  1. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNintheBay replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As a nurse, we represent the hospital/organization we work for. I believe it's important to be sensitive to our work environment by dressing/styling appropriately for the job. I like to look my best,...

    RNintheBay posted a topic in Case Management

    I just started working for an MCO type hospital , my previous experience was following pts admitted to other hosp/facilities and back to home. I'm new to dealing with insurance or lack thereof (i.e....

    RNintheBay replied to RNintheBay's topic in Case Management

    @Neats, BSN thanks for your feedback. I currently work as an Inpatient &ED case manager - each dept diff rules, guides. We also deal with lots of public insurance such as Partnership, Medi-Cal,...

  4. Experienced nurse with a intense, dramatic, anxious trainer/preceptor

    RNintheBay replied to RNintheBay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @kooky korky & @Neats, BSN i'm either a threat or she's venting her home life/personal life at work (I hear her degrade her fam members over the phone lol). Thing is, there's no one else to train...

  5. Experienced nurse with a intense, dramatic, anxious trainer/preceptor

    RNintheBay posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been a nurse for the past 5-6 years; back ground PH, Ambulatory care, and case manager for patients that are transferred to acute care inpatient/obs, snf, and back etc. My new job is hospital...

  6. Experienced nurse with a intense, dramatic, anxious trainer/preceptor

    RNintheBay replied to RNintheBay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @potatoRN I'm currently training with an "experienced" nurse who doesn't like to train, criticize/rude/impatient to everyone, etc. Sometimes I feed her ego and ask her how she deals with (random...

  7. Experienced nurse with a intense, dramatic, anxious trainer/preceptor

    RNintheBay replied to RNintheBay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @PotatoRN you'll have good and bad nurses training you throughout your career. Just truly try your best; I would even go to work early to review my patients while I was getting use to their workflow...

  9. Advice for a New Grad RN After Quitting job/ Orientation after 5 & 1/2 months

    RNintheBay replied to DonovanRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would leave the experience off from resume if you can. When I was a new grad, I had my first horrible orientation experience with a nurse who did not want to train me. I tried my best, asked...

  10. Experienced nurse with a intense, dramatic, anxious trainer/preceptor

    RNintheBay replied to RNintheBay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @Davey Do & @Crush, BSN - it's definitely not a healthy learning environment; I'm not sure how a newer grad would handle such bad behaviour. From orienting with her I have noticed she critiques...

  11. How do you like case management nursing?

    RNintheBay replied to KaeliF's topic in Case Management

    Exactly. Years ago, as a new grad I would never think of being a RN case manager. Nowadays, it's all I know. Despite restrictions due to the need for tightened resource management, it's a different...

  12. I need to vent please....

    RNintheBay replied to Justwanttonurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are in the middle, no RN experience and no past experience for jobs that need MSN. I pursued my masters a few years after working as an RN since I didn't know that specialty to focus on as a new...

  13. How important is it to get a BSN?

    RNintheBay replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    It's very important to get a BSN. It opens up more opportunities and makes you more employable. Some nurse jobs require a Masters nowadays! I have been a nurse interviewer for state hospitals in the...

  14. Bullied by Clinical Instructor

    RNintheBay replied to dorkiexcici's topic in General Students

    I had to comment on this despite being an old thread. There is a difference between instructors that are difficult (want you to succeed) vs. bullying (abuse in power). During my last rotation with a...

    RNintheBay posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I have a dilemma and just want your feedback. I have an interview for a RN position at Kaiser and also one for a county hospital (santa clara). Pay is somewhat equal, both have health...

    RNintheBay replied to omfowler's topic in California Nursing

    It can be pretty tough getting a job in the hospital setting as a new grad RN or as a somewhat new Rn. Have you tried Adult Day health centers? It's not a snf setting, no work weekends, & can be a...
