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

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Private Duty

    Well since they know they ended up asking me questions and they know what hospital and type of floor I'll be on. I didn't know how to avoid these questions without seeming rude though I wish they...

  2. Nurses aren't maids!

    tinybbynurse replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    I think I may have already commented, not sure. But I totally get you. I too have been apalled by what I've been asked to do. I didn't graduate nursing school to fold laundry. Or clean poop stuck in...

  3. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ps they are definitely short on nurses. Obviously. Because they pressured me into it saying I'd be inconveniencing the client's and putting them at a disadvantage because "we don't have a back up for...

  4. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. I do understand that 2 weeks is best go give ... but like I said I already have the new job so references are not an issue anymore and it's just merely the fact that they didn't take my...

  5. Am I a bad nurse?

    tinybbynurse replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    Don't feel bad at all. It's not you personally. Maybe part of it is being a new grad, but that still has nothing to do with you personally. I would Def look for something else. I think you'll feel...

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

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Private Duty

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks for your reply! It's nice to hear of others who didn't make it straight in but did make it nonetheless :) I'm hopeful as the hospital I will be working at is part of the network which includes...

  10. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help the agency doesn't have enough nurses to cover my shifts.... that's their problem. We all leave for a reason. They're asking me to stay another week yet wanna keep paying me as an LPN...

  11. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well I got a new job and just attempted to give 1 week notice. Whether or not that's deemed ok to most ....the fact of the matter is they literally wouldn't accept it!! I'm stuck doing 2 more weeks...

    I got offered both jobs!! Accepted the hospital one. :) the pre made schedule is almost done so I know it's not kosher but the hospital wants me to start orientation as soon as possible, so I'm...

  14. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    The care plan mentions his diet as all care plans mention diet. But it doesn't state in the goals and nursing interventions that the nurse is to feed him. Anyways, I had my first shift alone with him...

  15. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    And I'm half joking when I say I technically could probably get off with the health leave ...I moved to a new state 1000 miles away and out of my parents house, so luckily i am now with my wonderful...

  16. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently it's legal to give me these assignments because I didn't sign something saying I wouldn't take LPN assignments I guess ...but of course I didn't anticipate I would get LPN assignments. And...

  17. Giving two week notice...

    tinybbynurse replied to Jess_Missouri_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I know this is old ... But I agree that what does it matter WHEN she puts in her two weeks?? They've already planned to staff without her while she's on vacation ...and it just so works out that...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    NotReady4PrimeTime..how soon did you quit after finding out you'd been paid as an LPN

  19. Nurses aren't maids!

    tinybbynurse replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    And in response to the last persons post ... you're right, it's not your job as a cna to spend all your time doing maid services either! If you wanted to do that you would have applied to a maid...

  20. Nurses aren't maids!

    tinybbynurse replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    I've been tasked with not only laundry but COOKING A PATIENT HIS DINNER. I felt so disrespected. Not only can I not cook well or feel uncomfortable in a kitchen but that is NOT my responsibility! The...

    tinybbynurse replied to ShannonShidler's topic in Private Duty

    I'm a new grad RN (but getting paid as an LPN ...?? Yes, they take advantage of you). My first patient was a trach patient. FIRST patient. I now have a trach / vent patient. Both were stable. But...

    tinybbynurse replied to ptcwhit's topic in Private Duty

    I feel the same way. I hate PDN. Much more suited for the hospital or at least a doc

  23. RN training pay at 10$/hr??

    tinybbynurse replied to gotchills's topic in Private Duty

    It's very easy to get hired ... I had that excitement as well. But I should've known that there was a reason they were practically already hiring me before I even moved 1000 miles away to work .......

  24. RN training pay at 10$/hr??

    tinybbynurse replied to gotchills's topic in Private Duty

    Trying desperately to get the hell out. RUN. They will not pay you well ...may pay you as an LPN when you're an RN and may not match you up with appropriate cases. Most of my cases have been cases a...

  25. How do you quit a case, and do you feel guilty for it?

    tinybbynurse replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

    Also ... I wish my agency would allow me to be taken off a case!! Realistically I should request to be taken off ALL of my cases because they're fit for a cna not an RN and /or aren't paying me RN...
