   AuDDoc replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

   Wow sounds like you are being expected to work as an experience cardiac nurse from day 1 and any mistake you make rather than being a teaching moment is an excuse for a write up. I would just keep my...

   AuDDoc replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   AuDDoc replied to lsand22's topic in General Nursing

   No matter what medical field you go into, you're going to have some butterflies in the beginning when working in healthcare with people. People are unpredictable and your clinical skills are almost...

   AuDDoc replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

   Well if it's union good luck to them firing you for it or anything

5. Welfare Fraud

   AuDDoc replied to RNBSN1591's topic in General Nursing

   Report it anonymously, but like someone else said, anonymous reporting likely doesn't even yield and investigation. I left the private sector because I got sick of the constant entitlement attitudes....

6. Co-workers mad that you're going to school

   AuDDoc replied to futurearmynurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Screw em! It's your life! I've experienced this when changing jobs before. In the end you have to look out for you. If they are friends they will congratulate, hell if they are just decent human...

7. Seven Hells: Vent

   AuDDoc replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

   They can apply for tuition reimbursement to pursue their RN. Many hospitals have this not just the VA. You just have to be able to juggle your schedule and school. Just like you can get your BSN while...

9. Retirement Benefis

   AuDDoc replied to guest12/23/15's topic in General Nursing

   The previous hospitals I worked at had 401k's with matching contributions. I currently work in the VA system and we pretty much have a glorified 401k with matching up to a certain percentage. Only a...

10. Best fitness monitor

    AuDDoc replied to Mavrick's topic in General Nursing

    I have both the vivofit2 by Garmin and the FitBit Charge HR. I like that the vivofit2 is waterproof and doesn't need recharged for a year, but I don't like the software interface as well as the...

11. could get fired!

    She will most likely face termination. Accessing the computer system using someone else's credentials is usually grounds for termination in most facilities. Add to the fact that she used it to commit...

    AuDDoc replied to Carolyn1234's topic in General Nursing

    AuDDoc replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would stick out your residency and get your vesting. You are building good nursing experience. I read through this and I have to ask, are you an AD RN or BSN? If you are an AD RN and they hired...

15. MD to RN?

    AuDDoc replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    Actually 31 as an officer is not old. The cut off is 38 for most branches for direct commissioned medical officers. You also wouldn't be joining the Marines, you would be joining the Navy and most...
