    livingonadream posted a topic in Occupational Health

    I am looking for input and your experience on how you report to particularly if you work in a factory/company setting. Are you part of safety, human resources, corporate? Is your superior someone that...

  2. Who do you report to?

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational Health

    Thanks for the responses. Who I report to has changed recently. It was more because I could not get any direction from my former boss unless he was randomly trying to micro-manage me. While health and...

  4. What companies policies do you have for work comp?

    livingonadream posted a topic in Occupational Health

    I recently started at a company and I am perplexed by the stuff employees get away with. I'm sure there is similar stuff everywhere but it's out of control where I work. There are little to no...

  5. What companies policies do you have for work comp?

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational Health

    For clarification: It's not necessarily related to work compensation insurance itself not state/federal laws, nor OSHS. I am looking for company policy examples. For example, right now we have a...

  11. Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree! I also was dealing with the idea of "anticipated overtime during busy season" and wasn't comfortable with it at the original salary they proposed. I talked with several people through 4...

  12. Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

    livingonadream replied to livingonadream's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  14. Any advice on IV insertion skills?

    livingonadream replied to Emma_H's topic in General Nursing

    What is happening when you are starting IVs? I was a phlebotomist prior to nursing and good at IV starts. The problem I see a lot is that some nurses can't feel the veins, they expect to see

  17. New grad orient possibly going to get fired...Plz help!

    livingonadream replied to gr9153's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Do your preceptors ever do "what if scenarios" with you or "what would you do"? Get examples of 2 patients, then how they are doing, their problems. And maybe some critical things you need to see......

  18. Do I need to find a new job?

    livingonadream posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    After working at my new job for over 6 months, today seemed to be the first day where I said to myself : "What the hell am I doing here, I need to start looking for a new job" First off, my background...

  19. Question about Renown

    livingonadream replied to HappyGirl2011's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I worked at Renown for 3 years and I don't believe they hire new grads into the ER. However, they hire new grads into all other areas really including ICUs. They are known to be a suction device for...

    livingonadream replied to BeckiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I interviewed with an Aurora Grafton and they apparently love to play games. Kind of screwy, no... pathetic. I turned down their offer. Maybe Milwaukee Aurora's will be better but they all...

  24. Renown Hospital New Grad Question

    livingonadream replied to bbyjaden's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Renown is starting to be uninterested in people that are from California and come to Reno for work... Why? Because they pay a lot of money to train them, invest in them and then, not even 6 months...

  25. Any advice on how to get a critical care spot as a new grad?

    livingonadream replied to b4may14's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It helps to have your foot in the door of the facility first of all, as a CCT, CNA, whatever. Be opening to relocation. Express your desire to learn. Get critical care areas in
