    missmollie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can't get covid at work

    missmollie posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    My hospital is saying that if nurses get COVID, it is not from the hospital. The hospital isn't responsible. It's our co-workers, our family, ourselves, but not the hospital. It is safer...

    I hate fake call outs.

    missmollie replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Then she is not technically off and is considered on the clock. When she is truly off, not on call, not scheduled or required to come into work, then that is her choice. I can't blame my co-workers...

    I hate fake call outs.

    missmollie replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    You never "have" to go in. If it is your day off, then it's on you if you choose to pick up a shift because a co-worker called off. Put your phone on silent. My best advice: Your phone is there for...

    What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

    missmollie replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    We should all be outraged. Outraged that non-clinical people are making decisions for nurses as if they understand nursing. Outraged that they don't consider the risks for the patient, outraged that...
