I accepted a position at memorial hermann and they are conducting a background check. My question is, if you have bad credit will they not hire me as a nurse.

Uugghh!!!! I did not know speeding tickets are class c misdemeanors in Texas. I had to resubmit application with correction to question asking if I had a misdemeanor. I already had interview but they are doing background check now. I was told at firs...

I am currently looking for employment in West Texas. I'm moving back to Colorado City, Texas. What are my options regarding nursing jobs. There is a small hospital in Synder and in Colorado City, but they are not hiring. I have seen home health oppor...

I work at a hospital where you enter all medication orders in the computer. After you enter the order in the computer, you have to verify the medication before it will appear on the emar. A nurse entered an order but failed to verify the medication. ...

I have a dilemma. I am 13 weeks pregnant and am currently working full time. I need to move back home to be with my family. I found out that pregnancy is not considered a pre existing condition due to hipaa laws. I'm worried that no one will hire me ...

I took the same test for a hospital. Clinically, I did great on the test. However, I failed the personality exam. There was no right or wrong answer. I did not get to interview because I failed the personality part of the exam. The recruiter was upse...

I need some guidance on how to handle something. When we have patients bring their home medications, we enter them in the computer. A patien brought their medication bottles in and I entered them in the computer. If we don't have the medications, the...

My manager told me I did not need to contact an attorney and I do not have malpractice insurance.

I am working at a small rural hospital as a charge nurse on a med surg floor. In fact, the hospital only has med surg and an ER. It is very different. There is no 24 hour pharmacy, no RT, and no doctor (Nurse Practitioner or PA admits the patients). ...

That's correct. The nurse has nothing to check the order against. So our manager wrote her up for not verifying a med that the other shift took an order for. She told her she should have verified it. We have no doctors in our hospital at night, just ...

Yes, the nurse just enters the order from a verbal or telephone order. Nothing is written down.

I work at a small rural hospital. It is a critical care access hospital. We have 22 beds, ER, and an SCU. The hospital is not JCAHO accredited; it is run by the state. We do not follow core measures. I use to work in a large hospital which had magnet...

I'm going to a chiropractor tomorrow. I have a pinched nerve. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of neck manipulations. Do I have a choice to refuse a neck manipulation? Or would it be completely useless to go if I don't have one? I am the kind of ...

If it was not for Allnurses, I would lose my mind. It's funny how I will never see or know any of you, but yet I feel this is the only place of comfort I can come to. I'm having horrible anxiety today. It just comes from out of the blue. I try to clo...

I have to admit, I often thought of patients with back pain as being overdramatic, but now that I have experienced it, I wish I could take care of those people again and show more compassion. I have a pinched nerve in my neck that is causing horrible...

I am enrolled in a RN-BSN program, but I have failed some courses due to personal problems. Should I enroll in another RN-BSN program and if so, does the bad transcript follow me? Also, my goal is to become an FNP. How will the bad transcript affect ...

I was thinking the same thing. I even go to the pharmacy at mix meds like antibiotics, etc.. I also get to play respiratory tech. The only thing that concerns me is that I will not be able to work in ICU again because I am afraid I won't be hired bec...

I recently moved and accepted a position at a small rural hospital as a charge nurse. I was hired to replace a charge nurse that was leaving. Now, the charge nurse has decided she might stay. I have been told this by her and staff nurses. And now I m...

No I didn't sign a job contract but I did sign a form which had my rate of pay, including the charge nurse pay which is only $1 more per hour. My concern is that I won't have a job now because I do not have a contract to work.

I am starting a new job and I have to wait 90 days for health insurance coverage. The hospital pays for the employee's coverage 100%, but for my child, I was informed that I have to pay and it is pricey and that I might do better at finding a private...

How far would you drive to work? I am planning on moving to a small rural area which is an hour away from bigger cities. Hopefully, I can get hired on at the rural hospital in the town, but if I am not able to, then I will have to drive 74 miles in e...

I had to take a pre-assessment for a particular facility. I aced the clinical exams, but did not do well on the personality exams. So they declined to have me interview. I can't believe that they would not even consider interviewing me when I did we...

Thank you. Where I work now, it takes me an hour to drive to work and it's only 25 miles away, but the traffic on the freeway is horrible, even at night. Where I am looking to relocate, I wouldn't be driving on a busy freeway. My boyfriend doesn't wa...

Thank you pumpkinseed..... I needed that laugh. And thank you Allnurses. You never fail. Free therapy with humor:)

Well, the issue is, I met someone in West Texas and he won't move so I have to and wherever I work is going to be a cut in pay. All the hospitals pay $20 an hour for ICU.
