    Will working in a Home Health Agency guarantee you stable P/T or F/T job?

    uRNmyway replied to bobonurse2012's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Home health is not very dependable in my opinion, but that is the case where I am. Might not be that way everywhere. Your work depends on cases assigned to the specific agency. If there are no cases,...

    Regarding a job post on Craigslist for an LVN position..

    uRNmyway replied to flowergrl's topic in Nursing Career

    Right, without knowing location and cost of living, its impossible to say if that wage is fair or not. For instance, getting paid 30$ an hour as an RN is rural...um, Wisconsin for instance would be...

    Job market- ADN students being warned?

    uRNmyway replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Um, I think you might be surprised. The trend I have noticed so far has been to decrease staffing because of the repayment issues. If hospitals are making less money they can afford to hire less...

    Needing some solid advice

    uRNmyway replied to Slandered's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with PP netglow. How tied are you to the hospital? Do you have any obligations to them, other than feeling grateful to this person who 'went out on a limb' to give you a chance? I realize this...

    The Patient Who Receives No Visits

    uRNmyway replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And then you have the other side of the coin. Family members who ignore their parents while they are home, then all of a sudden when an end seems imminent, they come around and try to ingratiate...

    Call to organ donation center post pt death

    uRNmyway replied to LogCabinMom's topic in General Nursing

    Having been on both sides of the organ donation experience (my grandfather was a heart recipient, my step-mother unexpected resp arrest post op), I can say that we were far from pressured to consent....

    Nursing student lied about me to my manager, and I cannot prove it.

    uRNmyway replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I dont get the posters who say any communication or criticism to a student needs to go through their preceptor. Call me crazy, but when I was a student I was eager to learn from anyone who would give...

    Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    uRNmyway replied to lovelylady3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you knew anything about the AN community and it's members you would know that Ruby is not the judgmental type. What your response to her has managed to reinforce is that you are not open to...

    Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    uRNmyway replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread has gone nuts! As a relatively new nurse with roughly 4.5 years of experience, I will say that a good mix of new and old is definitely preferable. Not to say that having all newer staff...

    Time off from work...

    uRNmyway replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I sleep in....That's all I want, just sleep. I always have plans to clean, unpack, prepare meals for the week, run errands, etc. All I end up doing is sleeping and vedging out on the couch, and try to...

    Looking for support re: first full code

    uRNmyway replied to Anne36's topic in General Nursing

    We can't give legal advice on here per TOS. I would strongly recommend you contact an attorney and/or malpractice/liability insurance to discuss. If all your ducks are in a row, your charting done...

    Call light abuse. What to do???

    uRNmyway replied to IBleedGreen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, so for someone who thinks they are God to say that is better than for a nurse to say it, not the same level of lying I

    Tying Patient Satisfaction to Medicare Reimbursement is Problematic

    uRNmyway replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have a question about this...If you receive a questionnaire and don't submit it, does that affect anything? Is 'No comment' seen as 'bad

    New grad feeling left out

    uRNmyway replied to lovelylady3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    But nobody said we don't like to be asked questions by new grads. What most of us have said is to change the approach with the questions. Present a possible solution with your question to help show...

    Got rejected from several nursing programs. What are your coping mechanisms?

    uRNmyway replied to TiffanyLe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I think rejection is something anyone trying to get into nursing school is going to have to get used to. Because, even if you do get in, get through, graduate and...

    uRNmyway replied to mclennan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, the English as a second language thing always cracks me up. English is MY second language. I have been speaking it 20 years or so now though. I don't think it shows TOO much in my writing I...

    Need help. How do I sound the politest way possible?

    uRNmyway replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok, I need to ask this, because I keep seeing this come up on here. To the new grads: How many patients were you assigned in clinicals by the time you graduated? Seems to me like nursing schools in...
