  1. Out of Work Nurse

    Art_Vandelay replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with health care in this country is not the ACA; it is Congressmen bickering, earning large paychecks and being content with gridlock for everyone else. Meanwhile, many Americans are...

  5. Anyone? Anyone?

    Thank you for the words of encouragement. I made a joke initially, but sometimes it truly is work to remain upbeat after 50 plus

  8. "Prescreen" questions

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in General Nursing

    After filling out an application online for certain hospitals, some have several "prescreen" questions at the end of the entire application process. To hiring managers or anyone aware of the process,...

  12. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    Art_Vandelay replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm glad someone posted this because I haven't been online in quite some time, but I was going to post something along those lines specifically about Grey's Anatomy. I have watched other medical...

  13. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I usually have a high tolerance for rudeness and inappropriate behavior, but yesterday I reached my limit. This patient is always verbally abusive toward staff, speaking with an acid tongue and tone....

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in General Nursing

    Even though I am a nurse, I am writing this from a patient perspective: 1) Yeah, I know you're busy, but really you can't respond to my email? Give me a break. If you don't have time for patients,...

  15. Have you ever witnessed this situation?

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

    What she expected the pharmacist to do was respect her privacy. Talking in a lower voice would have prevented the occurrence. I am appalled at the lack of sensitivity. If I were in that situation,...

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

    In some of discrimination cases, plantiffs were awarded LARGE amounts of back pay and compensation. Even companies like Verizon and Walmart have been charged(and lost). I read a case of a Walmart...

  17. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

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

    It's not crazy; maybe somewhat impractical from an employer's perspective, but not "crazy." And it is not "bad" for business...the patient will think no less of the nurse or company. It doesn't...

  18. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

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

    I would be curious if BlueDevil were sitting in the witness stand, would s/he hold up his "high standards" and tell the truth about the reason for firing her, or lie to salvage his professional...

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, since I am interviewing soon, I am curious...for managers surfing this site, if you are able to disclose, what things have interviewers said that have made you think, "Next, please." I've read...

  20. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

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

    Oh Gawd! I would have said, "and let's get that 'communist Muslim' out of the White House too" as I spit my tobacco on the floor.

  21. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

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

    Well, why don't you put me at the top of that interview list, BlueDevil? I'm sure I have everything you're looking for. lol! p.s. no personal offense

  22. Things interviewees have said...

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

    Sarcasm isn't appropriate for an interview unless you're interviewing to be a stand up comedian. How was a candidate too personal? Unless it's a personal anecdote about a patient that demonstrates...

  23. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

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

    Nevertheless, arguably BlueDevil's actions were vindictive. Maybe if I were in his predicament, I would have been ticked off too, but it sounded more like an inconvenience rather than an actual...

  25. LVNs say they are equal to RNs...how true is this? much more schooling...

    Art_Vandelay replied to jewelspassion's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The LPNs where I used to work were awesome, and when I was a new RN they could "walk circles around me" with getting task completed. They were knowledgable in their own
