    Is it bad to turn down an interview in 3 days after having agreed to it?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Erica_24's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it bad at all to turn down an interview because you have decided the position is not a good fit for you. Better to do that before than after you've interviewed and taken up their time....

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    More charges? That's for the prosecutor to decide what is appropriate. My point was that I fall on the side that feels the actions of the "professionals" involved in this case merit criminal

    Trigger Warning!

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad coping skills have gone out of fashion. Instead of dealing with feelings in a healthy manner, these feelings are shunned and avoided. It's all about control. Either you discipline yourself and...

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    This case is very well documented in the press. The issue was not about who wrote the wound care orders, it's about nurses charting they did treatments when in fact they did not-and that is only a...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have read all the replies, and had my opinion swing back and forth until I realized that a lot of my feelings were "Here but the grace of God go I." meaning that I have made medication errors...

    Part Time Job

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

    For the moment, you are far better off focusing all your energy on the ICU position. Then, once you get your feet under you pickup additional shifts for the overtime to help out with your bills. That...

    Is $85k worth it for BSN program with no guarantee acceptance?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to nhayes1984's topic in General Students

    This needs to be engraved very deeply on a large rock, well lit with arrows pointing to it and placed prominently near the doors of each and every place of higher education. What people also forget...

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    This would be my concern with one additional thought, What if she does a procedure that is harmful and out of her scope while you are her direct supervisor? That puts you on the firing line as well as...

    LPN supervising RN?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    In my State, everything was okay for an LPN to be charge of (scheduling, admits, discharges) until you got to patient care issues. There the RN license trumps the LPN and if you are the only RN in the...

    Seriously?!?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope they are everywhere. This week it was a 90 something with severe anxiety that discovered the internet, pinterest and Dr Oz (...sigh...). Now they not only are allergic to everything - insisted we...

    Threatened by employer

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to wengee's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of truths in this post. I will add one more. HR works for the company, not the employee - don't ever doubt that. As to the OP, time to polish up the resume and look for another

    Advice for Starting in a SNF

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to NewRNHelpPls's topic in General Nursing

    Run, don't walk away from that place. That job description sounds unmanageable to me and then they cut the promised pay?

    I don’t know what to say ???

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to JenMH88RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes no words are necessary, use you body language to convey that you are "present" and supportive. For example, enter the room with a calm neutral expression (hardest part IME), make brief eye...

    RN switching specialties....indecisive, unmotivated?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Offthehandle's topic in General Nursing

    You have answered your questions already. The speed to which the rejections came should be taken as a sign that your current level of experience is not enough for those positions and or that leaving a...

    Nursing School Forces Retake of Passed Courses

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to malenurseNTX2019's topic in General Students

    Was passing the HESI as a requirement to graduate not made clear? My school had a similar requirement, if you didn't pass the comprehensive exit exam you had to remediate. Don't remember exactly what...

    Which position would you choose: RN supervisor or utilization management?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to designer-mommy's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you say the UM position is less money. Have you calculated the savings you'd have potentially while working from home? Not just gas, car maintenance, work clothes, etc but in time saved? I...

    What did you miss the most while allnurses was "closed"?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I missed the feeling that someone else "gets it". I miss the feeling of passing along something I have learned to save someone else the pain I had learning it. I missed the laughs, both belly and...

    So what have you been doing while the allnurses.com upgrade was happening????

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    After the site went down, once the tremors stopped and I could focus my eyes I fed my other addiction which is searching for recipes I probably will never make yet nonetheless have purchased all the...

    One Thread Wonders

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Some of those I attribute to people not being told what they want to hear. People post stuff with the expectation that the interwebs will validate their position. Those type posters tend to "poof"...

    41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    Before you take this leap, before you gamble your future retirement by taking funds out of your IRA be sure you do it with eyes wide open. Go volunteer at a local hospital or nursing home to get a...

    Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Anon143's topic in General Nursing

    In short, yes they can and no you can't sue for being floated to another unit for heaven's sake. You can vote with your feet and find another job but being shuffled around happens a lot in beside work...
