behaviors such as name a time someone let you know they were having trouble. What did you do about it? What was the outcome? Be prepared to cite specific examples...

  16. How much MONEY do you make? (questionaire)

    cb_rn replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I always see people ask about Southern California so for a nurse with five years or less experience with a BSN you can expect roughly: Staff nurse: between $33-37 per hour with $3-5 shift diffs and...

  17. Paths to nursing specialty?

    cb_rn replied to wannabecnl's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you that its kind of confusing to navigate the waters of how to break into a new specialty. Even as an experienced nurse its not always easy to get someone to hire you in a different type...

  18. Interview for a full time job but want per diem

    cb_rn replied to stram87's topic in General Nursing

    You might find that they dont want to invest the time and money to train someone with no psych experience if you are only going to work PRN. How to bring it up to the recruiter -- clearly and early...

  19. RN Supervisor tips please.

    cb_rn replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    #1...do not bend the rules for some people and not for others. you will immediately lose credibility and be seen as one that plays favorites. Enforce the policies fairly across the board for

  20. Mom of two has an important career decision to make, need advice, please.

    cb_rn replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    You absolutely need someone to help watch the kids during the day so you can get a few hours sleep. Otherwise its just not safe. I prefer to not work my 3 days in a row so that I'm not sleeping the...

  21. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    cb_rn replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding - and I could be wrong - was a PA was limited to performing things his supervising MD could do IE if the MD was not qualified to insert a PICC for ex, the PA could not, however if an...

  22. Job dilemma! Just looking for advice

    cb_rn replied to HaylyAmber's topic in General Students

    Do you know why they are really desperate for help? Not saying it is, but that could be a major red flag if they need new staff constantly because they can't keep their current ones. I'm not saying...

  23. What do you have to wear???

    cb_rn replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    The new Wink! scrubs feel awesome and I don't get butt-peek-a-boo when I bend over to do stuff. My favorite job ever was attached to a large hospital with a rather popular sports team so we could wear...

  24. How I got my (new grad) job...

    cb_rn replied to Hootnhollern's topic in General Nursing

    Great job! A good interview can make or break you, no matter what your previous experience or

  25. Sex Offender as a home care patient?

    cb_rn replied to Frosty08's topic in Home Health

    Well the good news is you were firm with him and set boundaries from the beginning, without even knowing there was any kind of history. When I did homecare we a rule that if you felt uncomfortable in...
