    A worthy goal, indeed. "A blessing in disguise" is how I'm looking at it, also. Thank you for the empathy and good thoughts, Triciaj. You're a great support and virtual

    How interesting! Knitting and crocheting! I'm impressed with the way you all make your fingers and needle dance with yarn and thread and produce those lovely pieces of work. Belinda does that also....

    I didn't think of this either, Daisy, as I've got about 50 hours of frozen vacation time when I started weekend option back in '03. I should have a little PTO, too. You and TriciaJ have given me food...

    I did not even think of this, but don't believe they will give me paid time off, TriciaJ. I was the one who said, "I will not be accepting any work assignments until (certain criteria is met)". HR...

    I just sent this email to HR Rita. I want her to know that I'm not just resting on my laurels and am being proactive: I have just spoken with Jackie, the administrative secretary, and she informed me...

    I was into a freelance art thing from 1996 to 2003, making some money from shows and commissions. Before and since then, I do my art for free or barter. While working ER/med surg at Buoy Memorial in...

    It has been said, "If you don't like the weather here in the midwest, wait five minutes". So now it is dark, cold, and cloudy. I did, however, get a couple of projects done. I talked with CEO Ted's...

    I plan to go out and do some yard work on this sunny day, but wanted to respond to your posts before I did so: Thanks for your interest and involvement, Grumpy. I'd be interested to know how the...

    I'm on a day schedule, basically sleeping from nine to six, and my body loves it. And to top it all off, I get to awaken to these nice posts! No one called me yesterday, no aneurysms suffered,...

    Thank you, yaRNthrower. My simple little cartoons are immensely enjoyable for me to create and are a true catharsis. It makes me happy to know you enjoy them. I'm waiting by my phone in my art room...

    Pediatric Behavioral Health help

    Davey Do replied to pedspsychnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused by " I’ve been working in a residential and acute pediatric facility" and "I asked them what I can do to rectify it and they said nothing to try and stay off the unit" but it...

    Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    Davey Do replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in General Nursing

    After a certain amount of time, an hour I believe, the option to edit a post expires. The ability to edit for a longer time span is a perc for paying members. We need to examine why certain things...

    "IMPRUDENT PRIORITIES" I came up with this phrase, that I plan to use PRN, to describe administration's, and especially HR's, take on Wrongway's workings. Last August, I had a thread titled something...

    Nursing new grad wanting to develop trauma/ER skills: Better to start in rural ER or big city med unit?

    Davey Do replied to skihan's topic in General Nursing

    I worked med-surg and ER in a small rural hospital back in the early '90's and it was called a band-aid station and not much more than that. Not that I didn't like it or learn a thing or two, but I...
