My weekly reward (after surviving a trip to Wal-Mart) is a giant sundae of vanilla ice cream, Hershey syrup and a big blob of Cool-Whip, which I eat while watching the British soaps I have recorded during the week. I also have an embarrassing addiction to Nicotine Lozenges, quit smoking years ago but can't seem to kick those vile lozenges.

Your new "BFF" AKA the Stalker (This did NOT happen on allnurses, was on another site) Starts out with a response to a thread......... Chapter 1-The Posts in the public forum Q-What kind of nursing job do you have and do you like it? A-Vague, general response Q-I would totally love doing that-what is the name of you employer? A-I'm sorry, but I'd rather not share that information with someone I don't know. Chapter 2-The PM's in the message box Q-So where do you work and are they hiring??? A-Ignore Q-LOL you are toooo funny-I can tell you read my message! So where do you work, and do you think you could get me a job there? A-Ignore, and try to figure out block function Q-Why are you ignoring me- would it be better if I friend-ed you on Facebook? Tell me your name! A-Ignore, and continue trying to figure out block function Q-Why are you mad at me? All's I want to know is where you work, your name and your supervisor's name. A-Ignore and give up on blocking Q-Why are you being such a b_tch? I thought nurses were supposed to care about people. I need you to get me a job and use you for a reference- I thought you were my friend! A-Remove all previous posts and delete account. Discover allnurses and join in the fun there! The End

As well as ruining a person's reputation. 15 years ago, I had just begun working on a new unit when a pt's Paxil (a single unit dose tab labeled with pt's name) came up missing from their drawer in med room. No one ever accused me out right, but from the loud snark over the next few days (about happy pills, my 'unusually' good mood, how the pharm tech was in trouble for missing meds), it was clear they suspected I took it. One of the nurses was friends with my cousin's wife, and obviously told her about it, as that side of the family has treated me differently ever since-and still do 15 years later. About a week later, it was found in another pt's drawer, but I am sure no one remembers that......

Current job 8 years UR Previous job 2 years QA Previous job 10 years Hospital

You need to ask yourself where do you see yourself in 5 years? Is the jail job going to help you get there? Also, why haven't you started the jail job that was offered 2 months ago? Are they awaiting funding/approval? Is this a newly created position? IMO-you need to contact them and ask when you can expect to start. The "contracted" is a red flag to me, maybe contract fell through and job may not even exist now.

Agree with the above posters-do the LTC as per diem, or just resign. The hospital is where you will gain the career advancing experience. Good luck!

Insurance cos, disability carriers, gov't Work comp-that sort of thing. Usually require RN and minimum 5 years experience acute care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Twilight follows the brightest day, And every cat in the twilight's gray, Every possible cat."

I work from home full time doing UR/QA, wear whatever I want. "Twilight follows the brightest day, And every cat in the twilight's gray, Every possible cat."

I like my job, but to get the type I job I wanted, I knew I had to put in a few years at jobs I didn't like to get the skills and experience necessary to attain that goal. "Twilight follows the brightest day, And every cat in the twilight's gray, Every possible cat."
