  2. How could I do this?! Forgot to give report.

    amoLucia replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Smiling - oooh. Another club

  3. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    amoLucia replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Desi - you reminded me. Waaaay back, they had to publish/announce upcoming weddings in the newspapers. Something called 'bans' or 'bands'??? Like it was supp to provide an opp'ty for anyone to protest...

  4. Need advice on transferring to a different position

    amoLucia replied to Spinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Notifying your manager is a general courtesy - just so you're NOT blind-siding her. Nice professional manners are always appreciated and speak well of you. And smart decision to change your...

  5. Need advice on transferring to a different position

    amoLucia replied to Spinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This was one of the options I suspected. Like I said, you DO serve their purpose to remain where you are. But your having been there 2 1/2 years does bespeak like someone else's 'sour grapes'. OP...

  6. Insurance for your license?

    amoLucia replied to Maha123's topic in General Nursing

    YES!! For the cost of about one monthly super duper mocha latte choco

  7. Need advice on transferring to a different position

    amoLucia replied to Spinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My take is that they like you just where you are! In one way, that's complimentary, but it's restricting your career growth. They're nice people and I'm sure, you don't want to feel like you're...

  8. How could I do this?! Forgot to give report.

    amoLucia replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

  10. Using PTO

    amoLucia replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Another word of advice .... late into my career, I learned to keep ahead of my PTO. If there's any possibility that your position is in 'rocky' straits' (for whatever reasons), start taking time off...

  11. The ridiculousness of LTC/SNF

    amoLucia replied to YUKONrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Often, CMAs are regular state-cert CNAs who then go on to take a certifying med ADMIN course. And that's all they do - just pass meds! For good or for bad, there's no in-depth pharm knowledge....

  12. Anyone removed from Orientation early?

    amoLucia replied to 2ndcareernurse37's topic in General Nursing

    I want to be careful how I approach this, but you're requesting a SECOND 12 week orientation period, on top of an already completed 12 week one. Like you're asking for a total 6 MONTHS orientation,...

  13. How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    amoLucia replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    It's almost 1 yr since OP

  16. I used to work in a Nightclub. Does it look bad to play this up to hiring managers?

    amoLucia replied to MikoPDX's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't believe your bartender experience may be garnering you much positivity. Instead, if you've been highlighting it heavily, it could be detrimental. (As in being a bit too flashy &...

  18. New Grad RN On Nights: Violence Causing Anxiety?

    amoLucia replied to NightingaleStar's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, you were the victim of a potential work-place assault. Had you NOT reacted approp, it would have been a real assault. You most rightly can be expected to have residual PTSD-type symptoms....

  22. If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

    amoLucia replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    Late springtime, early Summer, there were multiple brief stints of 98-100 degree heatwaves here on the East Coast. My air conditioning/heating unit malfunctioned. It HAD to be FIXED. My regular...

  23. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    amoLucia replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    No, most prob due to lack of avail clinical sites due to so much competition from the overabundance of nsg programs, all vying for the same clinical

  24. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Very astute observation! You may have hit the nail on its

  25. License Accusation

    amoLucia replied to ColtonsGma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ditto. And avoid social media. A tempting as it may become, avoid discussing this with any coworkers. Even though you think well of them. Silence may be golden but people do talk. Same for...
