  1. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    Chin up replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    But darling, you forgot the ADA. Unless undue hardship, accomodation is required. Disabilities are protected. Bump morality, speaking purely law. I could argue gender, but need more info. The ADA is...

  2. A Nurses Responsibility: Report Possible Narcotic Diversion

    Chin up replied to clebius's topic in General Nursing

    Never act on hearsay. Never. You can cause a lot of undue hardship, and you yourself will lose credibility. Hearsay is never the truth, just bits and pieces of truth stuffed in a lie. Would you want...

  4. I don't Know what to do?????

    Chin up replied to mnrb_mdn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't end your life for a DX. Keep going on with your plans and dreams. Do not give in, you don't know where you will be in 5 years. Better to have your degree, than wishing you did. You are not your...

  5. Permanent replacement workers during strike

    Chin up replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    They are just what they are called, permanent and why you can collect unemployment. Your job has been taken, for the duration of the replacements contract. Some take the job for a number of weeks,...

  6. A Nurses Responsibility: Report Possible Narcotic Diversion

    Chin up replied to clebius's topic in General Nursing

    Brava! I love the way you put compassion on the addict. It is a disease, one protected by the ADA, by the way. Being so, we as nurses should want to do whatever we can, to help the person succeed....

    No asthmatics allowed, cant pass the lung function test. Preggers belong in the kitchen. Woman should be barefoot and pregnant anyway, all they are good for. Over 40, you are losing your grip, cant...

  8. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    Chin up replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Check the ADA. Why I asked her what institution. This is possible gender, age discrimination and absolutely violates the disability act. Nursing does not require any of these test. And even if these...

  10. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    Chin up replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Many are caught up on the lifting, but the vision, grip, running, hearing, lift squat, etc are equally disturbing. We have possible gender, disability and no freakin pregnant woman??? Are we back in...

  12. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    Chin up replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Call the state and the EEOC. This test may be illegal. Also. Using weights and pulleys, depending if you are lifting them by pulling down or raising up, can give widely different results. You did not...

  13. "That having been said..."

    Chin up replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    I remember the post and the poster. I respect that poster much, but don't take everything she says, as word. I use that phrase a lot and I am a LPN. Having said that, who

    Chin up replied to Lee238's topic in General Nursing

    I understand everything you are experiencing and written. I have been through all of this. Everything I said to you is from my personal experience. It may not be the norm, I am not a shrink, this is...

  17. Stupidly put myself in a difficult position (got 3 jobs)

    Chin up replied to Nuieve's topic in General Nursing

    Since you don't like the two new jobs, let them know as soon as possible. Don't feel sorry for them and keep them hanging, just say, it wasn't a good fit and the money is not what you were looking...

  18. Would you take a pay cut?

    Chin up replied to nicu4me's topic in General Nursing

    I once took a 4 dollar an hour pay cut. Changed from floor nursing to a specialty. Once I got a years experience, my pay went up and up. I now make a lot more money, than if I had stayed on the floor....

    Chin up replied to mountain_biker_88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As you said, new to LTC. You cant refuse her, or you will be refusing half the patients. You will learn how to deal with her and folks like her. Until then, always have someone with you, when you...

  21. How do you like being an LPN/LVN?

    Chin up replied to AngelNicole's topic in General Nursing

    I have been one for 26 years and loved it for 20 of those years. I have a degree in science from a prestigious school and got a hair across my butt, when RN schools, would not accept my sciences. So I...
