  1. Teachers Discriminating against students

    beekee replied to harkness1989's topic in General Students

    Listen to your lawyer. Move on. At the end of the day, you failed because you slept through your presentation. None of the other students matter, no matter how unfair it

  2. Best strategies for handling absenteeism

    beekee replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    I would like to see your sources. I’ve never heard anyone consider employment issues patient

  3. Best strategies for handling absenteeism

    beekee replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    It’s patient abandonment if I call out sick? Really?!?! I’ve worked sick. I’m slower, less efficient, more prone to errors and may pass my illness to people who cannot physically handle more...

  4. Falls

    beekee replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    I’m going to take a wild guess here and say that the fall was an “easy” way to get rid of you. Why they wanted you out I have no idea, but that’s what it sounds like to

  5. Hydralazine question

    beekee replied to CLP75's topic in Patient Medications

    Did you take a look at the MD’s note? Sometimes that’ll give you information on what they want. I would have also taken a look at the patient’s BP trends (although difficult in a new med)....

  6. New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

    beekee replied to Scrubba Dub's topic in General Nursing

    Offer to resign in lieu of being fired. It might not prevent you from landing on the “do not hire” list, but it’ll save you a lot of grief in future job hunting when asked if you have even been...

  7. Alexa, I need to go to the bathroom???

    beekee replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    But they freed up all that time spent on helping with the TV! (Seriously, If a patient can’t figure out a remote control, Alexa is NOT going to utilize less nurse time). Instead of screaming NURSE...

  8. Are there any hospitals that will pay for nursing school?

    beekee replied to Daniellednm's topic in General Nursing

    Call HR of hospitals where you would like to work and

  9. I work as a firefighter but seriously considering nursing

    beekee replied to Madigan's topic in Nursing Career

    Don’t think you can’t do an ADN. I did, then I got my BSN online while I was working. Not all nurses are women dressed in capes wiping the brow of the downtrodden. There are over 3 million nurses....

  10. Possibly the Worst Hiring Experience Ever

    beekee replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I would have quit pursuing that job fairly quickly. The way they treat you in the hiring process is the BEST they are going to ever be. I can’t imagine it going downhill from where you ended

  11. Alcohol withdrawal unit?

    beekee replied to Nurse Pompom's topic in General Nursing

    Treat everyone with respect. Many in this patient population have comorbid mental health issues, as well as issues like homelessness, lack of access to health care, etc. However, certainly not all....

  12. Higher Education after LPN--What Program Credits Transfer?

    beekee replied to nursetati's topic in General Nursing

    Skip the LPN, unless you need to work as a nurse while you work on your RN. I went the ADN route, then did an online RN to BSN program. I’m not going any further. Where I went, the LPNs got 5...

  13. Regrets after regrets!

    beekee replied to Toaster's topic in General Nursing

    Before you try to accept this job again, remember that it’s not just the cost of buying the car. You will need to park it somewhere. And car insurance. And gas, oil changes, repairs and maintenance....

  14. Arrested as a juvenile but fingerprinted as an adult ! Now I have a issue

    beekee replied to Angierenee_'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My guess is that you were charged as an adult. Even if you are a juvenile at the time of the crime, you can still be charged as an adult. If I were to guess...I would think that if you paid a fine and...

    beekee replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

  16. Can I get Fired?

    beekee replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    Well, they can still fire you. They just have to pay unemployment if they do. ETA: Regardless of the appropriate term, they can get rid of you. In the end, it really doesn’t matter as you don’t...

    In the US, unless you are in a union, you can get fired for any reason except one relating to a protected class (e.g. race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability,

  19. Refusing assignment and management

    beekee replied to HeyitsSarah's topic in General Nursing

    They will likely consider you walking off as your resignation. If they don’t, they will likely fire you. They may report you to the BON, so be prepared for that possibility. However, it doesn’t...

  20. Med-Surg Negativity

    beekee replied to jthoma43's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely start on days. You will have more interaction with the doctors, PT, OT, dietitians, etc. You will send people to procedures and get them back. You will do more patient education. This will...

  21. Should I say NO to refilling meds for med nurses?

    beekee replied to Earthgrlrn's topic in Patient Medications

    It’s been a couple years, but I vaguely remember that our med cards had reorder stickers you could pull off and place on a reorder sheet. Do you have something like that or is that something your...

  22. New grad nurse--how soon for PRN job?

    beekee replied to coneal783's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of PRN jobs have weekend and holiday requirements, so be aware of that going in. It’s usually not just when you feel like working. I think everyone is a little different, there’s absolutely...

  23. Include previous career in resume?

    beekee replied to NurseUnicorn's topic in General Nursing

    Your prior experience shows that you are organized, able to set priorities, are computer literate, able to maintain a professional demeanor in stressful situations, etc. These are definitely all...

  24. Does Hospital Leadership and Policy Promote Working When Sick?

    beekee replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Please look into intermittent FMLA. You shouldn’t have to struggle this much and there are laws in place to

  25. Should I have accessed her port?

    beekee replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    A sickle cell patient that’s in and out of the hospital so much so as to get a port should be allowed to use it when they are in the
