  1. My job concerns

    Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to thank all of those who took the time to reply not only with compassion but sensible information as well. Funny, I took the time to read through a thread on mobbing.....and to be...

  2. My job concerns

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Dear C: Thanks for your response. If I quit, though...I will lose my insurance benefits. I will have no income coming in and lo and behold the Christmas season is right around the corner. I'm scared...

  3. I'm a horrible employee

    Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I may as well admit it up front because I'm sure others will definitely agree. I just don't know what to do about it. A little background: Dec 2005 my ex husband died, leaving me grieving children...

  4. I got great news

    Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. I'm the one who posted about job issues and worried about my health and my job. I saw a rheumatologist....turns out I have acquired some sort of post-infective arthritis in both ankles;...

  5. I got great news

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your warm wishes. I just returned from the foot doc. He said "I've never seen anything like this." Great. Just what I've heard from four other docs. He said, "A normal degree in...

  6. MRSA scare !

    Emma123 replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious: My son wants to wrestle this year. He already had a staph infection on his hands and had to get an antibiotic (bactrim)...it cleared up, thankfully. We assumed d/t football, locker room,...

  7. Tension rising, Things getting worse

    Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    For any of you following my situation, I have a boss who is seemingly trying to get me "fired" because I am a new employee who, as a TERRIBLE coincidence, nothing more, became ill. Well, don't know...

  8. Tension rising, Things getting worse

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the support and advice from everyone. Daytonite, I read through the first part of your post and thought "Oh my God, it's my boss". Just me being sensitive. Anxious. Tearful. I'm not...

  9. So I'm fired. Again.

    Emma123 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Suesquatch, I am so, so very sorry to hear this has happened to you. I am in agreement with previous posters in regards to mentors setting new nurses up for failure. I had it happen to me. It truly...

  10. Is This Legal?

    Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been working for my current employer for 2 months. I have had a myriad of health problems from the get-go. I'm not sure, nor are the doctors (they're guessing auto-immune). Currently I have...

  11. Is This Legal?

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Will do!! Will they tell me after they run the audit who did so? Or do they keep that confidential? I'll ask them about it. Thank you so much for caring. This may help me if it comes down to making...

  12. Is This Legal?

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    On the subject of the EMR.... I thought of that. But I had a different thought process about that. I figured she'd open up Cerner and help herself to make sure I wasn't "faking sick" (I only feel that...

  13. Is This Legal?

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your thoughtful and warm advice and concern. I called my PMD today. He said to get to the ER. I did. My SED rate today was 54. RA factor was negative. Awaiting ANA/ANC. Have appt...

  14. Is this unprofessional?

    Emma123 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi everyone. I am currently working through a temp agency, and tomorrow I have an interview at 0800, then I go directly to work. I won't have time to change from "interview clothes" into scrubs before...

  15. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone. I don't want to make this so long that you have to muddle through it, so I will do my best to keep it as short as possible because I really need some advice. I'll start by saying....I...

  16. Doesn't it seem like forever

    Emma123 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, don't lose hope. Like one poster said, it does take time. You can also ask for the Director of Nursing and leave a message with her or ask to speak with her if she has time. Let her know you've...

  17. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. Well I just wanted to follow up and let you know what happened this morning at the interview. First off, this is an organization that is highly regarded; I "stroked their ego" by telling...

  18. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for all the GREAT responses so far. The frustrating part is that you are not technically supposed to be "negative" on an interview. So, is mentioning fear of losing my license negative? It's...

  19. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, Taz. Ya just made me laugh! Kell...thank you too for the caring

  20. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Taz and Dutch: Thanks for the support and the advice on how to portray it to employers. That's been the hardest for me. I can say I have learned a very, very valuable lesson, and if given the...

  21. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your take on it. It does sound negative, probably because I'm feeling negative at the moment. I thought in my post that I mentioned that I love nursing. Love the work. I've managed to...

  22. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Yes Tazzi...that's EXACTLY what I am up against. I have to sign the consents, too. And I know that's why I am not getting hired. You know the other thing is: When I interviewed for my former...

  23. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    The forms I fill out after the interview for the references ask specifics such as work ethic, eligible for rehire, attitude, attendance. At the top I fill out my name, etc. At the bottom there is a...

  24. Need Advice. I'm afraid my nursing career is over.

    Emma123 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both for your quick replies. I have two previous employers that will give good references. But they are non nursing. And I am sure if I list them, it probably is a dead giveaway too. But I...

  25. Help! Interview tomorrow for 1st HH job

    Emma123 posted a topic in Home Health

    Hello everyone. I wanted to "prethank" you for answering a couple of questions for me. Ok, maybe more than a couple. First off, I am an LPN. What role does an LPN have in HH? Are we quite limited? I...
