    Nola009 replied to jwright343's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe somebody's jealous. Keep taking the high road, though. Also keep looking elsewhere. If you find your ER RN job and then leave on good terms, you can always come back

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Career

    As in a letter that would be used while you sought other employment? I currently work in a nursing home PRN. I like the residents and my coworkers well enough. However, I have found that this is NOT...

  6. Would you ask a current employer for a letter of recommendation ?

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure I have the balls to do it, either. That's why I'm asking your opinions! I realize they have invested some money in me... and I am thankful for that. Thanks for your advice and...

  7. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    Nola009 replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The MAs who say they are nurses just give life to the suspicion that they are nurse wannabes! I say: Have pride in your own education and training! Show it by stating what your true title

  8. Would you ask your current employer for a letter of recommendation?

    Nola009 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Nola009 replied to Nursing_Mamacita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a different specialty, but I have noticed the same thing. Young or old, new or not, I haven't noticed a nurse passing much in the way of valuable tips/tricks on. When I think back to when I...

    Nola009 replied to missy26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It might not be an ideal situation, but if you want this hospital job, you'd better figure out a way to hang on and MAKE it work for you. Practice skills on your off time and take good notes. Don't...

  14. Fed up with this RN

    Nola009 replied to Nursingdreamsx0's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like she's on a high horse now. It'll be a matter of time before she falls back to reality. Must be young and

  15. Do you ever contend with pesty ancillary staff?

    Nola009 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Pesty" as in an insect? I try to appreciate, and I kind of find the term ancillary offensive. Sounds dismissive/ diminutive. Would YOU like to be referred to as "a doctor's helper" ? But I...

  21. Difficult co-worker

    Nola009 replied to GM1928's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Please don't resign. Let this play out. I'm sure that in your lifetime you have seen a nasty, rude coworker get their just desserts. It just takes time and all you need to do is remain calm and watch....

  22. Is a ponytail appropriate for a possible interview?

    Nola009 replied to nurse_starlight's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No ponytail. Either half up / half down, a bun, or all the way down. This is an interview, not work. To everyone who said 'well, you'll wear your hair up at work' --- keep in mind that you will wear...

  23. RT vs. nursing?

    Nola009 replied to cakeandeggs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, talk to the DON. 2 days for a new grad is not completely unheard of, but not the best practice either. It's skimpy. Approach and ask for at least a day or two more. If this is a half ways decent...

    Nola009 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    From what I've seen, employers want a decent level of "diversity" amongst their employees. Do you think this is really true? Have you encountered discrimination in the hiring process? If so, what...
