  1. Nurse Fired by HCA After 20yrs - Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Filed

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    @twindaddy75, you are referring to "at will employment," not right to work. I hope you survived the challenge to your license! Even in at will employment states, if the employer has a handbook that...

  2. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Horseshoe replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Not to the hiring managers who are looking at an application that reveals 7 different jobs in less than 9

  3. Nurse Fired by HCA After 20yrs - Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Filed

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you mean "how is that NOT

  4. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Horseshoe replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Did you inform your supervisor, or did you just not show up the next day? If I were involved with hiring, I would pass on your application in a heartbeat. This much job hopping would be a huge red...

  5. Can level 1 trauma IMCU/SICU Step-down experience get you into CRNA school?

    Horseshoe replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is a CRNA forum here at allnurses. You might get better feedback if you post your question

  6. Can level 1 trauma IMCU/SICU Step-down experience get you into CRNA school?

    Horseshoe replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I floated between all of the ICUs and stepdown, which at my hospital was under the critical care umbrella. My stepdown took almost everything the other ICUs took with the exception of intubated...

  7. Can I lose my license over this?

    Horseshoe replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    Your thread title asks if you can lose your license for your conversation, but your actual post asks if you can be fired. Secondly, exactly what did you say that was offensive???? You aren't losing...

  8. Nursing type that doesn't involve giving injections and shots

    Horseshoe replied to CheesePimiento's topic in General Nursing

    Seek help. This is a problem that is actually interfering with your life. This phobia can be treated successfully, then you can look for a job without having to add "but I can't..." or "I won't..."...

  9. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    Horseshoe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Not cowardice, just sound business

  10. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    Horseshoe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    One could also say that employers don't have to employ people who make critical and controversial statements on their corporate accounts, which in some way, shape, or form, attaches those sentiments...

  11. Leaving the OR

    Horseshoe replied to Tpax's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at that little nugget.

  12. Employment drug screening

    Horseshoe replied to VampireBaby's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital didn't do random drug screens. But one day I hurt my back while bending over a patient's bed drawing blood (poor body mechanics on my part). I could barely walk to the nurse's station. My...

  13. Employment drug screening

    Horseshoe replied to VampireBaby's topic in General Nursing

    Even in places without random drug screens, most places will do drug tests if you ever have a patient who is injured while under your watch, if YOU are injured on the job, if there is a discrepancy in...

  14. Positive pre-employment drug screen! What will happen?

    Horseshoe replied to Pmb's topic in General Nursing

    If you accidentally took your D's adderall, you can probably say goodbye to this job. Understandable from their perspective-people who purposely abuse adderall are also going to say this is a...

  15. School making me repeat a course. Help

    Horseshoe replied to mmilbrunRN85's topic in General Students

    I have no words. Good grief. Glad to see the mods edited the original

  16. Next Day Off

    Horseshoe replied to Imustbedreaming's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to this part of your post. At work, I'd work hard and feel just fine. I'd get in my car to go home, and 20-30 minutes later when I arrived, I felt like I was 100 years old as I got out of...

  17. Lost Nurse in the OR

    Horseshoe replied to KNest18's topic in General Nursing

    You have had multiple jobs and didn't like any of them. Maybe you just don't like working? Or like many people, you think the job should be fun (most jobs are not fun, that's why it's called "work")?...

  18. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    @subee, MSN, CRNA, I noticed you did this in another thread. You keep posting within the quoted material you are wanting to address. You need to post your response after the quoted material, which...

  19. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    People, when you post your response within the quoted post, it's impossible to discern where your comments begin. You have to post outside of the quoted

  20. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    Horseshoe replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, you sound like you were a real piece of work when you first started. Glad you evolved into a better version of yourself and I commend you on your personal insight and eventual willingness...

  21. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Horseshoe replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    The OP was not an employee. Dollars to donuts it is in the student handbook that all students must follow the directions of supervising nurses, doctors, and administrators or risk being evicted from...

  22. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Horseshoe replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    That's a good point. Your second paragraph is also true and is one I made way back as well. The moment a couple brings a child into the world is a very intimate, precious experience that should be...

  23. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Horseshoe replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    Even surgeons who like to talk or play music during surgery will have moments when they ask for quiet. I'm often asked to pause the music when a surgeon is in a tricky spot and needs to concentrate....

  24. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Horseshoe replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    The talk of a lawsuit is nonsense. There is most certainly language in the student handbook to the effect of "while in clinical facilities, students will follow the directives of facility staff at all...

  25. Depressed anti social low self esteem. What to do?

    Horseshoe replied to epinephrine1mg's topic in General Nursing

    FYI, being an introvert is the not the same thing as being shy. I am not shy at all-I can easily make small talk, do a public presentation, ace an interview, go to a party where I don't know anyone...
