    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Utah Nurse Wubbels Reaches $500,000 Settlement

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    For those saying she said she wouldn't sue... She said she was keeping her options open based on how the people responsible for those events managed the aftermath. And she didn't sue, she settled for...

    What is your Nursing Super Power?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    My superpower is calming hospice patients' families. It just comes naturally. Unfortunately it is also severely draining so while I believe I'd be a skilled hospice nurse, I'd burn out in no

    Explaining a Career Shift After Injury

    NotAllWhoWandeRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    About a year and a half ago, I experienced a lifting injury while on the job. I was returned to work with no basis for declaring me fit for duty, then when I didn't recover as they wanted, they (again...

    Explaining a Career Shift After Injury

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

    Thank you for the reply. I am already working a light physical duty job that requires only a limited slice of nursing knowledge; I'm not looking to go from one to another. I'm losing my knowledge and...

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Some careers involve an inherent risk to life and limb, and so asking those people to risk life and limb is not a big change. Nursing is not one of those professions. I can certainly understand the...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so glad that you are ok. I'd kept this thread bookmarked just in case you ever checked back in. With a guy like that, it's not surprising that he was victimizing a number of women. I agree with...

    nurses with Aspergers/autism?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to RobotNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your nursing style is valid and good. I wish people were more accepting of different social styles, but I'm sure at the end of the day almost everyone is still happy to have had you as their nurse....

    Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Purplegal, he is in his 30s, working as a tech, lying to you, not opening up to you, and being completely passive in the relationship. If there is no growth now, after a year together, you cannot...

    Job offer without telling me pay rates

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to nekoneko's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    TriciaJ is right. Whether the lack of communication regarding pay rate is disorganization or shadiness, both are red flags. Ask them in writing for a formal offer, with pay details. Tell them you...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    YES, ALL OF THIS. Also good work relationships don't break down over one misunderstanding. If a patient's family told me a coworker did something shady/lazy/inappropriate and I trusted that coworker,...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    But he said he had meds in hand. So did he take patient meds into the break room to find Jen before taking care of those urgent med passes? Once I started on a unit with Vocera, nothing was sacred....

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I felt there were two separate motivations to those telling OP not to apologize. One was to avoid further complicating the situation and the other was that he had the moral high ground because she...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    OP did not pursue reasonable swift action with management regarding Jen's initial reaction. Jen's behavior was terrible but if he pursues disciplinary action because she filed an incident report about...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    So you're not aware that physically trapping someone in a room because they're not doing what you want could be considered criminal confinement? You do not EVER physically bar someone from stepping...

    Need help..hate my job :(

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to butters9812's topic in General Nursing

    May I ask what your non-direct care adventure will be? I'm needing some sort of career shift, probably in 1-1.5 years once I complete my BSN, but not sure which direction I want to go. I'm all ears...

    Older nurses

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to poopylala's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I am in my 30s so not yet "older," just a little bit broken, and trying to plan for a career where I'm not further damaging my body (had a lifting injury) but don't feel stagnant (currently...

    Older nurses

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to poopylala's topic in General Nursing

    May I ask what type of position you're currently working? I lost inpatient work involuntarily and keep going back and forth between needing the money and not wanting the terrible working conditions....

    Hostpitals no longer hiring for ADN?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to sauce'dough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guesstimate under $10g paid for my ASN, and it won't be more than $12 (3 semesters and rounding up) for the RN to BSN program I'm about to start without WGU. I live in a major city in the Midwest...

    Do C's get degrees?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to melsothavy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC's admissions were very competitive, but the points system was not based on GPA. So a C in early American history wouldn't hurt you, but a B in English, Psych, or A&P would likely knock you...
