    Schmoo1022 replied to Butternut's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Schmoo1022 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Schmoo1022 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I hear this all the time at my facility. If anyone disagrees with the administrator, we hear " Nurses are a Dime a Dozen, we have stacks of applications" I have been hearing this for years about CNA's...

    Schmoo1022 replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen this happen more than once. Someone will call out for what ever reason, and if they can't find a replacement, they will call that person at home an 'encourage" them to come to work. I...

  17. Any tips for the 11pm to 7:30 am shift??

    Schmoo1022 replied to waitingforthedream's topic in General Nursing

    I think if your children are school aged or you have no children, it is easier to adjust. I have a 3 y/o and a 4 y/o at home so sleeping as soon as I get home is out of the question. I never get more...

  19. Calling in....

    Schmoo1022 replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    Where are our "rights to privacy". I think if you are calling out sick, it's really nobodys business why. I can see if someone is constantly calling out, but I have had this happen to me and I never...

    Schmoo1022 replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    Schmoo1022 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

  22. Need some advice from pool nurses

    Schmoo1022 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thats a great idea. I just know there is so much you need to know about these residents and it is very scarey to just walk in and go. I don't know how the agency nurses do

    Schmoo1022 replied to southern_rn_brat's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm reading this and it is really scaring me. Noone second checks our admissions or discharges, and the MD does not sign the discharges. What we do is get an order to discharge home. The rest is up to...
