   Flu + Observation patients...go home please.

   PeekaPooh replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

   I think it's just the behavior/manner issues that many patients are coming in with. I don't know about your area, but the hospitals around here are all about magnet status and patients satisfaction surveys. So management tries to please patients as...

   Coronavirus mask shortage

   PeekaPooh replied to zillynurz's topic in COVID

   My unit is even worse. Not only they locked up the masks, so that patients cannot steal them. They are also not allowing us to wear masks in the hallways of the unit. A few of our staff are under the weather/sick themselves and were told to remove...

   PeekaPooh replied to Brittanytaylor04's topic in General Nursing

   Even so it shouldn't affect the pay rate per hour. It would only affect the gross wages and net pay, no?

   New nurse, how incompetent am I really?

   PeekaPooh replied to NewnightRN's topic in General Nursing

   Hmm what a weird residency program that you are in. Have you try talking to other nurses about your residency program to see if this is how it's supposed to be or what? But yea, do speak to your manager/supervisor and see what is up?

    Should I resign, or wait it out?

    PeekaPooh replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    hmm based on your story, it seems like you have a choice to make. Either quit this job, or quit your independent contractor job? Which one do you prefer? You can try and ask them if you can just resign instead of them firing you during the meeting...

    Starting job as an ER Tech soon + very nervous

    PeekaPooh replied to Jess Dunaway's topic in General Students

    Sometimes it's the feeling of unknown that causes anxiety. Right now, you don't know what to expect and how it will be like. Once you start the job and get used to the daily routine, the level of anxiety should go down. Perhaps, google search a bi...

    Classmates who cheat

    PeekaPooh replied to Maroon horse's topic in General Students

    I think you should do the right thing by telling the teacher what is going on, perhaps provide proof too if possible. Tell them to keep your identity hidden if you don't want them to know. Or find a way to tell someone on the school board about it....
