Miss Mab

I apologized for the tone and I won’t belabor the issue more by continuing this thread. Yes, I agree there was a communication breakdown somewhere along that chain. Whether the pt. didn’t understand her options at this point, or the surgeon didn’t g...

wow just wow

Braniacs-- She still has her ovaries----therefore ---they can still have ' their own'. Granted, via in vitro though...w/blessed surragate. Maybe you mistook her sex question for more than she meant. She wanted to know when she could get going again....

Sorry, I can't speak to the oh so sketchy behavior of your management team--that'll have to be up to you---but on the plus side you absolutely cannot be charged w/patient abandonment as you reported off on those patients you did have and hadn't accep...

"but they are usually the loudest people." spot on, ruby! and with those kind of attitudes, is it really any wonder why the endless posts that come off so entirely negative and blue?

GET OUT ASAP! Not to be too overly dramatic or anything......BUT as if the toxicity for you there wasn't already at a critical level, the fact that your NM threw out the drug/alcohol inquiry is pretty much a flashing neon sign that the table is being...

Let's see.... Curious, eager rookie or opinionated, quick w/the negative assumptions vet? Tell you what, if it were my elderly mom I sure know which I'd much rather have Read much? Good luck, OP. Good advice abounds...

how many times is your post gonna change LT? Integrity first and all that.

LT---your language and understanding of reserve categories and duties are so mixed up I can't even think where to start. There are literally around 12 innaccuracies spread throughout your posts on the topic and I don't have the energy to go any furth...

so who has a CAC card? No colors mind you--just the white?

Weren't the CA nurses able to claim unemployment? I thought I remembered that...

OMG----maybe you just should've said "I'm talking about the IRR or inactives" when it was brought up. That was two lengthy educational posts that could have been spared. lol My intent was to understand why things were getting so mixed up as a gentle ...

Ah, so perhaps the issue is with the casual and interchangeable use of 'active reserve' here, then in another post just calling it a "Reserve card" and now with the above clarifying of "IN-active reserve". While to those who maybe aren't so expert o...

y'all might not want to go out and buy or bring any particular backpack/carry-all as it could become a standardization issue(depending on your particular class) with the rest of your flight and it's possible they'll want all of you to purchase the ex...

Ok, so I guess we are definitely all NOT on the same page here. Not trying to be rude, Carolina, 'cause you do such a great job helping everyone out here and it's highly appreciated. (And I guess with that said I should add an apology for not being ...

yeah, see, this is maybe another one of those issues w/wording that might be making folks somehow confused as it applies to either reserve or active side.... BUT what exactly are people referring to as an active reserve card?----green/blue or otherw...

Not sure if the poster was maybe talking about going reserve? It's been awhile so I don't know if it's still the case but there actually was something called 'Special Pay Incentive' for new nurse accessions with 'critical skills'---of which the CCRN ...

Hi Pookie-- Hats off to a road well traveled :) Jack had some great words of wisdom above. Particularly about keeping an eye on that pesky impatience factor. I certainly can't offer much better in that regard. BUT, I did wanna mention one thing, as i...

Pull the other and it'll play Jingle bells.....

Think it depends on the state as to whether you were actually supposed to disclose it when you applied the first time. For example, I know that California doesn't inquire about any past medical/psych/addicition issues on their licensing application f...

I suppose because I'm rather unwilling to be rude and ignorant is considered more delicate than stupid.

While it's true that we can't be certain whether or not the OP's friend was actually guilty of any ignorant or inappropriate behavior, we can be 100% sure that a few of those who have responded most decidedly are! Look, believe the OP or not----in tr...

I was just trying to get a better understanding of what could have happened here. I read it as NiceNurse is the one who brought your papers in and so was going to do the D/C paperwork and the IV for the other RN who was seemingly needed somewhere el...
