  1. When did this trend start??

    That's been going on forever. I saw some crazy stuff 30 years ago when watching my aunt graduate. I'm hoping I can come up with something as entertaining for those in the audience to watch. Don't take it too seriously.
  2. Military Spouse! Should I tell them?

    As a former recruiter who worked with transitioning military I recommend this. "I've decided to move back to San Diego so I can be closer to my family." They are not allowed to ask about your husband if you never mention him. Protecting that will kee...
  3. Army vet looking to go back on AD as a nurse

    ROTC may require you to go non-medical be careful on the contract and talk to an Army Medical Officer Recruiter for straight scoop
  4. Mandatory flu shots????

    At least we now know that bananas cause motor vehicle accidents. Knowing is half the battle.
  5. Need some comic relief from all this Ebola-ness?

    If you like your Ebola, you can keep it.
  6. What gives with the unsupportive spouses?

    My wife today is highly supportive. My previous wife received the benefit of a six figure income and a man who would leave early to be home for dinner. I made sure that she could stay home and be a mom IF she wanted to. That income came with a requir...
  7. Male modesty double standard

    OP - Perhaps you could advocate for a policy change to protect Pt rights within your facility. Show us some data that proves there is no need for the protective presence of the officers and that Pt outcomes improve. Perhaps
  8. Nursing Dx

    OP - I imagine you started the thread because someone told you that you overstepped your bounds with your chart entry. If you correct every little typo in the same manner as you have in this thread you can expect your supervisors and coworkers to be ...
  9. LSU or charity uniform

    For clinicals - white on white with white trim and add a little white to them just to mix things up. At LSU for regular class - closed toe in lab. The polo shirt with SON logo and dark blue or black pants. I only see the charity students in full wh...
  10. Vial Openers?

    Inject the diluent with a sterile syringe Mix it Pull the mixture with a sterile syringe
  11. 4th week at ED.. it's hell, we should be called gods of labor

    Wow. To think I want that makes me question my sanity. Please keep us posted on progress and lessons learned.
  12. I am Humiliated

    Send it! The other one is already in the trash.
  13. Getting it in writing

    Clear your references before you give them. You choose your references and you don't have to give your current boss as a reference. You don't have to tell your boss anything. Of course they MAY want to hire you if they are checking references. For ...
  14. Phone interview only?

    I've had that happen to two of my candidates in the past. One accepted the offer and seemed to do great for the time we stayed in touch. The other declined the position because they had not seen the facility yet. If you have a concern for the locati...
  15. Need help!!

    Add/replace the fluff with quantifiable accomplishments. Some examples of the kinds of things in our profession that are quantifiable are: How many lives saved in an ER role. How many concurrent Pts managed in LTC or recovery ward. Number of hours...
  16. Getting it in writing

    Remember, just because they aren't interviewing anyone else (new) does not mean you don't have competition like someone they already spoke to and are conducting reference checks on at the same time.
  17. Getting it in writing

    As a headhunter (previous career) there is something to do differently. 1. Don't tell your manager yet. You don't have a job until they tell you, "we will pay you xxxx to be xxxx. We would like you to start on xxxx." Wait until that point to tell y...
  18. They should be force to retire

    Hope I don't make any mistakes when I'm not my anymore.
  19. You gonna eat the rest of that?
  20. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    That's re choir. Lol
  21. If no union in right-to-work state, then what?

    Maybe I'm ignorant to how a STRIKE works. Last time I witnessed one. Management had to step in and perform the functions of the striking employees. How would that work in the case of nurses? Would they not have a scope of practice issue? Would the s...
  22. If no union in right-to-work state, then what?

    Because an entire hospital full of nurses walking out and ignoring the care of their patients should be allowed? If you really want a union go find a unionized workplace. I have seen more people lose in the long run with unions than I have ever hear...
  23. What does your username mean?

    Radio call sign on my most recent trip to SomekindaSTAN where we gave out a whole lot of SomesortaCILLIN
  24. BOLC June 2014

    I did not mean to imply that you would do anything less. I'm sorry if I caused you to feel that way.
  25. BOLC June 2014

    Your main issue will be to provide the Army with a Family Care Plan. The father will be the domiciliary parent in such case that you are deployed. Presuming of course that you are the domiciliary parent in the judgement. Other than your commitment to...
