unless the job you don't like has a MASSIVE advantage (lots of money) over the other one, I'd say get a decent car with a half decent stereo and enjoy the drive every day. Sure, the closer job would allow more time with the relationship.... but if yo...

Last time I booked off well in advance, and was told 3 days before hand that "well... we couldn't really find anyone who wants to cover"... I forwarded her a copy of the approval email she had sent me 3 months prior, and added that she'd also need to...

Maybe these were friends of the patient, and this was some not-so-elaborate set up for the patient to sue the hospital for HIPAA violations. (you apparently did answer questions to some random unknown folks about a specific patient.....)

90% of the daystaff where I work are princesses. We've been referring to them as such for a few years.

Shouldn't it have been put with the rest of his personal property, rather than being destroyed? Obviosuly nobody is saying they should keep the bottle with them in their room.... that's just silly... but the fact remains that they're breaking no law,...

Does everyone who's going in to observe read the PTs consent form to see if they've crossed out that part? edit: Pretty much figured consent forms were frequently ignored... you just happened to catch yourself being violated. Who's to say what happ...

Never do anything you wouldn't do if they just asked. if they take back the plate of cookies, then oh well... your job isn't worth a few cookies. Unless they're ~REALLY~ good cookies.......

1- get a safteypin and glue a piece of magnetic sticker/tape to it 2- put a washer in your badge cover. pin the pin to your shirt at the right spot so it grabs the washer, and it "should" keep the badge from flipping and spinning every time you move....

I've always kinda been a substance over flash kinda guy.... I'll take the reliable but beat up bondo-mobile over the shiny new sports car that doesn't actually start any day.

Assuming you change to a different set of clothes when needed (an incident at the start of shift leaves you covered in blood, urine, or other.... uh... "residues".... you're not going to wear those same clothes all day, right? )... and assuming you d...

Awfull lot of folks seem to think it's fine to (basicaly) steal a PT's personal property...... Hope I'm not the only one that finds that a tad bit troubling.

Uh.... I kinda do watch cashiers pretty close. (especially when I'm buying a lot of items.... I've caught the scanner double-entering items a few times)

Where I work, most communication with co-workers is done over email (well... the ones who work a different shift and would be looking for me to swap with.... the ones I see pretty much work the same shift as I do, so they can't really swap with me) I...

part of what I do is maintain the systems that monitor for pathogens and other impurities in water supplies for a few communities. if you screw up badly, a few people could die. if I screw up badly, a few thousand people could die. I get the whole s...

I don't think there's a job on the planet (that involves some sort of responsibility) that doesn't make you miss meal breaks from time to time when things get hectic. Lots of jobs (mine included) don't allow for people to stop working for half an hou...

"but perhaps you guys have been following the latest media frenzy: the need to have drs orders for sunscreen in school" I actually had to google that to make sure it wasn't a joke. (haven't heard of this before) Wow... just..... wow.

Nope. I think I'm scratching hard enough to draw blood soon.... I don't have kids, but my nephew comes over for lunch a lot... I'd be bloody furious if the kid was sent home with even a chance of a head full of critters and nothing said.

As long as my paycheck clears, and the working conditions are acceptable for the money I get paid.... then I'm good. Guess again. We had one "super special" manager who would give us write ups and put them in our personnel file if he thought we wer...

When I read the title of the thread ... "Lacking Conflict Resolution and Delegation Skills...Really?".... my first thought was that an easy way to demonstrate both at the same time would be to simply say "get someone else to do it" and turn and walk ...

I've always been a fan of pendants as gifts. You can usually find something related to why you're giving it, or related to their interests, and unique enough to stand out and be remembered.

Wow... 11 pages. Anyhoo, I haven't gotten through all of them, but.... What about kids shows like sesame street? My brother got sent to Japan for several months for work, and yeah, he had an assigned translator... but he made the effort to learn a ...

I'm all in favor of actually being able to do the job you're trying to get hired for. If the job requires you to be able to perform physical tasks, then you shouldn't have issue demonstrating your ability beforehand. it's no different than doing a r...

I'd deffinately imform the powers that be of someone trying to get into a position of authority / responsibility / trust that has personality / control / anger issues. That being said, I wouldn't judge too harshly on the whole shoving thing... we ha...

I love how so many places (non medical included) respond to concerns about an impossible workload by helping out the day staff (which are usually already outnumbering the night shift)
