  1. reported to board of nursing?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks guys I appreciate it. I did get a lawyer. He had me write my own statement but reviewed and advised me on it before I sent it in. They are experienced with nursing board cases. But my attorney...

  2. reported to board of nursing?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I won't go into detail but this has happened to me by my previous job. It was not a good place to work for and now this has happened ... word of advice to new RNs... there's too much autonomy in home...

  3. when should I switch from med surg to nicu?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi guys! So I'm ever thankful for my first job in the hospital after some non acute nursing jobs I had. I always knew I wanted to be in the hospital. I got on with a med surg floor but NICU is my goal...

  4. reported to board of nursing?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for your input! Does anyone know if this is reported to other states you're licensed in? I know it would be if disciplinary action is taken but what about before any decision is made? Right now...

  5. reported to board of nursing?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you. That's what I've heard as well ...they try to act casual about everything. Did you have to speak to them on the phone? In person? Can a lawyer speak for you or show up in person on your...

  6. IV starts

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anyone else feel funny when it takes you two attempts to get a stick? Haha. My first stick was on someone who's difficult to stick so I guess I can't feel too bad for missing it ... I got the second...

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Home Health

    I have had 4 cases total since I started this job a few months ago ... one just ended so I currently have 3. I have accepted all my cases with minimum orientation and have not given my agency any...

  8. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    We were told at orientation for my home health (private duty really...it's shift work paid by medicaid) 2 weeks is the standard...so no 4 weeks here. Been at this job for 2 months ...worked for a...

  9. HH agency harassment after I quit!

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Home Health

    I've read a couple other posts like my situation ....is it really that common to harass ex employees because they're that desperate for nurses ?! Working for the agency was horrible ...I got a new job...

  10. HH agency harassment after I quit!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    Oh also I could care less at this point but if it came down to it I could report my manager for some things she's done ....I'm not about to go there but if I have to turn the tables to show how...

  11. HH agency harassment after I quit!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    I feel the same. If you can't reach me any other way there is good ol snail mail. Not that I want them bothering me that way but texting should be out of the question. The fact of the matter is if I...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

  13. HH agency harassment after I quit!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    It does sound like they're trying to threaten me with that. I'll look into my state's info regarding it but just in general isn't abandonment typically the equivalent of walking out in the middle of...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I did quit and now my agency is harassing me! That place is horrible ....run far far away....wish I could mention the name but I won't. But if I could stay far

  15. how long did it take you to end up in the NICU?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    GMG RN... do you really think it's a good idea to get in touch with the NM? I've heard mixed reviews but mostly good ones about doing so. I actually know who she is ...I've done the research yes ... I...

  16. how long did it take you to end up in the NICU?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks so much guys!! Makes me feel happy to see that if you want to work on a certain unit you WILL end up there by just making an effort to head in that direction and by meeting and talking to...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    ALSO. Im not worried about ever working for this company again. I have my foot in the door to hospital work now. And if I ever left I would go to a doc office or back to the nursing home I started out...

  18. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I will not say the agency I work for but let's just say they are a national (now going international) company that is extremely unlikely to be bought out by surrounding hospitals. I will also say that...

  19. how to peacefully resign from clients' homes without awkwardness?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Private Duty

    I definitely tried not to get too personal with the second clients family. She asked, I said yes, and asked how so and so was feeling today. So I did just the right thing! It's so sad that the...

  20. how to peacefully resign from clients' homes without awkwardness?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Private Duty

    This will be my last week. There's one client's family I'm particularly concerned about. It's been forever since they've had a day nurse ...I've been working at their home for maybe 3 weeks? They're...

  22. how to peacefully resign from clients' homes without awkwardness?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Private Duty

    Another clients family found out today that I'm leaving which is fine. But apparently the agency is telling them all that I did indeed get a new job. Which I don't care but isn't my reason for leaving...

  23. how to peacefully resign from clients' homes without awkwardness?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Private Duty

    So true. They are nice people but a tiny part of me IS afraid they'll turn. But I think they're just all around friendly people. But still... it makes things weird. I totally agree with the comment...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    My parents are visiting on wed and my agency talked me into my last day being Friday as I mentioned. This will be the first time seeing my parents since I moved away 1000 miles 3 months ago so it's a...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Private Duty

    You guys are right. I totally didn't mean to cross the line with this family but it happened accidentally! All the more reason to get out because I can't imagine how personal things would get if I...
