  1. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MatrixRn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It can be put on the back burner for the reasons stated from myself and others. My biggest issue with being on time for things like MD appts is that they are not on time, and I need to sit, wait and...

  2. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MatrixRn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  3. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MatrixRn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard for folks who squeak in right at the 8am bell to get their heads around leaving early because there is no reason to. Most places will not allow the nurse that arrives early to log in and...

  4. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MatrixRn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and what you describe is indeed a management issue. A person who is tardy often and causes disruption should be managed. I think most of could agree we do not want to lose our experienced nurses....

  8. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MatrixRn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I got what you were saying klone, and that you truly are trying to understand that is why I said I would try to answer....but the reason a person would find it offensive is saying they are 'temporally...

  9. Black and Job Hunting

    MatrixRn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The issue is that there are only so many seats to be had. If the Freshman class can hold 2,000 students and there are 2,500 who qualify for Top 10% from their schools how does the school decide? That...

  10. Black and Job Hunting

    MatrixRn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  12. Black and Job Hunting

    MatrixRn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think what people are reacting to is the term and how it is used it is used to demonize a whole race. The words white privilege suggest a negative connotation that the white person is guilty of. The...

    MatrixRn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I will add that there is also a quota to be met. The school were my son went opening advertised that they were trying to achieve Latino status. To do this they needed greater than 25% Latino enrolled...

  14. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MatrixRn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    "So for those of you who are temporally challenged..... help me understand what happens in their brains that make them this way" This line is pretty offensive on so many levels, but I will take a run...

  15. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    MatrixRn replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do not know if it is a good gauge of competency, however nursing schools in general test to this test. So in theory if they did well in school and the school taught to the test....the new nurse...

    MatrixRn replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I am on of those 80%. I went into nursing with no intent of staying at the bedside as I knew my interest was in education and

  19. How does your employer expect you to deal with... *perverts*?

    MatrixRn replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Telephone Triage

    Unfortunately, there are frequent callers to centers who have various, shall we say, unpleasant behaviors. I can say it is not only males who do this behavior, FYI. As you stated they do have the...

  20. Advice Nurses?

    MatrixRn replied to KG916's topic in Telephone Triage

  21. Healthcare deductables

    MatrixRn replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes the OP did ask the question how healthy people could spend that much, and the answer is they don't. I just extrapolated from there and discussed non preventative care. Good for you finding a plan...

  22. The first year..

    MatrixRn replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Any new job transition [let alone a new career transition] is a stressful situation for any person. It takes time to learn the needed skills and culture of the facility. I would be VERY surprised if...

  23. Huge over supply of nurses

    MatrixRn replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. There are many jobs out there that are not Acute Care, however the measure for many nursing studies is Acute Care. The non-bedside jobs are growing by leaps and bounds. I would love to see...

  24. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    MatrixRn replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all of the above. In relation to point 2, those groups control the quality of entrance by having a national standard, followed by national licensure. We do have a national test, the...
