  1. Customer satisfaction callbacks

    AuDDoc replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My favorites are the ones who show up hours late for their appointments and then are worked back into the schedule but have to wait and then they give bad surveys because they had to wait to be seen...

  2. Screaming match with my preceptor

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

  3. Customer satisfaction callbacks

    AuDDoc replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ah this is my gripe with healthcare in general. The H is changing from hospital to hotel and the people pushing for this change have never been in the trenches. Idiotic if you ask me. My go to line...

  4. Are we "semi-professionals"

    AuDDoc replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    I think professional is usually meaning those with above a bachelor's level degree. So if someone is a nurse practitioner with an MSN thenhey would be viewed by many as a professional. A person with a...

  5. Tough spot- Should I tell an interviewer about another position?

    AuDDoc replied to maybug's topic in General Nursing

    I would keep quiet and let her either offer the job or not. If you say you've had another offer most likely she will just pass you over for someone

  6. Screaming match with my preceptor

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

    And that's when I would have looked at her and said "you don't have to let me do anything. The ADA says you

  7. Screaming match with my preceptor

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

    PTSD is covered under ADA. If it is used against him then it is grounds to problems with the

  8. Screaming match with my preceptor

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

    Yes you screwed up. You know that. You say you are a veteran and collecting a pension? Are you receiving disability for PTSD? I've worked with enough veterans to know sometimes you can only handle so...

  9. Circumstances it's OK to quit without notice??

    AuDDoc replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Please tell me your reported them to all the organizations that accredit

  10. Would you respect a nurse manager whose bedside experience...

    AuDDoc replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think managing is more about your people skills, ability to read situations and put your best performers on certain tasks. You need to be able to read strengths and weaknesses (everyone has...

  11. Circumstances it's OK to quit without notice??

    AuDDoc replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Give your 2 weeks notice. Most likely they won't even have you work the 2 weeks out and tell you to clean out your locker and turn your badge in, but why burn bridges? Be a professional and the better...

  12. Fitness, nightshift, and sleep.

    AuDDoc replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same issue when I worked for a biotech lab and was working 60-70 hour work weeks (going in at 4 AM and leaving often times at 7 PM). My advice would be modify your workout routine to...

  13. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

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

    I would be contacting the dean of the program and asking for a meeting. Explain the situation. I would also ask HR for a copy of the reference. In this day and age I think it is illegal for someone to...

  14. Nursing for the USAF or Army- questions!

    AuDDoc replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well in terms of age you are pushing it. I believe for active duty the cutoff for officers in most branches is 38-40 (you have to have 20 years in by the age of 58 I believe) Age waivers can be...

  15. New Nurse With Large Disposable Income

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

    I have a feeling you won't be taking home as much pay as you think. I make over 7k a month before taxes. After taxes take a big chunk out of my pay, then health insurance, then retirement, then...

  16. Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    AuDDoc replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Try having a doctorate and starting out less than $25 an hour then come back and talk about insulted. If you can make 30+ and hour as a fresh nurse with 0 experience you should be happy and yes your...

  17. Magnet hospitals

    AuDDoc replied to bh93's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. I was in the process of getting my AD RN and then would have had to take 3 of the BSN courses then would have jumped right into the MSN FNP courses and not been awarded a bachelors. Usually...

  18. VA (Vet. Affairs) nurses

    AuDDoc replied to Hmfog's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what your degree is. BSN is easier to get hired on than AD RN. You want to seek out the nurse recruiter for each VA. They are usually listed on the VA employment web page. Contact the...

  19. VA (Vet. Affairs) nurses

    AuDDoc replied to Hmfog's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on what VA you work at, you may basically be in a constant battle with toxic middle management. Also be prepared at many VA's to deal with verbal and sometimes physical abuse that is just...

  20. BSN to PA?

    AuDDoc replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I checked it out. Too bad that's far away from me and it's not about 5 years ago. All the programs in the Midwest are super

  21. BSN to PA?

    AuDDoc replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's really more the specialty and what the physicians

  22. BSN to PA?

    AuDDoc replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    Are physicians lobbying for PA wages? No, but their wages are tied to physicians so when they lobby the PA's get to tag along. One thing I noticed about nursing very early on was the state and...

  23. BSN to PA?

    AuDDoc replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to know the name of your university since I had a 3.7 overall GPA from undergraduate in pre-med and a 3.95 in Psych major and a 3.97 GPA in graduate school and with over 4k clinical clock...

  24. BSN to PA?

    AuDDoc replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is they still had to take all the pre-reqs (might as well get the degree at that point) and had a lot of healthcare experience prior to being accepted to PA

  25. BSN to PA?

    AuDDoc replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    I would do an FNP. Why? Well you already have an RN so you could complete an FNP master's program and still be able to work while you earned your masters. There is no working your way up. PA's and...
