    Does this sound like burnout or need for change?

    While I don't necessarily disagree with those recommending counseling, I have a different question. You mention feeling older and being sad knowing you won't have babies again. Are you potentially...

    Eval from the BON

    This is my assumption as well. I'm curious what the medicine in question was. Assuming it was for a narcotic, then it becomes not only a scope of practice issue but also a diversion

    CCU vs ER

    I had an older charge nurse in the ER who had started an IV on one of my patients. When I asked him where (he forgot to chart it), he said hand/ac/etc but didn't specify left or right. I asked which...

    Unprofessional surveyor

    Wow really sorry you're going thru this. You've gotten plenty of great advice, so I won't add to it. But just wanted to share that something similar happened to me. A decade of great evals, then a...
  5. Interesting point about reimbursement. I'm curious, since home office expenses are no longer deductible do they also reimburse for any of that? For example if you had to get a dedicated phone line...

    Favorite brands of scrubs and why?

    I haven't worn scrubs in many years but some of my favorites were the Purple Label collection by Healing Hands and the Urbane Ultimate collection by Urbane Scrubs. I also found Jockey comfortable but...
  7. Agree with what everyone else is saying, assuming I'm understanding this correctly. But to clarify, what do you mean by "intercepted from the printer"? Did this nurse actually open your chart and...
  8. So the complaint is not only anonymous but also from someone who's never even witnessed it themselves? I'm sure the board will take that lack of credibility into consideration. I do agree with the...
  9. Look at bigger hospitals near you, they may have more flexible scheduling. For example, one I'm aware of has a weekender plan that requires two of four possible "weekend" days - Fri, Sat, Sun, and...
  10. Disclaimer, I don't have either of these degrees but have considered both in the past. Here's a few things I've noticed, although be aware this may vary greatly regionally. Nursing ED jobs tend to...

    How do I break the mold?

    Check some of the bigger home health agencies websites, they often have work from home case management positions. I know I saw one recently on Amedysis. Hope you find one with a better work/life...
  12. This varies by facility. In every one I've ever worked in, RN's and other licensed professionals are required to give 30 days. In these cases, only giving 2 weeks would result in not being eligible...

    My co-worker refuses to trade shifts with me

    I agree with the points everyone else has made and agree clarification on your schedule might help us give you more specific suggestions. I have another question as well. When your coworker wants to...
  14. One thing to consider is that if you take it, you don't have to stay full time forever. You'll have 12hr shifts either way, but you could work PRN later if the full time schedule was overwhelming...

    Self Guilt Leaving Bedside

    I agree and am curious why you feel guilty. But I see zero reason you should. If your guilt is a misplaced feeling of loyalty to your former employer, consider that if they'd fixed their toxic...
