  1. Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    IMustBeCrazy replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    The way I see it, the answer is in the middle. I want to maximize my happiness and quality of life as well as being paid well. As with most professions it seems, the two are inversely proportional....

  2. Desperate !!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to mika1's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that you had run into this situation before in January. What solutions did you come up with at that

  3. Desperate !!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to mika1's topic in General Nursing

    Several ideas. 1) Talk to someone ASAP at the Salvation Army. They have a food bank there as well as emergency funds. I would think that they might have some options for you, especially since you...

  4. Are you paid when you clock out, or end of shift?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to lovemylab's topic in General Nursing

    3 words: State Labor Board. Call them. What they are doing is illegal. They are tampering with time clock info. If you work it, they HAVE to pay you for it. I would love to be a mouse in the...

  5. Will I Find Another Nursing Job?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to needrn's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  6. Fired from job

    IMustBeCrazy replied to goingnuts's topic in General Nursing

    If that is the case (which we are guessing), she has no professional obligation to participate in such a witch hunt. At all. Despite what others have said, it is not an admission of guilt - she is...

  7. Will I Find Another Nursing Job?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to needrn's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is one of a billion jobs that people like us do every day. Every day, people quit jobs without a 2 week notice for a variety of reasons. There is no glory in being a nursing martyr or any...

  8. Fired from job

    IMustBeCrazy replied to goingnuts's topic in General Nursing

    too bad for them. you don't work there anymore (remember, they fired you - you didn't quit), and don't need to play by their rules. go, bring your attorney and attend the peer review. you are there to...

  9. Will I Find Another Nursing Job?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to needrn's topic in General Nursing

    Generally I think giving notice is the best idea in most situations. But I don't agree with calling the ex NM and sucking up. I guarantee she knew EXACTLY what was going on in her unit, and...

  10. Fired from job

    IMustBeCrazy replied to goingnuts's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, attend the peer review. However, since you are no longer employed, you have no duty to report to them whether or not you intend to be present with counsel. It is a courtesy only, and do you...

  11. clexane administration

    IMustBeCrazy replied to seotsi's topic in General Nursing

    FYI "sold as Lovenox®/Clexane® in the United States and in France, and as Clexane® in most other countries in the rest of the

  12. My daughter's got mono

    IMustBeCrazy replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Per usual, people don't realize that by the time symptoms show up they have usually already been exposed. And, more than likely the parents have been exposed to the Epstein Barr virus in their past...

  13. Ampules still being used, Ouch!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    Use 2 alcohol packets, open each, stick one on top, one on bottom of ampule and

  14. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    IMustBeCrazy replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yay! Lori, I've been following your story, and I'm sooo glad that everything is looking up for you! Let us know how you like child psych. I think kids are a great population to work with simply...

  15. Psych Nurse ="not a REAL nurse"?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    This post falls into the same category as: -ADNs are not real nurses -LPNs are not real nurses -BSN's are better suited to be nurses than -My dad can beat up your dad The trouble ain't that there is...

  16. I need some serious and honest advice please, regarding fibromyalgia and methadone

    IMustBeCrazy replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    You stated that your sister needs to be "the center of attention." This sounds a lot like someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. BPD's can't distinguish between positive or negative attention,...

  17. Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    I think breastfeeding is a personal decision and generally support whatever moms wish to do. That being said, I have a problem with the attention-seeking type -- the ones that saunter down the main...

  18. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    IMBC, "I work in PSYCH" but that doesn't make me

  19. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    This thread seems to be spiraling out of control. The former thread was locked for good reason. I have a great sense of humor, but honestly, I see nothing funny about this situation. There have been...

  20. What would you do if you worked with a racist?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Happytocare's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Huh? The poster was commenting that the racist person was

  21. Anyone know some rules about FMLA?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You need to know that your 12 weeks of FMLA does not renew a full "bank" of 12 weeks when your forms expire in October, 2006. This is how it is calculated. Let's say you signed up for FMLA October...

  22. Nursing Student Needs Help To Teach About Med Non-compliance

    IMustBeCrazy replied to InmyblooD's topic in Psychiatric

    :yeahthat: 50- 60% of all the admissions on my unit are due to med non-compliance. It is THE most difficult thing to address. Unless a pt is court-ordered to take their meds, there is honestly...

  23. Can this contract possibly be legal?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to paigeRN1962's topic in General Nursing

    I'd look into travel nursing (local contract) as a stop gap until you find something else. There are short term solutions. Good

  24. Can this contract possibly be legal?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to paigeRN1962's topic in General Nursing

    Understood. But I would still consider it 'waiving' since adding up to and exceeding 15 employees is not that difficult a target to hit. And yes, I know you can't waive a federal law. But it has...

  25. Can this contract possibly be legal?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to paigeRN1962's topic in General Nursing

    RUN DON'T WALK away from here. 1. You have posted about having to sign a highly suspect contract. 2. You have posted about narcotics discrepancies and poor recordkeeping. 3. They are asking you to...
