   coffeegirl7 replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

   By the way, did they review the code of conduct HR policy with you? What you did is not ok, but if there is no policy that states anything about personal conduct on hospital property, you might have a...

2. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

   coffeegirl7 replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Being in Nursing Leadership, I am always suspicious when I interview a nurse who is currently not employed because they resigned with no other job lined up. Yes you may get fired, but most HR...

   coffeegirl7 replied to sueff's topic in Retired Nurses

   My apologies...certainly wouldn't yell at you...should have bolded and underlined to emphasize the words I was trying to emphasize. And agreeing to disagree is a great idea because I am not asking...

   coffeegirl7 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   But, these people you are comparing them to are not in an INTERNSHIP!!!! This is their permanent job...not an EDUCATIONAL experience beyond their completion of their BSN. It is a temporary...

   coffeegirl7 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   This internship, is just that...AN INTERNSHIP. And it's paid...not everyone could do it. But for some, who are in a financial position to do it, will survive the 6 months, and be in a better...

   coffeegirl7 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

   This isn't really relevant to nursing dx, but what program are you in doing BSN to DNP? I haven't found one, but would love to know where you are attending so I can look into that program!! As far as...

9. Aldrete Score

   coffeegirl7 replied to coffeegirl7's topic in PACU

    coffeegirl7 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't think anyone was here to not want to help people-a point I made was that I had to work hard to get a job that was well paying, once i had experience. I graduated during the last nursing job...

    coffeegirl7 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Bottom line-don't apply for the job if you are insulted by the wage. Period. End of story. As a previous poster said, this wouldnt even be an issue if they weren't paying at all. Show me where, you...

    coffeegirl7 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I get what you are saying--where your outrage at $11.44 an hour is coming from. BUT...you don't have a clue what you would be doing in an ICU critical care area, MGH no less. Do you have ANY IDEA...

    I'm wondering if you are using a formal Aldrete Score on your PACU flowsheet/recovery sheet, or incorporate the criteria in your assessment? Our department is undergoing some staffing changes with...
