Don't confuse love and "love-bombing". People clap and post memes, meanwhile in my province we've been working without a contract for two years while we battle a pay cut and for our hard won right to...
It would be a stereotype if I had assumed this was always the case, which my wording intentionally precludes. It is, however, a generalization that has been shown to have an evidence base, both...
It really isn't. A 50/50 split doesn't mean just money. Often in a financially unequal relationship, the disparity is made up for in other ways. For example the 1950s housewife that's been thrown...

All this trouble could have been saved with an oxford comma ? Ie "...garbage shifts, and positions no one can fill..." Oxford comma ftw. That said, I would guess like others that the position is for...
Extenuating circumstances are a thing when it comes to real justice. And the purpose of law is ostensibly meant to be justice (though it rarely is). This is why most law systems have moved to a focus...
Yeah, most discussions of "PC" succumb quickly to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. It's helpful to actually define political correctness. Political correctness in the 90s had to do mostly with...
In Canada we have long mat leaves so positions are usually filled temporarily for a year and a half to cover that leave. In SK we can also revert to our original line in three months if we don't like...
I feel your pain. We had a pt that somehow obtained the site manager's number and called to complain vociferously that the nurses were purposefully neglecting her by refusing to get her water and ice...
It's true. I was a 45 year old bitter divorcee in a child's body. My dad called me "little grandma". One time we were discussing crazy things kids do, and I noted that I never did any of those things....
On nights we rearrange the teams or work a team alone (we have rn/lpn teams in most facilities and units), or there will be float coverage (not necessarily someone on the unit though). We also have...
I always found this odd. None of the facilities I've ever worked in has made staff stay. You can choose to stay for a while for ot, but if you're working 12s you can only stay for 4 hours anyway...
We've been short of urinals and had cutlery removed in the last year or so (this is in Canada). We were told it was because of the stupid lean process though. The service aid had a bunch of urinals...
I did with no harm. Since there is only one employer here, I didn't need to say who it was. They are listed as my employer, which I've tried to make private but it keeps showing up. That just means...
My understanding of HSPs is that they process sensory input much more intensely and thoroughly, thus less input is needed and also tolerated. The downside of that is that the threshold for sensory...
If they do, they'll have to do away with shift work and other stressors, since these contribute to obesity. ... That said, if a facility wanted to help improve employee health, there are a lot...
