Ok so DON wanted to write some up. She wrote the actual disciplinary action and made a mistake when describing the conduct (wrote the wrong name of the medication that the nurse gave) DON also signed the disciplinary action and handed it to the super...

thanks everyone for your replies, i dont think it comes as a surprise that I dont work there anymore. I could not come to work without a major anxiety attack thanks to that awful DON. In the past 2-3 years they had 9 (!!) ADONs . This woman was the m...

Hello everyone, I had a telephone interview for a care manager position. The position is an office position mon-fri 8-430. I am not sure how the interview went, I felt it went alright. The recruiter discussed compensation at the end of the interview,...

Hi Everyone, I need some advice. Some background about me: single mom of 1, recently bought a house, mom living with me, working full time mon-fri as a manager (24 on call) plus per diem as a charge nurse on some weekends. I started MSN in Leadershi...

Hello everyone, I have been working as a nurse manager for 7 months now and every day I wish I werent. I'm supposed to work as a "hands on" manager at a halfway house. They want me doing intakes, sick calls, chronic cares as well as everything else...

I worked in corrections for a couple of years and now I work in a halfway house, which is simmilar, but I have never heard of it. If the inmates are scheduled to see the doctor they probably already saw the nurse for a sick call so you probably shoul...

I know I dont want to do this anymore , but you are right, I should give them a change to fix it. I will talk to corporate soon. Right now I am trying to delegate some of the tasks to staff nurses but they are already busy as it is. The more I need t...

Hi All, I am having an issue with my nurses giving out bottom bunk left and right , they all seem to have a pretty good idea when to give them out (musculosceletal issues, seizures etc) but a lot of times seems like they give it just in case (and I u...

I just got an email that i passed all 4 of the assessments :) I am planning on starting the MSN program in March, are there any other MSN in leadership and management students here? if so where do you work now? what are your career goals? I have been...

I just started the Leadership and Management program on 3/1 , done with my first class and now Im in the middle of Organizational Leadership course and I HATE it. I currently work in management so I figured this concentration would help me advance my...

I think I know the answer already, I will change to MSN Education track , just thinking about it makes me more comfortable lol Thank you for your replies!

The MSN in Education requiers the perceptor with MSN? or both MSNs? Im in the leadership concentration and I didnt hear anything about perceptor (or is that only for capstone ) but I just started so maybe thats why

I looked at the Education curriculum and saw it had that course, which is fine once, but more of it is going to be torture lol unfortunatelly thats what Leadership and management is concerned about and all that business stuff and economics is just co...

thank you for your response. Did you attend WGU as well? if yes for which concentration ?

I am trying to find if there is an official rule as to how soon after the order is written it should be carried out / noted. At my old facility stat was obviously stat and not longer than 30 mins , all other orders usually within 2 hours, just wander...

nothing specific in them, that was the first place i looked.

"we got busy" is usually why the stuff is being passed on. when i know they werent THAT busy. Thats why I wanted to implement a rule of thumb. Obviously I will not be counting to a minute but I just wanted an idea if there is somewhat official rule o...

Anyone?!

Hi everone, I just accepted a position at a correctional facility as a nurse manager. I worked as a unit manager in long term and also a charge nurse but never an "official" nurse manager. I have been working in corrections per diem for 5 years. I kn...

I will be contacting you in a near future im sure

I have my BSN, the process was long because of the evaluation and I was getting frustrated because they said they needed transcripts before 22nd of the month prior to starting (that would mean feb 22) but he really wanted it before feb 1st! i was abl...

I have a question, which might be a stupid one lol I have been reading about the accreditation on national and regional level and I get the difference but what if an online school is regionally accredited but I dont live in that region? I live in NJ ...

I cant seem to find the group, do you have a link? thanks :)

Thanks so much for your response! I will definitely join the group.

I would say its all about how fast do you need them to work. Most of the orders I get for prn Haldol say if refuses give IM. One in a while there is a patient that likes to get injections and refuses it on purpose (some kind of secondary gain, idk) b...
