If a hotel is guaranteed to have that room rented, they will make allowances on check in/check out, rate, amenities. Ask. The guarantee that the room will be occupied on these days for this many months is a big incentive.

Next time somebody makes that statement, ask them what they are referring to. The question itself may be viewed as being a "strong personality" but honestly, how are you to determine if something needs fixed and then how to fix it if no one will giv...

I would look for a refresher course, take NCLEX, pass and be on your way in your career as an RN in the United States.

Short simple. I was on my break. I chose to nap during my break. I woke up and successfully worked the remainder of my shift.

Never been a participant in a strike but have seen some at another hospital in our area. Some of the nurses crossed the picket line. They also brought in agency nurses. In the end, there were concessions on both sides, no OMG concessions on either...

Make more money per hour, 30 hours a week is considered full-time and am entitled to full-time benefits, can choose to work 8, 10 or 12 hour shifts. If I choose to pick up an extra shift other than what I am scheduled, I get an extra $15 per hour fo...

26 is the age. Something is not right. Now, they could have some kind of company regulation that requires your mother to pay for dependent coverage at age 21. She needs to look into the company policy for you.

It happens. I know someone who failed a nursing class, went on to graduate with associates, bachelors, worked for 2.5 years, applied to four NP schools, was accepted at 3 (Duquesne, Simmons, Drexel, was not accepted at Georgetown) and will start thi...

I wonder if somewhere in the employment papers it states orientation is 40 hours per week.

Maybe you need to type up a list of duties for an NP and pass it around. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe some of them at least really don't understand the role of NP.

The passed performance evaluation should help you in your unemployment case. If they oppose it, when you have your hearing that may get you the information you are after regarding why you were terminated.

They are setting things up to give you the choice of being fired or resigning your position. If you believe this to be true, I would immediately write a very nice letter to anyone that was part of the meeting and state that you felt threatened by th...

$29,000 is not bad.

Never refuse a pre-employment drug test. Respectfully decline the job offer. And just stop with the marijuana. Between pre-employment, random, just cause, the ramifications if caught are just not worth it.

Having no experience in L&D, the questions you asked were spot on! Good luck.

Put a note on your front door stating "Do Not Disturb Between 8 and 5" or whatever time you decide. It is amazing how many times during the day someone is ringing the doorbell, especially before elections, start of school (fundraisers), etc.

Is the course of treatment for an ectopic pregnancy methotrexate, salpingostomy, salpingectomy or abortion? OP, just want to know what your records show as course of treatment. On the OR schedule, I can assure you that salpingostomy and salpingecto...

I think to the non-medical world, "licensed PRACTICAL nurse" and "nurse PRACTITIONER" are similar. Hence, oh, are you going to go further and become a real nurse (RN)?

The situation you describe is not an abortion and I do not believe it is in conflict with any religion, except maybe those that believe any kind of medical intervention for anything is wrong and one should only rely on prayer for resolution.

You resigned and moved with family to another state.

Get a lawyer, quit talking, admit nothing, ask that your lawyer request the results of the drug test.

If you are going to stick with your present schooling plans, the only way I see you being able to pay back all of these loans is to work one full-time job and pick up some other hours whether it be OT at your same facility, per diem, agency, home hea...

Your manager has invested immensely in you when others may not have been so kind. I would stay put and hope that the appearance of your lack of appreciation does not come back to bite you in the backside.

Please do not disclose and refrain from talking to anyone about this. Just don't.

Nursing can be a second career, but it can't be a back up career. Two totally different things. If you don' want to be a nurse (and people have many different reasons for wanting to be one), I believe your chances of successfully getting through sc...
