  1. Do you miss the hands-on care?

    kcmylorn replied to LovingNurse's topic in Telephone Triage

    I love the telephone triage. Do I miss the hands on? NO!!! I work a temp fill in postion - soon to be coming to an end, person is returning in 2 weeks. I was a bedside acute care RN for 30 yrs- I have...

  2. anyone work in a primary care clinic before?

    kcmylorn replied to rainbowbright2's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot the mental health calls- the primary clinc where all the care centers around. It's the spring board for all other referrals out to specialties. A diabetic suddenly feeling depressed- the...

  3. anyone work in a primary care clinic before?

    kcmylorn replied to rainbowbright2's topic in General Nursing

    Outpatient primary care clinics are no place for a 2y inexperienced nurse. I have worked acute care for 27 years- med/surg/oncology, same day surgery, endoscopy icu/telemetry- agency-per deim and...

  4. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

    kcmylorn replied to Giga's topic in General Nursing

    I think the orginal poster has and continued to give a shinning example of the age discrimination that has infected our nursing profession. Back in my day- we had older nurses but we certainly...

  5. Are you being "hounded" to pay back student loans-

    kcmylorn replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you don't think that the student loan lenders just turn their heads when some one doen't pay thier loans back. Telling people that would be spam. I think it's high time the loan officers start...

  6. CSU Stanislaus Nursing applicants for Fall 2011?

    kcmylorn replied to laura912's topic in California Nursing

    Why are you wasting your money on Nursing as a major? Why would anyone want to do that to themselves.? 6 months after graduation the tuition bills roll in and no job to pay them with, then you...

  8. Orienting an experienced RN

    kcmylorn replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feel I'm all that boiling over to be told by a 28 yrold to "simmer down". If the older nurse discussed in the original post who is the new orientee only shrugs yes or no to a preceptor of...

  9. Is there any real difference between military and non-military?

    kcmylorn replied to Raven713's topic in Government, Military

    I'm a civillain RN working in a MTF- what a wonderful change, as all above have pointed out. The respect, the chain of command. and a nurse manager who actually listens and jumps out of her seat to...

  10. GS pay scale for government nursing jobs

    kcmylorn replied to armyrn26's topic in Government, Military

    Even my civillian nursing supervisor couldn't believe that is all their paying me with my experience- apparently, experience is revered in the military nursing world another nice thing from the...

  12. Sex in a LTC...is this ok?

    kcmylorn replied to AKAnurse4's topic in General Nursing

    I would check the facility's policy. Sounds strange,but---- I worked in one LTC (large company privately owned), where it was ok if AAOX3 but in another (a county government run) where it was not...

  13. Orienting an experienced RN

    kcmylorn replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    I feel I must butt in here, to the new RN's orienting experienced RN's. Argo- in your case,I'm trying to get the senerio correct. Are you infact with only 3 yrs experience and in a periop arena and...

  14. Is nursing shortage a myth?

    kcmylorn replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    There is no shortage of nurses, nor is there going to be with the numbers of new grads these schools are puting out twice a years. There are too many nurses that can't get jobs- new grads and us old...

  15. Healthcare Termination Process: You're Fired!

    kcmylorn replied to JoytoWorld's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we nurse should get the word out to the legal and governing communities- that the healthcare systems are not playing fair, honest and ethical in our employment realm or with any one they deal...

  16. What is your work area like?

    kcmylorn replied to petty,s.t.'s topic in Telephone Triage

    I work for the federal gov'mt also. Part of my job is telephone triage nursing. I love my job. I don't know which part I love the most- working for the federal gov or the telephone triage. I had...

  17. Just started with agency now banned from regular hire

    kcmylorn replied to newtress's topic in Agency Nurses

    The agency I worked for a few years back in 2004-2006, there was a paper (a single piece of paper) "non compete" I think it was called, that restricted/prohibited the nurse from working for a...

  18. how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    kcmylorn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I like to see someone start going after the CEO's and Nursing Exects of these healthcare systems who have not cut any of their over inflated salaries but put nurses out of work in the first place. The...

  19. side job/second job?

    kcmylorn replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    Another twist and tip. If the hospital job calls you and asks you to come in and gets your answering machine, then has the nerve to ask you in front of a everyone at a staff meeting why you couldn't...

  20. side job/second job?

    kcmylorn replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't let the nursing job find out about the second job. I found out the hard way-the floor Nursing job( was a per deim job) took for granted I was at their beck and call 24/7. They would call me...

  21. Would you ever be a scab?

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

    I can understand both sides- I do believe we nurses have to stand up to these greedy administrations but I can also understand that nurses need to keep roofs over their kids' heads, heat in their...

  22. Corporate Healthcare

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

    I'm glad someone finally put a name to this maddness we have been forced to be subjected to in our nursing careers. Healthcare needs to have the commercialism removed and get back to what the indusrty...

  23. Former co-worker reported to BON

    kcmylorn replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    I am just astonished at how nursing denies, removes, takes away- it's nurses rights to their own human emotion and civil rights. I think it's high time nurses start sueing their managers and...

  24. ER. A Clinic?

    kcmylorn replied to JSlice.'s topic in Emergency

    I am personally happy about and anxiously await the new healthcare reform. I would like to see the federal government take over the hospitals in this country- I feel it would take the COMMERCIALISM...

  25. Former co-worker reported to BON

    kcmylorn replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    I too have to wonder if this letter from the BON is genuine. I didn't think that the BON was there to dicipline for potty mouth, asking these insubordinate CNA's to do their job, or butt shaking. I...
