    Here.I.Stand replied to tfloyd's topic in General Nursing

    Right.... I don’t know who they asked for those studies, but let’s see... a free jacket, or extra money to feed my headscarf/maxi skirt/freshwater pearl addictions? Voucher for hospital caf...

    Help with Staffing Incentives?

    Here.I.Stand replied to tfloyd's topic in General Nursing

    How about incentivize EVERY extra shift? I mean I work an average of 30 hours a week... many of us work 36. I would appreciate a verbal thanks if I pick up a princess shift... but there is no way in...

    Nurses on anti-depressants

    Here.I.Stand replied to heartnurse14's topic in General Nursing

    My SBON doesn’t know my medical information because I don’t require them to know my medical information. No seriously— my depression and PTSD are *MEDICAL* diagnoses. We have federal laws...

    HIPAA and court orders and custody oh my!

    Here.I.Stand replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My understanding is that unless the father has lost legal custody, neither mom nor you have the authority to withhold the information — any more than from mom if DAD happened to be the one to fill...

    Giving Tylenol to patient with elevated alt/ast

    Here.I.Stand replied to Imanurse123's topic in General Nursing

    How elevated were they? Did you ask the pharmacist about it? Our pharmacist d/c’s the med and contacts the provider if it becomes contraindicated... or doesn’t verify it in the first

    Travel Nursing

    Here.I.Stand replied to Klori's topic in Travel

    I have no agency rec’s, but I would say you should have a good 2-3+ years’ experience at least. As a travel nurse you will be expected to hit the ground running... even in the level 1 trauma SICU...

    Does size matter (Gloves nurses, gloves!)

    Here.I.Stand replied to guest825264's topic in General Nursing

    Oh heck no! I have small hands — I wear size 6 in sterile gloves. I would not be willing to do messy jobs with anything larger than a size small because they won’t stay on. That is not...

    Do you have a side hustle?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I used to make special occasion cakes on the side, but it was more for fun and some occasional blow money. During my marriage I WAS the side hustle, and now I’m a divorced mom of five and don’t...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Honest question... should Muslims and Jews and other religious people get out of nursing too? Or is your vitriol reserved for Christians

    Is it wrong to leave a job during orientation?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking that too — referring to the post where the facility withheld payment for 90 days or whatever. So if the nurse leaves a month in, and admin says “Whew, good thing we didn’t pay...
