    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Looks vaguely familiar. You can be a completely loose cannon of an employee, no problem. But point out any issues with your workplace or your employers, you're the problem. Some of these people are...

    Feel like I’m the only nurse going to lose there job during the pandemic! stressed out!

    TriciaJ replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    Are you actually in New Zealand or elsewhere? It's hard for us to advise you further since we don't know what the applicable laws and current emergency measures are in your

    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    No matter how ludicrous, I will not have a problem believing any of it. I've seen ludicrous and nothing surprises me anymore. Anyway, glad you're basking in your newfound freedom. Seriously, you'll...

    Humble Nurses Do This

    TriciaJ replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Possibly. But much harder to knock them off a pedestal when they aren't on one. These are the people who smile grimly to themselves and go on about their business when it inevitably happens to...

    Feel like I’m the only nurse going to lose there job during the pandemic! stressed out!

    TriciaJ replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    Call your prospective employer and tell them what's happened. Ask for a delayed start date. When the worst of this is behind us and travel bans start lifting, they will still be grateful for...

    I'm injection compatability

    TriciaJ replied to Lisa Pekel's topic in General Nursing

    Need advice! Travel Case Manager?

    TriciaJ replied to Coffeelover's topic in Case Management

    I have a close friend who just took a cm job with an insurance company and loves it. It's a work from home job with weekly onsite meetings. Except the onsite meetings are currently Skype meetings...

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Are they trying to make a HIPAA case? Nice try. They can spend 5 minutes on allnurses and there is no shortage of clinical scenarios being

    How to not be discouraged of seeing other Nurses fired/suspended?

    TriciaJ replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Here's how to bullet-proof yourself: learn the correct way of doing things and don't cut corners that shouldn't be cut (for example, there are very few medication corners that can be safely cut; just...

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I'm voting for congratulations as well. Although I imagine today has to be a bit discombobulating for Davey. No matter. We all have your back. And welcome to life on this side of the divide. This...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    And I want to point out that nowhere did Davey cast aspersions on anyone, living, dead or fictitious. All he did was describe behaviours. No one has to wear any shoes that don't

    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    On a semi-unrelated note: on the news today, there are a hundred health care workers in Boston who are now positive for coronavirus. But a hospital administrator from there gave us the good news:...

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    You said you didn't know what the reason would be for you being fired. But of course we know the reason. You didn't give up on holding them accountable. What you didn't know was what pretext they...

    Almost A Year

    TriciaJ replied to kitty29's topic in Retired Nurses

    Oh yeah p/p changes. I did do a few per diem days at my old job after I retired. Until they started training for the new and improved EMR system. That was the real end for

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Davey I smell a termination meeting. Rita is going to hand you a cheque for two weeks' pay and demand your keys. And have Security standing by to escort you out. I could be wrong but I hope you have...

    To All Nurse Preceptors:

    TriciaJ replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    If she was constantly yelling in front of everyone it should be no secret what kind of preceptor she is. They can keep paying her to run off newbies or they can address the behaviour. OP, your...

    New Grad Interested in Leaving Bedside

    TriciaJ replied to AZNewRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Conventional wisdom leans toward staying put for at least a year. The learning curve is very steep for that first year which is why you're still feeling off balance. Do not judge yourself according...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I never thought I'd be glad to not have a talented bone in my body. I do a lot of handicrafts, but my goal in life is to never become good at anything again. By the way, Davey - I'm sorry to hear...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well of course it depends on your union contract (if you have one) and the labour laws in your state. But it's worth looking into. Many years ago, during a labour dispute, my coworker and I...

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    When Rita gave you a list of her available times for Monday, is it possible she expected you to pick one of those times to meet? When you sent your info to the CEO did you indicate that you expected a...

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's Monday. Did you meet with anyone? Are you personally responsible for anyone's aneurysm? Are you hoisting a few and celebrating your newfound freedom? Enquiring minds want to

    Almost A Year

    TriciaJ replied to kitty29's topic in Retired Nurses

    I did a bit of Red Cross nursing before I retired but have done no volunteer work since retiring 2 years ago. I did renew my license last year because to let it go seemed so final. I won't be...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    Well, there's a reason he's your boyfriend and not your husband or domestic partner. Dating is all about gathering information. This pandemic gave you the opportunity to gather more information...
