    Driving an hour to school there and back

    tyvin replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    Well I don't know how you're going to make it in life if you think that driving an hour to get what you want is too much. In real life the majority of the people I know drive at least that much one...

    PLEASE HELP Before they kick me out!

    tyvin replied to FutureRNKat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Time to get busy and look up policy and procedure related to this matter. My guess is (since you had no clue) that you weren't warned or asked for an excuse letter from a doc. So, there's basically no...

    Has anyone used a PowerPoint presentation to add to the interview?

    tyvin replied to RN 033's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hmmmmm...it depends, if I was applying for an advertising position in business maybe but nursing is personal. I think that would detach the interview to tech vs personal. I wouldn't do it. You would...

    Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    tyvin replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I got in an accident and was bidding my time when I stumbled across this site. Frankly, I was shocked to see how bad it's getting out there in our nursing world. I was so surprised that many of your...

    Termination, reflection, and moving forward

    tyvin replied to TrixieRN1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like they had it out for you...some serious nursing politics at work here. At least you're looking forward and realize your worth. Good luck to you and hopefully you can find a place that is...

    "I don't want him as my nurse"

    tyvin replied to libran1984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you're going to push it when you know they're in pain well...I would have just marked it a 10 with a note patient says 20 and then configure from there. You must choose your battles wisely; some...

    Do physicians have authority over nurses in the hospital?

    tyvin replied to sjalv's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No; plain and simple. Sure you want to be nice and work together but the jist of the post was do the docs have the authority to boss RNs around (tote that barge, lift that pale) and that's just not...

    Does Nursing School equal Depression?

    tyvin replied to Anbo3882's topic in General Students

    I sounds like you need to talk to someone...perhaps it's time for a physical and a good talk with your doctor. This type of stuff has no age limit. I was very happy in school; so now you know it's...

    3 years experiece 26/hr. Am I paid fairly?

    tyvin replied to happyn's topic in Florida Nursing

    As previously pointed out it all depends on sooooo many factors. An RN could be making 46 an hour in one town and 20 miles away that same RN would only make 16 an hour (I've seen it in OR). You name...

    Old nurse, New BSN, MED ERROR

    tyvin replied to marace's topic in General Nursing

    You tell us how busy you were and how you saved many lives via the pharmacy but I think you still feel guilty over the other person being fired. And what does your BSN have to do with a med error? A...

    You have a right to privacy. The drug testing co. cannot disclose to the employer what prescribed meds you are period. When the lab calls you then disclose to the doctor you're legal Rx and the phone...

    Under Investigation at work?

    tyvin replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting...have you asked your union rep what it's about? Since you are still working I really don't see how it could be that negative. You don't need a lawyer; if it came to that the union has...

    Under Investigation at work?

    tyvin replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in General Nursing

    Take the union rep in asap to find out what's up. Nursing politics are at work here...or at least that's what it sounds like. It could have been a patient complaint or a staff complaint. I'll wager to...

    Hourly vs Salary

    tyvin replied to adamsmom2's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant
