IMO this seems unfair. It's always been days get base pay+weekend diff. And NOC get base pay + night diff + weekend diff (weekend pay is Friday, Sat, Sunday

I did! I had to submit a form and give them proof of the descriptions of the class to compare it to their requirements.

So I'm new at my job so I'm pretty timid cause I'm not used working with a bunch of people (used to work 1:30 in a SNF by myself on the floor)... I have conversations with people and I'm extremely helpful when someone needs it but like instead of sit...

Hate to bring up a dead topic but I wanted to say I heard everyone out! This girl that approached me quit because she felt unwelcome, which is probably why she decided to help me out... she felt as though she would want the same said to her if she wa...

Hey everyone, Has anyone taken the Gallup Assessment test and passed? I recently went to a job fair and due to a lower score I wasn't even able to meet a nursing manager. However, the recruiter talked to me for half an hour, asked for my phone numbe...

Just a general question, is it a HIPAA violation to access a chart of someone you took care of four days later? Our system asks our reasoning for accessing chart so I could type in the reason. It would be just to 'check my charting' would that be a ...

Hello everyone:) Just kind of want some encouragement as I'm feeling a bit anxious today. I worked in Post Acute care with 30 patients for about 4 years and recently got a job at one of the best hospitals in the area. They are giving me 6 shifts sin...

You need ceus and CPR prior to clinical start date so get started on them :)

Check out Sheridan tech; I remember doing CPR and some ceus there for the program

I am so thrilled; yet super nervous to take on the new job! Does any one have any experience transitioning from SNF to acute care ? I'm going to be starting in the NOC shift. I think I'm most nervous about starting IVs in afraid of completely failing...

Thank you for the input! I have all my old fluid and electrolytes made easy, cardio nursing, EKG interpretation books from nursing school and i have been taking them along with me :) Nice to hear that someone else went through the same transition !

When I graduated school I took the first job that came at me because the market was very difficult. Post acute rehab. When I started I had at most 15-17 post acute patients; however, the acuity is getting increasingly worse and my patient load has in...

I am doing just that! I recontacted HR and she forwarded my resume to the unit. I then found out an old co-worker works there so she had told her boss about me. Her boss stated, "I am reluctant to hire SNF nurses because I haven't had good experience...

I was very willing but nothing panned out. I think all of that training would be incredibly valuable!

Thank you everyone for the motivational and kind responses 😊

I work in California, very tough market! But the one interview I got in Cali they told me I would be considered a new grad because I only have post acute care experience 😕

I've had two... One in which I got because the Dons family member was my patient and she got me an interview with hr right away and nothing panned out because hr said I'd be considered a "new grad" -____-

To begin, here is a little background about myself. I have three years of experience in a skilled nursing facility. My unit consists of outpatient ER (we continue IV antibiotics), 2 day post op with rehab services, and hospice. Everyday I do admissio...

@tenebrae I thought the same but I have had another interview in another state 2 years back that said the same thing... 'We will have to run you as a new grad'. I just didn't think it was all too common. And this current HR Rep knew about my experien...

Wow, thank you for all of the responses! :) I am seeing the brighter side to this (I would get a Lengthy and scholarly orientation). I guess I'm just so bummed I'm fighting for the same spot inexperienced nurses are applying for as well. I may not be...

I applied for Medical surgical and telemetry. Yes, it is very off-putting. I am competing for the same positions as a new nurses. :-/

I have been working in post acute rehab for 3 yrs and then suddenly I meet the DON of a major hospital at my work (her mother is one of my patients) and she wants to hire me! She had the HR call me the next day to schedule an interview. However, my c...

I type this as I have 5 cuts on my fingers from this work week. The cold weather is not forgiving and hand sanitizer is like an instant paper cut finder. I feel your pain, girl!

I got a urine culture back that has 10,000 colonies of eterococcus (spp). at 2230. When I put it on the emar I put it for 0900 because it should be taken with food. Is this wrong or should have given it at 2230??

No one? *bump
