The reading for this class does not address the pre-test At ALL!!! I HATE this class as well. This is an excellent example of the disaster that occures when you have people who write questions and don't base them on your cariculum material.

I need help please. Just not sure what to do now. Getting right to the particulars. I was working in a So Cal Hospital in a Psychiatric unit. I was assigned a set schedule. 1) I was suddenly assigned to work 8 days straight Wed - Wed (8 hour shifts...

In fact they did not! They where the first to speak up and even began training me to cover for days when they where the charge nurse. I received the highest complement any NYSE can pay another I was told "If I where a patient, you would be the nurse ...

Obviously I did't realize that being a good nurse and trying to improve a bad situation would cost me my job! From what it sounds like, this conduct and behavior is common practice for administration. Lesson learned.... You may now continue with the ...

Perhaps I should have allowed mistreatment and unsafe care to continue for a bit longer before trying to prevent another assault? It's not as though I expressed concerns they hadn't heard in fact, The RN's and LVN's attempted to gather the union reps...

Thank you

"The reference was intended to point out that Hospitals seem to place more importance on reimbursement concerns than patient care. I did mention Medicare and Medical as well."

No, because Wednesday - Saturday is one week and Sunday- Wednesday is a second week it's not technically considered overtime. Highly manipulative and Unsafe but as its not over 40 hrs for each week, they don't have to pay overtime.

Out of everything, that's what you got out of that?

Thank you colleenrn2b. I did. I'm not quite sure were you got that I'm blaming the president though? The reference was intended to point out that Hospitals seem to place more importance on reimbursement concerns than patient care. I did mention Medi...

Thank you for your input. Yes I was told it was full time and I was given a set schedule. I was told that if the set schedule needed to be changed that I would be notified in advance. Working a person 8 days straight wed-wed is just a way for adminis...

Not to mention the personal liability I expose myself to when doing so.

While I understand that your advise is to keep my mouth shut frankly, several patients and staff have been attacked, including myself. I would rather uphold my standards of nursing care than run the risk of having my license revoked because of an unf...

There are no jobs. Period. It costs thousands of dollars to train a new grad. Hospitals are not willing to invest in new people, let alone new grads. It sucks. It's going to bite the health care system in the posterior later on but, there you have it...

This is for Experienced Nurses and New Grads alike. I want to know how many of us out there are actually unemployed. Participation is appreciate:thankya: :w00t:

That's one reason why I'm doing this. New and Experienced, young and well seasoned Nurses are all having the same problem. I've seen older nurses complain that's it's Agisim and it's cheaper to hire new grads. I've seen new grads companies that it's ...

I received the call just tonight! The offer letter will be in Monday or Tuesday!:w00t::cheers:

Moved

I'm in the same boat. i even sent a Thank You e-mail and received a response back "My Pleasure" However, I have't received the call yet. How about you? Have you gotten the official word yet?

There are people from 2008 whom never found a job. In fact, if you'r posting here then i'm sure you've noticed several posts from new grads over the years expressing their frustration. There are just NO jobs to be had in So Cal. There is NO nursing s...

I wonder when employers will be willing to Hire New grades if not, in about 10 years we will have an influx of New nurses with no experience and many errors from the lack of experience. But heck, for right now they are jumping through flamed hoops an...

I remember a time when AllNurses.com used to be full of posts from Employed Nurses whom where asking questions related to daily on the job duties. Now it would seem that the only posts I ever see are for Nurses looking for employment or Students look...

I know New grad RN'S in southern CA that aren't making 35/hr right now and thats talking about 3 different hospitals in So Cal. There aren't that many RN jobs out there right now and it would seem that employers are taking advantage of this and Low B...

I am trying to turn a negative into something a little more productive. What are you looking for in a New Grad RN? What are some of the things that a New Grad can do to make themselves stand out in the crowd? What qualities are you looking for on th...

How do I get information on these programs? Where do I call?
