    Dealing with calls from work

    KJ87 replied to Katniss88's topic in General Nursing

    At my last job they were constantly calling me. To come in early when it wasn't even my on-call day, or to fill in when they were short-staffed on my days off. And occasionally the nurse on-call would...

    KJ87 replied to chillnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Lack of basic care--appalling!

    KJ87 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    KJ87 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've seen nurses with funky hair colors, neon nail polish, tattoos, piercings...all sorts of "unprofessional distractions." Personally, I like 'em and don't regard them as less professional or...

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    KJ87 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A clean, healthy appearance isn't all about size. We are still size obsessed, and feature focused, it's sad. Yes, I am a morbidly obese healthcare professional, but as far as I know that has not had a...

    What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    KJ87 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't believe you need to give an excuse, but my facility wants one. I just won't be there, okay? Simple as that. If they're using it to determine who is just trying to get out of work, look at the...

    What's considered a "current TB test result"?

    KJ87 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm looking for jobs to apply for and see a lot of places asking for current TB test results. How long after getting the TB test done are the results valid for? Does it vary by state? By

    What's considered a "current TB test result"?

    KJ87 replied to KJ87's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for answering my question, I really appreciate it. I was thinking somewhere between 6 months and a year would be considered valid, but I wasn't sure. Glad to know it's not typically...

    KJ87 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Virginia Nursing
