    Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    Skippingtowork replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    The new nurse has a right to ask the question. No one needs to respond if "tired" of the topic. The OP asked how to bridge between old knowledge and newer knowledge. This demonstrates...

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, but I maintain that bad weather is neither blizzard nor hurricane. You cannot see. I've lived through too many blizzards, followed by huricanes to think that anyone should come to work in...

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    That is why people ahead of time and prepared. Hurricanes are not surprises and do not last for days. Blizzards also do not last for days, although bad weather does. I can't say enough about...

    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I was not trying let you reveal your identity, as I believe you are not the only nurse in your state. I just don't understand some of the comments. And I asked for the official statement, because I...

    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Patients that require extensive care or power in the home often go to the hospital during dangerous weather. We always recommended it for our patients. 1-3 days in a safe place beats the...

    You cannot drive impassable roads. Maybe I'm losing my mind here, but can someone post an official statement where nurses are permitted to drive themselves in during the midst of a blizzard or...

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    That's not true! You go before the hurricane and stay. I challenge you to state the hospital name where you drove in DURING a hurricane. With all the lights out, trees down and flying bits and...

    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are not supposed to be on the road if officials say so. I've been in disaster areas and plans were made ahead of time. Those who were scheduled to work, came with extra clothes and stayed....

    She does have problem solving skills. She called ahead of time. These types of jobs use and discard people. The administrators should have had a plan for this weather in the event that an employee...

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I work a per diem nursing job that requires 24 hours notice for calling in sick (???). That way they can get a head start on finding someone. It actually helps if you're starting to feel sick, but...

    Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    Skippingtowork replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how and where they're advertising. Maybe if they go to the city and recruit a bunch of young nurses, assist with securing housing and staff so they could go have fun in the city frequently,...

    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in nursing for decades and nurses call in sick all the time, when they're not sick. That is when they need to "get to work." Some call in sick so often, you wonder if they're going to...

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of comments about OPs responsibilities. First of all, OP is not a nurse. Second, when the officials tell you "no travel on the roads" not even nurses are supposed to be in their cars...

    Skippingtowork replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, if you feel so tired that you're unsafe you can say that. If there is a snowstorm, the hospital can make arrangements ahead of time, as they do with hurricanes. They can have extra staff...

    There are so many factors to consider when addressing children who are overweight. If the school really wants to change things I would suggest contacting a nusring school with a DNP program. There...
