  1. Coping w/th working outside a desired specialty

    Marisette replied to destirichardson's topic in General Nursing

    Dream jobs don't always turn out to be dream jobs. Working in a specialty may limit you to that specialty for a long time, unless it's a specialty like working in the ICU. Medical Surgical Nursing...

  2. Dialysis

    Marisette replied to ConfuseRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the norm in dialysis. This employer is taking advantage of you. Go with your gut feeling on this

  3. UHC work from home

    Marisette replied to michiganRN5's topic in Case Management

    UHC, United Health Care ? I've heard the same negative comments. All jobs have advantages and disadvantages. I think most people who are negatively inclined to speak of an employer are inclined to...

  4. How much of a pay cut is too much? Personal opinion

    Marisette replied to raecudzy1's topic in General Nursing

    So true. I accepted a pay cut for what I believed to be a less stressful job, and it turned out not to be the case for me. The grass is not always greener, just because you take the pay cut. I don't...

  5. Nurse Reviewer Associate-Anthem

    Marisette posted a topic in Case Management

    I noticed a company with frequent hiring for nurse reviewer or nurse reviewer associate. I'm thinking about sending a resume, however, I'm fearful the frequent availability of the position means there...

  6. NEW nurse, too soon to leave my first job?

    Marisette replied to NewNurse.2016's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want a career in clinic nursing? What are your long term goals? I think you will have more opportunities open to you with the hospital experience. Most nursing employment feels beyond...

  7. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    Marisette replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    So true. My employers have never felt a nursing shortage, but my RN coworkers and I have. Mandatory overtime, limited vacation and time off coverage have been the norm with my employers. I predict a...

  8. Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

    Marisette replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I left a job after working for a company for 27 years for multiple reasons, but one of the reasons was that I felt I was being bullied. I was asked to go from my primary work location to another,...

  9. new grad RN with 2 job offers, what would you do??

    Marisette replied to zumbaRN4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree with the others. You can't live on a promise that may not realize. Go for the job offer you have now. Wuzzie made an excellent point about saving and living within your means. The sooner you get...

  10. Ex Employers giving bad references

    Marisette replied to Jen4nursing's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to google a reference check company and have them check your references. If the company or HR is not stating that you are a no hire, you may give the name of a manager that was familiar...

  11. Medication transcribed then immediately d/c'd now boss write up transcription error

    Marisette replied to sb1959's topic in General Nursing

    They can do whatever they want. Employers make the rules, unless there is something that specifically states you did not make the error per policy or procedure or you have a union representative who...

  12. Hard Truth of Nursing

    Marisette replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see a fellow nurse with so much integrity. Thank You for stating the facts as you see them and taking a position. The grass is not greener in some of the nursing supervisory positions. The...

  13. Am I too old to change career?

    Marisette replied to mmaku2020's topic in General Nursing

    Your not too old to study nursing. I have worked with new graduates older than you. However, I'm not sure what draws you to nursing. If it's work stability or better income, you need to look at the...

  14. i want to quit after just one shift

    Marisette replied to KathyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Even an experienced nurse should be oriented to a new EMR, policies & procedures, and obviously where the bathrooom is. An expectation of 2-4 week orientation is not unreasonable, in my opinion....

  15. Recycled topics (vent)

    Marisette replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit that once or twice I've looked at a topic that does not appear to interest me, and suddenly I find myself drawn in. Some twist on the subject, or some similarity to me years ago,...

  16. New Hire Help...

    Marisette replied to Sweetlillove's topic in General Nursing

    WOW !!! I've never heard of volunteering to train. It seems to me the reason coworkers are asking you if you are a working there long term, is because the majority of people who were employed for that...

  17. Would You Do This?

    Marisette replied to westieluv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm so happy for you. It sounds like a move for the right

  18. Would You Do This?

    Marisette replied to westieluv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi. Your job is challenging. It sounds typical for a chronic care hemodialysis unit. I worked chronic hemodialysis for seven years, but worked dialysis total 27 years, inpatient, outpatient, home...

  19. Work place burn out

    Marisette replied to thebdon's topic in General Nursing

    All of the above, but if I must pick a main reason, the high expectations/demands that are unmanageable. The promise of excellent patient care with poor staffing or resources to deliver. Nurses don't...

  20. Family Medicine/Private practice nursing

    Marisette replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    I work family practice for a non-profit company partially funded by government grants. The family practice is located in the hospital, but is not owned or part of the hospital. Salaries are much...

  21. Hmm... Behavioral Health or Triage Nursing?

    Marisette replied to SlightlyHumerus's topic in General Nursing

    Only you know what's best for you. I do triage nursing and I can totally identify with what your are saying, so I vote for the longer communte and job satisfaction. Good luck with your

  22. I'm a new nurse and I feel like quitting :'(

    Marisette replied to NurseGee2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry your going through this. Don't give up. It's not possible to learn everything during orientation, even with an excellent preceptor. Your obviosly capable of doing this. You completed nursing...

  23. I need to vent! Frustrated ADN

    Marisette replied to amari's topic in General Nursing

    "I've been a nurse for 10 years. I was an LPN for most of that time, and I graduated from an ADN program in December 2015. I live in Seattle and work in a plasma center, which is only a good job if...

  24. telehealth

    Marisette replied to relaxhummingbird's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what telehealth is exactly. I work triage in a large public health clinic, rare hands on patient care, maybe once per month if that. Notice, I said, HANDS ON, because there is almost always...

  25. Burn out...

    Marisette replied to ms.shellie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I feel your pain. Perhaps, a change of employment would make a difference for you. I tried that, and I did not find it to be helpful. You have to really think and figure out the cause of your...
