  1. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I was 24 and barely starting out as a new RN, let alone in home health (terrible place to start out as an new nurse imo due to lack of experienced nurses nearby as on a unit/ dr office) , I ended...

  2. previous public reprimand and traveling

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Travel

    For minor things that happened early in my RN nursing career (almost three years ago) there was a public reprimand issued on my license...just this past year. Yes, it took that freaking long. I had...

  3. Explaining past reprimand by BON in interview?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    above is the link to my situation. I have an interview soon and I’m wondering: do I voluntarily bring up my past reprimand by the BON on my previous license? Obviously I wouldn’t lie if directly...

  4. How many years experience for NICU travel nursing?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Travel

    I'm to talk to a recruiter soon, but thought I'd ask here for personal advice, too. How much experience is needed to be a NICU travel RN? Even if I qualify what do you recommend and what kind of...

  5. What do you love/hate about home health nursing?

    tinybbynurse replied to JJsMama79's topic in Home Health

    I just started in HH about a month or so ago. I'm currently the DON, but until another RN is hired, I'm doing field nursing 2x week. Pros: Flexibility - you can run an errand in the middle...

  6. Should I recertify this patient?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Home Health

    Fairly new to home health. Wondering if I should recertify this patient - as far as I know, there are no specific guidelines in place, it’s based on clinical judgement. However, I was told sometime...

  7. General home health questions

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Home Health

    Being new to this area I have a few general questions for those of you who deal with Medicare patients / OASIS charting. The old DON and other RN left recently and it’s a small company - and my...

  8. Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started working at a HH agency and actually really love it. The only thing I found to be really weird is this week the administrator, who was out most of last week when I started so just had me...

  9. let go from job

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone ever had that happen? I know many have. I never expected to have it happen to me. I started a new job not even 2 months ago, and when they let me go, they didn’t even give me specific reasons...

  12. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @T-Bird78 thanks for sharing!! Look at that - what’s up with the weekend trend of letting people go from their jobs at the end of the day?! I’m sure you’ve come a long way since then. I...

  13. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @T__BSN_AGNP21 I’m glad to know i’m not alone. Thanks for the encouragement! @Davey Do oh my goodness I didn’t mean to come across like that ? I figured you meant in a long time span - my...

  14. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @Forest2 I totally hear you. I’m generally an easy going person and get along with everyone. A lot of people were buddy-buddy there though and would crack jokes with each other and have in depth...

  15. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @Oldmahubbard thank you for your words as well!! It’s terrible that personal favor by one or two people plays a role in some nursing jobs. But I know this is just the way it is sometimes. I’m so...

  16. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @ZenLover I totally agree - Justification and truth ARE two separate things. And you’re right - I don’t want to work so closely on a regular basis with a provider who is cold and unfriendly on...

  17. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    YES!! This is EXACTLY what I told my SO the other day! I was like... ya know...they could’ve just let me go in the morning or called me or something, so I could spend the day figuring out my next...

  18. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Three times? And you persevered - that is so encouraging. Thank you for sharing! I am naturally still in shock seeing as how it’s been less than 24 hours and I’d be lying if I said I don’t feel...

  19. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your words. I definitely agree with you. This clinic actually often hires friends of employees, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s someone else someone, perhaps this...

  20. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank you, I’ll look into that. I wasn’t even aware I could get my name removed from nursys - assuming that’s where the bg check pulls my past license info from. Considering I didn’t commit a...

  21. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well the hospital FINALLY informs me of the decision *not* to hire me. Had to wait a few weeks just for them to tell me. Honestly pissed. Have offers from a crazy nursing home 1.5-2 hours away and...

  22. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have an interview today with another facility. I’m wondering, should I just explain my situation in the interview? Is there any “good” way to do

  23. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    thanks everybody for your replies. ?? I’m definitely exploring other opportunities elsewhere. I know that no matter what happens, I deserve this job, but if they don’t let me keep it, then they...

  24. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It’s funny, my parents, obviously concerned for me and my ordeal, urged me to go talk in person thinking it’d cure all. Well meaning as they are and as important as face time is, I agree about...

  25. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I appreciate your sentamint so very much. I agree that nursing and medicine are definitely corrupt. I really am not a negative person! I’ve been so happy and excited about getting into this...
