    Chloe'sinNYNow posted a topic in New York Nursing

  3. I'm a GN Nurse w/ Sarcoidosis

    Chloe'sinNYNow posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If anyone knows of it, it's painful. Hard to stand for long. And I'm wondering if my recent dx (albeit I am still in denial) is a sign about starting this new career. I am 39 and feel so tired all...

  4. Question for Capital Region RNs

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to BxLibra's topic in New York Nursing

    Of all the hospitals in the capital region, they pay the lowest. New grad pay is barely $20 plus diffs. Or was it $19? It's been a while. But they consider themselves a teaching hospital because...

  5. Question for Capital Region RNs

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to BxLibra's topic in New York Nursing

    well, the program lasts approx 3 mos but they don't allow you time to actually get your feet wet before "trading" you off to different preceptors as their schedule (not your learning curve) permit. I...

  6. Question for Capital Region RNs

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to BxLibra's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, AMC does take on new undergrads. They have a pretty elaborate orientation program and yes they offer 12 hour shifts, but no they are not unionized. I relocated for this place thinking it was...

  10. What do you LOVE about LTC/N.H.?

    Chloe'sinNYNow posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi y'all, I'm reading a more and more of the disparages among the licensed and certified that give so much time and passion towards Nursing Home care and LTC on these forums recently. As a new...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to szccdw's topic in New York Nursing

    Hiya SZ, first of all, welcome to upstate!! Gorgeous up here, esp this time of year. I grew up here and after checking out the south and even getting my BSN there, I chose to return here. That...

  12. How's this for an new grad with an agency?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to girls1's topic in New York Nursing

    Hiya G, not sure if you're upstate or in the city area, RN or LPN, but for comparison's sake, I recently quit a direct stint (non-agency) gig as a RN-BSN in a NH where I made all of a whopping $17.86...

  14. Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    We had a CNA leave early because she began her period on the job and was only wearing a thong. The supervisor knew she wouldn't return once gone, so she gave her the day off. But the residents went...

  15. Who do I turn to?

    Chloe'sinNYNow posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Good Morning y'all, what's the first step in blowing the whistle on my LTC facility? Who do I turn to? I keep hearing the fear in workers' voices each time they speak of "the state was here last...

  16. Who do I turn to?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Chloe'sinNYNow's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well...I did go to the DON. After I was called on the carpet on my 3rd day by the nurse educator and the ADON!! Such a rap they gave me about how I have to understand where the CNA's come from when I...

  17. Is this reasonable or am I being a newbie?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :yeahthat: I can attest to that. As well as add that it doesn't even cause the folks at my facility to wrinkle their noses. Cuz they know that they (and I mean the CNA's and the mgt kissing their...

  18. Who do I turn to?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Chloe'sinNYNow's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not all too convinced that I won't make it through the exit door before they boot me out. I hope on my exit from this facility, that I can make a difference in the residents' lives and quality of...

  19. Who do I turn to?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Chloe'sinNYNow's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I just got off a lengthy phone call with my ombudsman. She assured me that I'm doing the right thing as advocate for my residents and she tells me they are already investigating based upon...

  20. Who do I turn to?

    Sad indeed Jolie. I'm sorry to hear of this. I've seen the Ombudsmen poster. I will be sure to call in to them tomorrow when I report back to work. After I re-read what I wrote, I realize I...

  21. Body pain as a new nurse?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to cherokeesummer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Valium for muscle stiffness???? Is your doc trying to get one over on you by trying to ease your anxiety in order to ease muscle pain? This doesn't sound right to me. Perhaps to allow you sleep,...

  22. Why did I ever go into Nursing?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to chocolate123's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with the OP. LTC treats newbies like it's their territory. They might as well pee on the walls to mark it that way. I'm sick of it. All they do is complain and loudly at that! Then if I...

  23. Why did I ever go into Nursing?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to chocolate123's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    WHOA!! let me understand this. you worked 6 hours overtime and the DON or Payroll hasn't stepped in yet to complain about THAT? That's just insane. I'm starting my new LTC position 7-3 this week....

  24. LPN supervisors

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to worldqueenie's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Wow, guess it's all relative. Good thing your C.O.L. is so low. It used to be that way here too, but since moving back after my 10 year absence, I've noticed the C.O.L. here has risen, but the...

  25. LPN supervisors

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to worldqueenie's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    LesMon, 13 Yrs experience and still under $20/hr???????????????????????????? SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? I don't understand this. Is this because your cost of living in Missouri is low? I'm starting out as a...
