  1. Too late for me?

    Marisette replied to tightwadRN's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to look at the colleges near your home for a refresher course. This may help to get you back to the

  2. I Made an Absolute 'No-No" Mistake :(

    Marisette replied to frustratedRN16's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad you had to fight for orders. Perhaps the reason you gave the benadryl? I can't justify your actions, but I question why some providers don't get admonition on their records for failing to...

  3. Can my doc videotape staff and our patients?

    Marisette replied to Redley's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in a small clinic where my employer set up cameras in a non patient area to track employees. I worked part time and chose not to work under such scrutiny after a few months. I would...

  4. Did you take a pay-cut to be a nurse? Do you regret it?

    Marisette replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in General Nursing

    I worked retail, customer service prior to my nursing career. I have taken pay cuts to move from one employer to another or one specialty to another and have learned that less $$$ does not equal less...

  5. Nursing jobs where you don't pass Narcs

    Marisette replied to kristopher.lightfoot's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely Dialysis. Blood donation centers are another possibility. I worked with an RN in the intermediate newborn nursery who was under rehabilitation for diverting. There was a meeting before she...

  6. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    Marisette replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in the midwest and there are numerous schools for LPN's and RN's in my neck of the woods. I think you can remain or obtain employment with an LPN or RN education. It may limit mobility because...

  7. Accused of med diversion, no proof

    Marisette replied to sonotguilty's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't speak specifically to your situation or give advice. However, I had a RN friend who worked ICU and was accused of diverting numerous years ago. She was an excellent nurse, was accused by a...

  8. Leaving nursing. Has anyone else done it? How?

    Marisette replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I know there are nurses that find employment in insurance and are able to leave. But these jobs don't come about easily. I can't imagine doing anything other than nursing with a nursing education. I...

  9. Accepted dialysis clinic position, now having second thoughts - advice please?

    Marisette replied to Lucky724's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Usually, Hemodialysis in the chronic setting has stable hours that don't vary much. However, if they told you all this, believe them. Apparently, this is what happens in this

  10. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I've been a nurse most of my life it seems, 28 years so I can't compare it to other careers. Would you say new employee training in your other jobs and careers was longer? Perhaps, it's...

  11. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    oh

  12. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, most definitely being treated like I'm stupid is the worst part. I have worked with two different EMR previously, so I don't think I'm that dumb. However, I'm definitely naive to a degree,...

  13. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    Most definitely. A confident employee is more likely to stay. I dread going in to work and I can't wait to dump them. Even If I become the most efficient triage RN in the nation, I don't think I will...

  14. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    So true. I don't feel like this company wants to invest in their employees. Perhaps, this explains the overall morale in the place and what I can clearly see is high turnover now. I'm very angry at...

  15. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    I'm impressed at your ability to learn so quickly. Perhaps my new employer's orientation is within the norm. However, you were fortunate to have ED experience I'm coming from a dialysis background...

  16. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    A real awakening of nursing in 2016. I was licensed in 1988 and it seemed a six week training was the norm back

  17. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    wow, what a surprise to me. I guess i had been employed in the same company for so long that I did not realize what the new world is like. Gets tougher every

  18. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    Thank You for the encouragement and the tips. The EMR in use is one used for non-profit clinics and it is archaic. This is a company of about 13 family practice clinics, mostly low income and...

  19. How long was your new employee training?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could go back, but there are no nearby openings in my area. I also did home dialysis and I had problems with the commute and covering multiple clinics so I don't think they will take me back....

  20. Is working pre-op in ambulatory surg really all that bad?

    Marisette replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    Go ahead and apply, but do ask about training and make your needs and expectations clear to your future employer. I recently left my old employer for a job I thought I wanted to do with great hours...

  21. No clue what to do! New job, pregnant, etc.

    Marisette replied to JulyRN80's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on what you see and want for your future. I find there is a lot of negativity out there. You can't fall into it with the crowd. Think independently and ignore it. IF you want a career...

  22. New Nurse Dilemma

    Marisette replied to Goldentreasure's topic in General Nursing

    $27/ hour and no benefits is not a good offer. You should get benefits for full time work. The $27/ hour does not sound unusual for this area. I don't understand the 20%. Is this for a staffing...

  23. Leaving nursing. Has anyone else done it? How?

    Marisette replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck. I envy you. I cannot live on walmart wages, but if I could, I

  24. Old Nurse, New Employee

    Marisette posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I finally left my previous nursing employer. I spent 27 years working there as an RN, and my employer did not even flinch when I resigned. I left my pager and the long commutes to patient's home...

  25. Can nursing be for me?

    Marisette replied to djh8kperez's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sorry you feel like giving up. If I was young, and could afford it, I would definitely pursue other careers. I don't think it takes that long to figure it out. I knew when I was young, that I had...
