    Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    TriciaJ replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with KP2016. I'm not buying the whole spiel about seeing how you do on days and reassigning to nights "if it doesn't work out". They're just greasing the cogs for you to be stuck on nights after...

    Medication

    TriciaJ replied to Akam's topic in Patient Medications

    The Board may sanction you for inappropriate delegation if the CNA did not have any qualifications to administer meds. But it would be a long shot for your license to be threatened. This termination...

    NY- Am I in the clear?

    TriciaJ replied to Bee52's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Anything else popped up when you checked your license number? You should be able to see what is shown to a prospective employer. Was it to the BON that you wrote your letter? If you've disclosed...

    Needing help/advise

    TriciaJ replied to obnurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If it is "cleared" from your license, how is it not expunged? What exactly shows up when someone checks your license information? Is there anything else showing up on your background check that you...

    Need advice

    TriciaJ replied to Sbeauty's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I had never heard of the Child Abuse Central Index, so I looked it up. I take it you're in California, since it's the only state that lists such an agency. Anyway, it has its own website which lists...

    Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    TriciaJ replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes maybe someone should speak to him about that because the optics just aren't

    PLEASE HELP! I am prohibited to practice because of a speeding ticket 5 years ago. What should I do?

    TriciaJ replied to Pairmyhair's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    1. Call your manager and tell her you got a letter from the Board due to a youthful discretion you had forgotten. Tell her you are sorting it out ASAP but will need unpaid time off. 2. Arrange an...

    She was lucky enough to have a job that got 3 breaks in one shift? And she blew that? Time for a factory job putting lids on

    Hopefully the house is getting deloused. But I wouldn't bet on it. Quite likely they'll replace the current rogue's gallery with new

    Next challenge

    TriciaJ replied to K+MgSO4's topic in Nurse Management

    Congratulations! Since you have to keep the big news to yourself for a bit, your head's all over the place and you have big changes coming up - is there any way you could take some time off...

    I quit

    TriciaJ replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    At this point, all you can do is float out applications and see what comes up. Maybe your previous employer comes up with something for you or maybe they're happy to cut you loose. Start applying...

    Need Advice with Encouraging Staff to Precept New Hires!

    TriciaJ replied to That Nurse86's topic in Nurse Management

    I would hold face-to-face meetings with the night staffers during the night, when it works for them. During the meetings, tell them what you told us in your original post. Why it behooves them to...

    Insubordination?

    TriciaJ replied to Raicho's topic in Nurse Management

    Sometimes there's not much you can do in that situation without becoming the other half of a screaming match. It might come down to how you handle things after the fact. You're on the right track...

    Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    TriciaJ replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    They're pulling a classic bait-and-switch. They need night staff and aren't getting any hits. So they advertise a day gig to score applicants. They hire you on the fly and get you to sign a...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my nursing instructors used to look at me icily while they told me how glad they were that I'd raised a certain point. But it goes back farther than that. At age 12 I was once required to write...

    TriciaJ replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yes Davey I'm cheering you on for the same reasons as Daisy. I went out on many limbs and had most of them sawed off from under me. This is the #1 reason I don't recommend people starting nursing...

    Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    TriciaJ replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your hatred of the president is obvious and I'm not going to address your whole diatribe. Because it really doesn't matter to me. But I'm not going to let this one slide: he did not call the Wuhan...

    TriciaJ replied to Evolving_Nurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    First of all, buy your manager a lovely parting gift for firing you; she did you a favour. I can't imagine five high-needs patients on day shift with no CNA. It doesn't matter how well you...

    Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    TriciaJ replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It only officially became a pandemic today. And he was criticized for the travel ban on China (racist!). Please be specific about the actions that should have been taken but weren't. That will...

    Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    TriciaJ replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is true. One reassuring thing is how much the current administration is openly criticized. Maybe not pleasant to listen to but certainly a sign of freedom. In a despotic regime the leader is...
