  1. Happy Holidays to Sutter Hospital

    kcmylorn replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Pretty soon, these facilities will have nurses working for minimum wage and wanting bedside doctorates. I am shocked at California's wages. They have always been the highest in the country. We needed...

  2. Happy Holidays to Sutter Hospital

    kcmylorn replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    May the CEO or CEO's choke on their Christmas

  3. I got fired today...

    kcmylorn replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ProfRN4- in the simulation labs, is it not the perfect time to be 'intensely' working on and right on top of these students if need be, to molding these critical thinking skills. Should that not be...

  4. I got fired today...

    kcmylorn replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This seems like a good reseach project. Cost of termination and replacement of a nurse VS remediation of a nurse. Where's "Commuter" from Cowtown, she likes to do research projects. I think the...

  5. I got fired today...

    kcmylorn replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here's another novel though- Wouldn't it have been more logical and more ECOMONICAL to get the education depart on this and have them spend time with this new nurse- Oh NO, We have to give the...

  6. I got fired today...

    kcmylorn replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are correct. This is a system's error/ FAILURE, which one single nurse paid dearly for. This is a Nursing Informatics problem. The Informatics nurse(MSN) needs to either redesign the electronic...

    kcmylorn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

  8. I got fired today...

    kcmylorn replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ProfRN4- I respectfully disagree with you. The title of this thread is "I got fired from my first RN job today". The poster stated in their second post, they asked their preceptor if it was alright to...

  9. I got fired today...

    kcmylorn replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree but I also think some of the fault lies with the preceptor who was not paying attention when the original poster asked if they should give the solumedrol with the med change/new orders. I...

  10. Finishing Leadership and Managemet Degree next Spring..... Then what?

    kcmylorn replied to trinigrl78's topic in Nurse Management

    Just for the record: Some old seasoned nurses stay at the bedside because they truly love it, ot because they have no ambition. The statement I always heard about less experienced nurses who quickly...

  11. Do you work at Hilton?

    kcmylorn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    "[bTW, there are a lot of holier than thou types on the Facebook link to this post. We are all horrible nurses because we resent having to bend to patients' personal preferences and whims instead of...

  12. Do you work at Hilton?

    kcmylorn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    These healthcare system can amusement park and department store and spa the hospital all they want- the CMS is no dummy. They know what patients are supposed to receive in the line of healthcare and...

  13. Do you work at Hilton?

    kcmylorn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    We nurses aren't there for pants peeing. The Chief Financial Administrator, the Marketing Director, the Business Office and the CEO just hasn't got around to telling us yet who is. Their waiting until...

  14. Do you work at Hilton?

    kcmylorn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I think all these posts should be sent to the CMS, the Dept of Human services and Pres Obama. Let them know this is where our healthcare is at. It's not healing and caring for the sick, the diseases...

  15. Do you work at Hilton?

    kcmylorn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    We have transitioned into the 'Nursing Business' It's no longer the 'Nursing Profession'. I look at it ths way: I don't think we should be angry at the patients about the patient satisfaction...

  16. Quitting nursing to be a sahm?

    kcmylorn replied to mamahood85's topic in Nursing Career

    It's a shame. I can remember feeling the same way at that point in my career. I was working full time nights as a new nurse( going back 30 years) I became pregnant with our first and quit and at the...

    kcmylorn replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    These are definated causes for alarm and concern. I sincerely hope that some with more power and in a position to be able to, begins to look into them and do something about it. This is totally...

  21. Cost Cutting/Budgeting --- the patients suffer the most

    kcmylorn replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How in the god's name does anyone justify this? A CEO recieves a $550,000 bonus in one year while cutting staff and staff's paultry benefits and salary( paulty, compared to a $550,000 bonus not salary...

  22. Help I've been a nurse for 10 years

    kcmylorn replied to HappyRN2323's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Why not look into outpatient clinics, or doctors offices, turn some of that personal infertiity experience into a positive- check out the infertilty clinics coaching other couples, or check out WIC...

  23. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    kcmylorn replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I too am out of a job. I have survived on temp positions for the past 4.5 years. It is really draining, mentally and financially. My latest was an nursing agency, Favorite Healthcare who told me that...

  25. New to Agency Nursing- and worried

    kcmylorn replied to Dalla's topic in Agency Nurses

    Stay clear away from Favorite Healthcare staffing. They will not deal with you in an honest and above board manner. They will not give you any assigments if you do not fit in the their "high school...
