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

    tinybbynurse replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

    I can relate. I haven't been in PDN longbut u hate it .. the agency is screwed and uses me...I get LPN pay for being an RN and most of my cases are more suitable for a CNA. However, there is one...

  2. low balling me with pay rate?

    tinybbynurse replied to DreadiLocs's topic in Home Health

    PDN sucks. At my agency I got paid 25 as an RN on only ONE case. And depending on the day of the week ... less. But decent pay nonetheless for a new nurse such as myself. After they took me off that...

  3. Burlington Vermont Nurses!

    tinybbynurse replied to J&B-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! Still in the app pool .. I actually moved to vermont in April and live literally 2 mins down the hill from uvm hospital. I emailed hr to let them know my updated address since I...

  4. asking where else you are interviewing

    tinybbynurse replied to vengeance's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a fairly new nurse, I hope interviewers aren't so critical of our answers...though they probably are. Because we'd all love to get in on our dream unit or area but sometimes we can only get so many...

  5. newborn nursery

    tinybbynurse replied to harley91013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know this is old but I don't think so. I think employers like to see passion and genuine interest in their interviewee for a certain speciality...ultimately those people are more willing and open to...

  6. Advice on reason for quitting my job in interviews

    tinybbynurse replied to greenandsilver's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm interested in this post and can understand where you're coming from in a way - while I didn't have interpersonal issues with my job, I am being assigned cases that don't require RN skill and...

  7. two interviews ...what if I get both?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't mind doing things below the RN level in conjunction with RN skills. My agency literally assigns me cases that don't even require any RN skill ... I drive a client or cook for a client for...

  8. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    Oh sorry! It's medicaid that pays I think ...anyways I'm sure either way you guys are right ... cooking isn't included therefore it shouldn't be required of my agency's nurses. I definitely know that...

  9. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    I have an interview in the hospital now! 2 interviews for new jobs ..one of them is not the hospital but it still requires way more nursing skill than I'm doing now. So happy that I may have an outlet...

  10. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    Yes private duty (though my agency calls it home health ...ha) stinks. I have been stuck doing laundry as well. I'm sure actual home health is much better. I'm actually trying to get into hospital...

  11. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    It just bothers me that they kind of didnt take no for an answer when upon hire we were told if a case wasn't working out for us we could just let them know. I guess I should've put my foot down...

  12. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    Medicare pays for all of the services for the clients I work with. I'm thinking cooking is not a part of the bargain ...this has been the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm looking forward to my...

  13. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    Update. I try to decline the case and they tell me I can just microwave a meal. But uh, I'm still cooking for a client and feeding him and doing transfers to and from the toilet. They wouldn't let me...

  14. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    Update

  15. declining a pt assignment

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    I got my paycheck for last week and it says LPN by each assignment I had last week. I too am being paid wrongly .... I work today and honestly I've lost all motivation for this job. Paychecks should...

    Exactly!
