  1. Maximum Hours Worked

    NOADLS replied to ddd2012's topic in General Nursing

    If I do a 3-11 and get forced to stay overnight, you can bet that I will be doing the least amount of work possible. You wouldn't be the one breaking the labor laws. It would be the employer...

  2. Working while in school?

    NOADLS replied to Bb0322's topic in General Nursing

    It is discouraged, but a lot of people do it. I am currently doing my masters while I chose to retain my current position. I would say that if you were willing to miss your social life, it would be...

  3. What thrills you/what terrifies you?

    NOADLS replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

  4. Weed and work.

    NOADLS replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even if it is legal, (much like prescription meds), it can still get you into trouble. This classmate which the OP is referring to is a lost cause IMO. This person will have to learn it the hard way...

  5. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    NOADLS replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Those poor workers and customers probably thought you were high on drugs. I can play candycrush a lot better at night as opposed to playing during the day, so I would naturally think that nights are...

  6. Unhappy CNA on night shift. Help?

    NOADLS replied to michigan94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    While your engineering degree is definitely much harder to obtain than a BSN (I am in agreement with your statement there), your engineering degree holds no value if you are a CNA; therefore, no...

  7. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    NOADLS replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A mass email was a huge mistake on your part and as you could see, you opened the door to any sort of references. If you want a reference, speak to the person you are requesting a reference from in...

  8. New nurse-what do I bring daily for work?

    NOADLS replied to Kebby1016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Different places will require you to bring different things to work. Some places are unionized and will require the employer to provide something as basic as a stethoscope. I bring my laptop and a...

  9. Unhappy CNA on night shift. Help?

    NOADLS replied to michigan94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    LTC. For the CNA's, they always receive their breaks. For nurses, it can vary from either having an excessive amount of extra time to not even being able to take a break. For the majority of my...

  10. Unhappy CNA on night shift. Help?

    NOADLS replied to michigan94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Before I started my masters, I was playing candycrush for a good portion of the shift. Now I am doing my coursework during my downtime. I realize I might sound like a waste of space, but I always...

  11. Unhappy CNA on night shift. Help?

    NOADLS replied to michigan94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RN's have 2-4 years worth of education at the minimum while CNA's will have a few months of education. Education = entitlement. Expect the RN's to have more downtime. If you're in school to become a...

  12. Nursing and Social Media

    NOADLS replied to Showdizzle's topic in General Nursing

    The most effective way for us to use social media to promote our profession is to use very strict privacy

  13. How do US nurses feel about the testing/disclosures they must do?

    NOADLS replied to NurseStorm's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up learning that drugs are bad and despite what I've learned throughout my education as a nurse, the teachings of my childhood cannot be undone. I had an elementary school counselor who really...

  14. Can you work at a hospital with a GED after getting your CNA?

    NOADLS replied to christinamiller12322's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  18. Overtime pay and taxes

    NOADLS replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    Now that I am going for my NP, overtime isn't happening. But when I did take it, after adjusting for taxes, overtime wasn't much more than my base wage. A lot of people who are aware of the tax...
