  1. Got an offer in sub-acute, how to politely decline the offer?

    NOADLS replied to EP10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Send them a cake with your decline decorated on

  2. Job abandonment-CNA

    NOADLS replied to Vzuniga627's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually why CNA's have a better defense against patient abandonment than nurses. I'll create a fictional facility for an example. Facility A is composed of 3 units of 40 patients for a total...

  3. Job abandonment-CNA

    NOADLS replied to Vzuniga627's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't high school. Disrespect towards you is NEVER a valid reason to leave work without permission. Now, it is rare that a CNA is ever found guilty of abandonment. There are a lot of valid...

  4. Refusing..... Eye drops??

    NOADLS replied to J2016's topic in General Nursing

    That is why I

  5. Refusing..... Eye drops??

    NOADLS replied to J2016's topic in General Nursing

    This is the standard for a licensed nurse. I don't think an unlicensed med tech is going to be held to that standard. I certainly wouldn't expect that of a med tech. Bonus if they know

  6. How old is too old to safely practice?

    NOADLS replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone who answers with an actual number is probably looking at the lowest common denominator. Not a good approach since the vast majority are above the lowest common denominator. That would be...

  7. Is charting coming before patient care these days?

    NOADLS replied to annonymouse's topic in General Nursing

    It is common knowledge that charting is a lot more important than the actual patient care that

  8. How do you not feel like an imposter?

    NOADLS replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am "that

  9. Doctor stole my stethoscope

    NOADLS replied to ayejay09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not in every circumstance. It is possible for the doctor to be contracted (see:

  10. got fired/terminated

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

    I've seen this story told so many times on here where a personality mismatch with a preceptor has cost someone his or her job. The solution is ever so simple: kiss your preceptor's ass until you are...

  11. Commuting an hour to work

    NOADLS replied to MiaLyse's topic in General Nursing

    An hour commute is nothing. If it's the cost of working in your ideal setting, go for it. Better than a shorter commute and another 8-12 hours in

  12. What sort of physical labour do nurses do?

    NOADLS replied to kater_92's topic in General Nursing

    Work in a setting where you don't have to lift patients. Not every nurse has to lift patients. The last time I lifted a patient was years

  13. Students and Facebook

    NOADLS replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    People nowadays are stupid with social media. Don't become involved. Being a **** disturber doesn't help things. Let the stupid be stupid and Darwin will eventually get

  14. Meals on demand

    NOADLS replied to tiktokrn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I leave the healthy eating for home. When I am at work or in class, I pig out. And my god-like metabolism lets me get away with it! With Pokemon Go! out there, you can pig out as well and burn the...

  15. Misusing the low paid nurse

    NOADLS replied to Saraz23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Perfectly legal and super standard. If you are a competent LPN, this should not be a problem for

  16. When will I know I'm investigated?

    NOADLS replied to The6nurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Do not post any information related to the situation here. Do not make a statement to the BON and only speak with the BON with your lawyer present. And if I haven't made it clear, lawyer

  17. Nurses and CNAs

    NOADLS replied to missmaddie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Complain to management and have those defective droids

  18. What's The Best Way to Quit My Job

    NOADLS replied to Shortcake_BSn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Send in a cake with your resignation decorated over the cake. Oops... completely missed this. It seems the cake resignation will be the new norm for

  19. Is money everything in this profession?

    NOADLS replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Doctors do this all day everyday. Those nurses are only looking for their share of the

  20. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    NOADLS replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I bought my girlfriend red bottoms earlier this month. Looking over previous posts, please don't look into my garage. Most of you will be

  21. I know it's horrible to live off loans but...

    NOADLS replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    Enjoy the free ride and move abroad. Don't communicate where you intend to go to anyone and you won't have to worry about those loans. Search for "debt fugitives." Lots of people enjoy a free ride and...

  22. Taking a Position as a Float Nurse as a New Grad

    NOADLS replied to ColleenT's topic in General Nursing

    Floating isn't desirable. It is the "I need a job, so I'll take anything" position. It is a nice way to build your hours up and transition into something else at the same facility. A perk of that is...

  23. Is money everything in this profession?

    NOADLS replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I entered this profession because I understood that it paid well and employment was never going to be an issue. Pay is very important to me because I want to be well off. If you don't care about the...

  24. Getting into Nursing school with a misdemeanor

    NOADLS replied to mrs303abuse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Whether those tickets are paid or not is irrelevant. They wouldn't be worthy of a second

  25. First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    NOADLS replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The alternative to not being willing to commute is to not accept the job. If you don't accept the job, you don't have to deal with the commute. It sounds like the demand for nurses is very low in your...
