  1. Nurses with Contracts

    SC_RNDude replied to JMR83's topic in General Nursing

    Has your employer lived up to their part of the contract? Usually not. If they haven't, then the contract isn't binding. My sample size is small, but, in my experience these contracts are designed...

  2. Denver Health vs. Centura Health vs. HealthONE

    SC_RNDude replied to gulfcoastRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Adding to that, St A has also had and continues to have high manager turnover the last few years all over the

  3. Epic care plans and goals

    SC_RNDude replied to djamies's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough. I understand you have a job to do. However, I am perplexed. You hate care plans (I agree), but you think they are as helpful as they have ever been (I disagree)? I know you didn't get...

  4. Epic care plans and goals

    SC_RNDude replied to djamies's topic in General Nursing

    My spidey senses tell me you are not a nurse. From my experience, nurses (including myself) despise epic care plans. I would say most don't bother with "what the patient wants", and don't put too...

  5. Possible to break Rn Residency contract

    SC_RNDude replied to blueeyedboxer's topic in General Nursing

    Don't waste you $$$ on a attorney. Tell them you changed your mind. They probably don't want to bother with someone who doesn't want to be there before they have even started. If that doesn't work,...

  6. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    SC_RNDude replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And that is different from other news outlets in what

  7. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    SC_RNDude replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I especially like the doc who points out how fast a patient can deteriorate. He forgot to mention who is usually the one who would first pick up on

  8. Change of shift admissions

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ED, where there is plenty of structure and routine, like chest pain orders, neutropenia w/fever orders (as in your example), etc. And, a lot more resources available then what I had on...

  9. Change of shift admissions

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, easy there. I think the point was that not everything "structured and routine" on the floor like you think. Yes, we do get 200 or more patients down in the ED sometimes. And, 75% of them aren't...

  10. Work declining vacation request?

    SC_RNDude replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    The OP asked a dumb question (and seems to have vanished). Springchick is the only one who has presented an answer other then the obvious. Meanwhile, the rest of us have been wasting our time in a...

  11. Work declining vacation request?

    SC_RNDude replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly my point. My work does to. They are expecting and planning on people taking vacations. So, if the week is not taken already, then it shouldn't be too late to request the time off unless one...

  12. Work declining vacation request?

    SC_RNDude replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience ( yep I work too), at "most places" the only reason it would be late is if someone else beat her to requesting that time off or if her schedule has already been set for that

  13. Job offer dilemma

    SC_RNDude replied to Midwest.rn's topic in General Nursing

    You need advice for

  14. Work declining vacation request?

    SC_RNDude replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Unless someone else has this time off already, how is 3 months in advance considered a "late"

  15. Work declining vacation request?

    SC_RNDude replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    . Ya...in my 20+ years of my adult working life (nursing and pre-nurse), I've always accrued vacation time as I go. I've never had to wait longer than a few months. I certainly wouldn't make it a...

  16. Why the MBA in nursing grad programs?

    SC_RNDude replied to b-hutch's topic in General Nursing

    It's a marketing angle to get one to spend a boatload of $$$ at their

  17. Nurse Innovators Hub - Our Latest Addition

    SC_RNDude replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    I like the idea, although when I was expecting something else when I thought of "innovators hub". I don't generally think of bloggers as

  18. Wording for Resigning

    SC_RNDude replied to missmaddie's topic in General Nursing

    While yes, it would be smart to be diplomatic, let me present the other side of the coin. If the new job is going well, and you are very certain you'll be there awhile, you'll likely never the old...

  19. Nurse considering law school

    SC_RNDude replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    Would you be kind enough to share where you earned your JD without spending a ton of money? Dud you take the bar

  20. Nurse considering law school

    SC_RNDude replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    So, it was worth tens of thousands of dollars, all that work, time away from things you enjoy, to learn how to protect yourself as a nurse? What kind of practice are you going to

  21. Nurse considering law school

    SC_RNDude replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    It was worth it? How so? What are you doing with

  22. Getting bored. Recommedations?

    SC_RNDude replied to Yitong_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't bring beer to

  23. 3rd Shift Disability Resources

    SC_RNDude replied to happyclouds's topic in General Nursing

    What is your medical condition that makes you unable to work nights? I'm sure I could get my doctor to say I shouldn't work nights, but I don't think that would be fair. Plus, I like to be liked by...

  24. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    SC_RNDude replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the ED now, and am able to get my charting done. Maybe it's because I don't have to waste my time playing phone tag with the floor nurse to give a verbal report. True enough about opinions. I...
