1. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

   RRRNNN replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

   When a person is in need of care, the care we provide and the way we treat them FAR outweighs our appearance. People would rather receive good care from an "ugly" person than bad care from Ms

2. What's utilization management like?

   RRRNNN replied to RRRNNN's topic in General Nursing

   So it sounds like there is a lot to learn and probably a lot of stress while at work, but there is possibility of work life balance? Right now I never know when I will have to go into work. I went...

3. What's utilization management like?

   RRRNNN replied to RRRNNN's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for your response. It's for a payer. I'm wondering how the stress level would compare to my LTC DON position. The same corporation has a utilization review nurse position open and, although...

4. What's utilization management like?

   RRRNNN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm currently DON in a LTC and can't take the stress and long hours any more. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing a great job. Just passed survey with flying colors. But in the past 3 weeks I've had 1...

   RRRNNN replied to 8daysaweek's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   If you ever find a nursing job where you don't have to deal with ******, snarky, petty, ridiculous bosses and coworkers, too much work, and abuse.....send me the address and I'll move there! I've...

6. HELP!!!! Resume NEW GRAD

   RRRNNN replied to Lilym27's topic in Nursing Career

   The applicant I would be most likely to hire would say something like "I have a car that works and a backup plan if it has trouble. I either don't have kids or if I do have kids I have a babysitter...

7. What happens if you are injured on your way to clinical due to weather?

   RRRNNN replied to invitemeplz's topic in General Students

   You seem to be having anxiety over the requirements of nursing school. Are you over the age of 18, or are you a minor? Is somebody forcing you to go to nursing school? Are you sure you want to make...

9. Housekeeping vs Nursing and poop Oh My

   RRRNNN replied to RRRNNN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

   And it's not as if there's a nationwide shortage of housekeepers! They keep driving off my staff. So then the CNAs will be working short because we're fresh out of CNAs, and the housekeepers,...

    Hi I'm considering getting out of being a LTC DON and working from home. My cousin works in an at-home QI position for Humana now and she loves it. Unfortunately, I live in a rather rural area and...

12. Housekeeping vs Nursing and poop Oh My

    RRRNNN replied to RRRNNN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Yes - I would think people would act like we're all on the same team, and work together to get the job done as efficiently as possible. Instead, it's a constant war between departments. I guess I won...

13. Housekeeping vs Nursing and poop Oh My

    RRRNNN posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    When I imagined all of the hardships that would be associated with DON, I thought they'd be over more important things than poop and "who's better, nursing or housekeeping." Good Lord. I've got...

14. being fired by patient's family member

    RRRNNN replied to GS ED RN's topic in Emergency

    I've been "fired" by patients and family members a few times in my 18 years of nursing. I'm working LTC now (after ER, ICU, then home health). The most recent time I got "fired" was when I was...

15. What's your "normal" day like?

    RRRNNN posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    So today I had to talk to a CNA about her attitude. I reheorificed the conversation before having it - made sure to emphasize her many positive attributes before asking her to please "reign in her...
