  1. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course. Targeted resumes are

  2. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothings outrageous about what I said here. Your employment history does not show up on a consumer background check or credit history. Where did you learn that crap? Also, an employer can't find...

  3. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Where would an employer go to see how much you paid in social security ? How would they do that?They aren't looking at that. Also dishonesty doesn't play into this.. omitting something from your...

  5. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Also, OP , if you apply and get a hospital job now, you do not need to put the SNF on your resume when you relocate and apply for a second hospital job. Just let them think you started at the...

  6. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    The cost of everybody job hopping is just as important to the discussion as the cost of a nurse job hopping, because it's all relative. Also, the topic was if it is disrespectful to job hop. I've...

  7. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Out of respect for the OP and the topic of this thread, I'm going to start a new thread to discuss the cost of hiring a new nurse as I believe we have deviated from the purpose of this

  8. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I don't believe you. And the length of orientation is merely one of the many exaggerated items in that article. The costs don't add

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing against Long Island, NY. I was born and raised there myself. But Port Jeff isn't exactly the mecca of

  10. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    One final thing: pre-employment costs are not specific to hiring new nurses. That is stuff ALL new employees have to go through, experienced or not, nurse or not, and therefore again should not be...

  11. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    OR orientations are about the longest out of any hospital orientations and as such has no place being cited as representative or typical of an average length of hospital orientation for a nurse,...

  12. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Vaccines and titers don't cost up to 1000 dollars. A preemployment drug screen is ~60 dollars. Also, reread this. It has a separate cost for drug testing, then another cost for labwork. 1300...

  13. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it wasn't close to any reality. That article is TERRIBLE. Seriously, how is a preceptor's medical insurance part of the cost of hiring a new nurse? They would be paying the preceptor benefits...

  14. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    You get an F for your homework. That might be one of the dumbest things I've read in a while. Most of those are not "costs of hiring a new nurse" as that author disingenuously purports. They're the...

  15. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    But that isn't a breakdown of that figure. That's just some arbitrary number they came up with, from the looks of it. I want to know how they came to that number. Or did they opt to not publish...

  16. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you please break that figure down? Most organizations have nurses fresh off orientation carrying a full patient load, not a half patient load. As for being pulled to support them, that isn't...

  17. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We've all been there. Imagine your unit suddenly turning into a battlefield. Many bad things are happening at once. There is a crashing patient coming out of the OR or ED. An acute bed crunch is...

  18. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    How can training a new RN cost an organization 36k to 48k? That's ludicrous. The cost to train an RN costs as much as you are paying that RN. So unless these hospitals are paying 36k to 48k to...

  19. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

    RNdynamic replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

    What is the loan corps? I don't have loans but am curious

  20. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you speaking from personal experience? I don't do drugs so I'm not

  21. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Couple things: I work in a CTICU and there is always a literal swarm of people at every code. It is so bloody packed that people can barely navigate in the coding patient's room and we actually have...

  22. NREMT Paramedic/AEMT Challenge

    RNdynamic replied to Bob Loblaw's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure there is only the 2 week program that you have to fly across the country for. Everyone seems to use Creighton. Everyone I know who was an RN and wanted to be a paramedic did it that...

  23. How much does monitoring cost you?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree that you can't put a price on the sense of peace that comes with

  24. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    RNdynamic replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just jump ship. It is never "an employee's fault" for leaving a job quickly. It is the employers fault for not providing attractive enough incentives to retain you. Truth. The job market is driven...

  25. New RN being bullied, 7 months in, quit?

    RNdynamic replied to lovelyrn1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    8 to 20 patients?? Is this acute care?
