  1. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have read more than a few threads on here and quite frankly I am a little appauled at the attitudes. No wonder women ask if they should hide the pregnancy! They're discriminated by female nursing...

  5. Nursing Is A Business: Get Used To It!

    Art_Vandelay replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe "Get used to it" is a mentality workers should have. This is the mentality that whoever is making these unstaff staffing ratio decisions wants you to have. Give up and suck it up is...

  7. Is this ok to do when applying for jobs?

    Art_Vandelay replied to Cynnie24's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Props to you for liking SNF/LTC. Personally, I haven't work in one that had decent staffing and I always felt like a med pusher and the environments were awful. You can go directly to the facilities...

  14. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    Art_Vandelay replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree that the OP has "misconceptions" about teaching hospitals. IMHO, the OP has a valid complaint. If I may, he/she was made to feel like an object and not a person. It's...

  15. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    Art_Vandelay replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you. I agree, the behavior is rude. I chose a teaching hospital for my first baby, because it is considered "the best". That being said, after a first year resident...

  16. Be careful what you divulge

    Art_Vandelay replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you change your name, if the user looks at your history, you old name is viewable in responses. There is nowhere to

  17. You want us to do what?!?

    Art_Vandelay replied to SilenceintheLibrary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd donate $20 (to fund the co-pay for her psych visit) because clearly any semblance of rational thought has escaped

  18. Am I asking too much?

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in General Nursing

    So...I had a recent need to utilize the county health clinic and the "nurse" called me back. She didn't introduce herself and wasn't wearing a badge. She asked me questions regarding history, gave...

  19. Moving from Compact to Non Compact State..HELP!

    Art_Vandelay replied to angiemorgan1990's topic in General Nursing

    Compact doesn't make that much difference. I never found it that useful since every time I moved even if the new state was "compact", I still had to apply for a new license. The compact mostly helps...

  20. A nursing home with no nurses.

    Art_Vandelay replied to Thechilldude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just watched it...1.6 billion in profit/year. This is disgusting. I wouldn't be so appalled if the worker conditions weren't so awful. The reference to skilled nursing makes skilled seem better....

  22. You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    Art_Vandelay replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    As far as nursing homes, I attribute the horrible staffing to the "for profit" nature of the company, not government reimbursements. With that being said, the hiring of MAs in lieu RNs is another...

  23. Unemployed for 18 months now.......

    Art_Vandelay replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    How did you get a job after you gave up? Did someone contact you that you had previously applied to? OP: For what it's worth, you're not alone. When will this economy turn

  24. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    Art_Vandelay replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, I find this post very belittling. For someone who has been looking for work and applied to countless jobs, I am supposed to "stop whining" and "go live in the woods"? It is...
