   What are my options outside of a hospital setting?

   Alisonisayoshi replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

   Right? Me too! OP I am an LVN in outpatient case management. Our last 3 new case managers have been RN not LVN because of the new Health Homes requirements. Do not count out clinic nursing as the...

   hiring pregnant RN

   Alisonisayoshi replied to ap2409's topic in General Nursing

   I just got hired into my dream job very very visibly pregnant. They know they only have like 10 weeks of orientation then I will need to be out. I was upfront with them that I'd like 8 weeks leave....

   Wonder Wink or Grey's Anatomy scrubs?

   Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

   Alisonisayoshi replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Just another point to ponder: years ago I failed not one, not two, but three pre employment drug screens. Each time I failed the on site and when the sample was sent out I failed still but for some...

   A Headache is not an emergency

   Alisonisayoshi replied to Patient4life's topic in Emergency

   I had one once that I was sure was a stroke. The ED was seriously concerned it was as well. True migraine is no joke. Lots of people believe they have "migraines", most don't have much more than a...

   Stanford Rape

   Alisonisayoshi replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

   Well, since I was raped on a church outing, as a young girl, if I followed some of your logic, the answer would be to not send my children to church ever and to never attend church myself. The real...

   Stanford Rape

   Alisonisayoshi replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

   Can you let the youth group leader who plied me with alcohol on a church trip and told me what he was doing was okay in God's eyes know about God's intentions for sex? Because I was 13 and really...

    New Grad, SNF job

    Alisonisayoshi replied to nbsotelo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yup, it's why I left that facility. It was a PM shift too, not a NOC. It happened often when the LTC nurse called off. I just got stuck doing all my rehab pts and half the

    New Grad, SNF job

    I once threw a total hissy in the Med room after I was told I would have 40 pts for the night because the LTC side nurse had called off and the 2 rehab nurses (myself and another) had to split her...

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to bethburlson's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It shouldn't matter what anyone has told you, it should matter that you've done your duty and you and whatever provider you are leaving are comfortable. The provider I work with most often and I have...

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to bethburlson's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
