    New grad, pregnant, job offer?

    Pangea Reunited replied to chaseloveRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would assume that it does have more to do with the weight/lift restriction. Nurses get pregnant all the time, but when someone gets put on any type of work restriction, they're off the schedule...

    Took NCLEX, now waiting for transcripts to process.

    Pangea Reunited replied to schylerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm amazed that you actually got to talk to someone on the phone. I have no advice, but I wish you

    In desperate need of advice!!!!

    Pangea Reunited replied to miss_kay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You either know it, or you don't. I suggest you go to Disneyland or some similar type of place. That's what I did to prepare for NCLEX, and apparently, it

    Pangea Reunited replied to GSDlvrRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The grandiose lies some patients' family members tell me make me want to say, "Doubt it!". I had one "medical doctor" ask me what I was giving his mother. When I told him it was penicillin, he asked...

    Do you feel safe at work?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Nurse4babies's topic in General Nursing

    Security at the hospitals I've worked at has been a "responsibility with no power" position ...they're not even allowed to touch patients or visitors. That being said, I still feel safer at work than...

    LPN school Orientation

    Pangea Reunited replied to Bryana1028's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You are going to watch "The Lion King" and do each others hair. There will be a fancy appetizers and a swan carved out of ice. Wear your very best 70's attire if you want to be taken seriously....

    Nursing license Texas

    Pangea Reunited replied to darlene5's topic in General Nursing

    If they did, then I suppose they can. Were you honest about your criminal history when applying for the Texas license? It does seem somewhat extreme that they would deny you

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Pangea Reunited replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was trying to "help", but bypassing the scanning did create extra risk for the patients. It's inconvenient to be woken up, but safer. I do encourage people with lots of overnight antibiotics...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Pangea Reunited replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I posted my issue, too! And they are both related, so no harm

    Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    Inferior can refer to the "rank" of an individual in the workplace the same way "superior" does. It's not necessarily a personal judgement or an insult. I would probably avoid using it because of the...

    Hired without taking refresher course

    Pangea Reunited replied to chicagoboy's topic in General Nursing

    I know one who was off for five years and got hired ...no personal experience or co-workers who've been off longer than that, though. I would imagine that what you do (and how long you do it) before...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Pangea Reunited replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    When I initially read this post, I interpreted it as her as dismissing your explanation- not the entire issue, itself. I understand what you're saying, now ....doesn't sound like you were treated...

    Working in crisis mode all the time!

    Pangea Reunited replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    I worked like that as a new grad and could only keep everyone alive and "OK" by cutting corners in a big way. Often, patients with a blood sugar between 150-200 didn't get covered, for example ...even...

    Working while awaiting license endorsement?

    Pangea Reunited replied to sunnyrose16's topic in General Nursing

    Would you want to hire someone who was waiting on a license and would be out the door as soon as they got one? Unless employers in your area are desperate or you're already so skilled in something...

    How do I quit my job the RIGHT way?

    Pangea Reunited replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yikes! I think they'd start asking co-workers to call me or just show up at my house. My per diem job is pretty aggressive about "getting my days". My last job kept calling for months even after I...

    Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    Quote from LeChien My whole face is embarrassing but I don't call out every day because of it I think she was just being a bit

    How do I quit my job the RIGHT way?

    Pangea Reunited replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Congratulations on your new job! If you're on the schedule, at all, call and send a formal resignation letter. If you're not on the schedule, the letter alone might

    Do you think I failed my CNA Exam?

    Where is a magic 8 ball when you need one? I wish you luck, but I have no idea if you passed or

    Resume and Cover Letter Help Please

    Pangea Reunited replied to holly234's topic in General Nursing

    I would leave the first and the last out. A good employee should be able to lead or follow. And saying that you don't get involved in "drama" is dramatic, in itself. The middle two could be re-worked...

    How old is too old to become a new RN?

    Pangea Reunited replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

    Wonderful, but creative writing is a very different world than nursing. I don't think I could do either at age 93, though ...so good for

    Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    Pangea Reunited replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've gone to work with a black eye and that was no fun. You have my sympathy. I had no idea cold sores were a legitimate call-in reason in some circumstances. Now I

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Pangea Reunited replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Just follow policy. I've also been "flagged" by pharmacy in the past ...for scanning a patients' labels (instead of their arm bands) too often when giving IV piggybacks late at night. The patients...

    Feeling guilty..

    Pangea Reunited replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have a job offer yet ...and there's a possibility that you might not get one. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Go to the interview, see what they say, then decide what to do. Bringing...

    Nursing Student Working At A Hospital

    Pangea Reunited replied to JayPerez930's topic in General Students

    In may help in some cases, but not in all. I've worked with several CNAs who were not able to secure a nursing position (at the hospital they worked at) after graduating. Of the three popping into my...
