    Hollyhocks720 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    has anyone ever done NP home visits for Signify Health? I'm curious what your experience has

  2. Clinical hours calculations

    Hollyhocks720 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’m curious how people are having their clinical rotation hours calculated for nurse practitioner school rotations. In my program, it’s based off contact hours on the site. I’ve heard...

  3. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    It was the p Just Google “entitled generation...” 99 percent

  4. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    Wow you guys - I don’t know where you get your information - all you have to do is Google “the entitled generation” and millennial is all over it - 99% of all the hits will be millennials....

  5. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not even sure where that comes from. I think you’re giving baby boomers a very bad name. That is a very hard-working generation. Probably the last of the hard-working generations. Their...

  6. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    That is absolutely incorrect. I think you’re mixing up boomers with other generations. I don’t know any boomers who got everything they wanted. It’s probably the last generation that worked...

  7. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve seen this behavior in seasoned nurses as well. I think the new nurses are probably more under the microscope in many situations. In an environment where seniority rules and many people want...

  8. Job Flip-Flopping: When Will I Find My Place?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to tinyRN72's topic in General Nursing

    I can’t wait to read all the responses because I feel like I’m reading my own story here. Before I read everything and make suggestions, I’m trying to get my bearings here. It sounds like...

  9. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it’s either in your blood, or it’s an acquired taste- takes time to like it. There is limited way to know what it’s like without trying, but if you don’t like it, there are many areas...

  10. New Study Finds Association between Human Error and Surgical Adverse Events

    Hollyhocks720 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    OMG....agree...they HAVE to come up with better titles for studies so if they are valid (this one sounds pretty obvious - not requiring a study...) that they don’t give the impression of a waste of...

  11. Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Without knowing your policy...is it possible that your OT is paid separately? One of my friends works for a large U-based hospital where nurses are some weird class between salaried and hourly. They...

  12. Job Flip-Flopping: When Will I Find My Place?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to tinyRN72's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought....Travel nursing in your own area. Most agencies allow you to specify how far from home, I know several who travel in nearby towns and return home each

  13. Job Flip-Flopping: When Will I Find My Place?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to tinyRN72's topic in General Nursing

    I think I’m going to be like you! Pretty much ruled out med surg as a place I don’t want to

  14. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    usually a job like that requires 2-5 years experience but I have seen listings like that...can also teach at community college level with a few years experience and “working” on a

  15. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, there are a ton of little things I didn’t foresee, that I could easily leave behind. The fact they set up schedules for 32 or 36 hours generally, to avoid paying overtime, knowing how...

    Good for you guys! How about when handling hazardous

  17. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t apologize for that! You are in good company, many agree with your sentiment, and this is still a free speech society, nobody needs to dictate to you your concerns or

  18. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    The vast majority of nurses I have worked with are decent but there is a dependency on teamwork in many nursing settings and one or two bad apples can really rock the boat. It’s unfortunate but is...

  19. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Can’t agree with that...not sure how you can know “most people” - not a fair assessment - especially when you’ve only seen 2 bullies in 40 years- but thanks for the feedback. Most of the...

  20. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Curious why you are in the forum if not a nurse, but you do not always get to ignore toxicity in the workplace. I am not talking about petty behavior, I am talking about someone bent on undermining...

  23. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    That’s kind of condescending, bullying is very real, and if a co-worker decides to target another, no degree of “getting along” will change

  24. Help!! New nurse that hates Med/Surg!

    Hollyhocks720 replied to M0nk3y007's topic in Nursing Career

    I have spoken to dozens of nurses with long careers, pretty much every change is uncomfortable for a while. It’s not starting over, the assessment skills, med passes and IV comfort level will not...

  25. Help!! New nurse that hates Med/Surg!

    Hollyhocks720 replied to M0nk3y007's topic in Nursing Career

    The hospitals in my area (midwest large and small hospitals) hire brand new grads in every area except cardiac cath lab. Apply somewhere you will be happy. I hated med/surg too, no reason to be...
