    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    Wuzzie replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s often true but in this case the “occurrence” is simply a call-off which, for a good employee, doesn’t usually trigger the kind of retaliation you are speaking of. I’m betting it...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    Wuzzie replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Annie, serious question. What exactly is she going to sue for? Your situation was entirely different. She is not being denied benefits. Her facility is determining how to apply benefits that they...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    Wuzzie replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While what the hospital is doing is morally reprehensible I doubt it’s illegal and further doubt that any labor board would even concern themselves with what amounts to be a benefits issue that they...

    Floating to Med-Surg Floors due to COVID 19?

    Wuzzie replied to Monalisa9's topic in Operating Room

    They are surveying all our ambulatory nurses to see what skill set and experience we have in case they need to pull us to the in-patient side. If it happens then it’s ED or ICU for me since I have...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    Wuzzie replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While I think it’s a Richard move for your employer to do this to you can thank your jerk co-workers for creating the issue. There is an element of employees who are using vague, unmeasurable...

    I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    Don’t want to work during Covid-19

    Wuzzie replied to boneknuckleskin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one wants to work in the middle of a pandemic. A good chunk of us are at risk and have elderly parents or young children. If your doctor writes you off then you can use your ill time but it's going...

    Infected staff

    Wuzzie replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our union negotiated 80 extra hours of sick time to be used only if we are required to be sent home on quarantine but are not sick. If we test positive we have to use our regular PTO because there is...

    COVID-19 "Tylenol Test" T /F?

    Wuzzie replied to T-Wave's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you sure you were talking to a nurse and not an MA although, truth be told I've met some really thick nurses in my career. Also, point of clarification, it is generally accepted that an adult...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    Wuzzie replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your post might have been helpful if you had left out this part. It really was unnecessary and unkind. And may I point out you ended up sacrificing nothing. I have to wonder if most of the people...

    Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    Wuzzie replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in General Nursing

    Wanting to work in OB does not make you an idiot. Throwing away your education because there’s a chance you won’t get what you want when you want it is an entirely different story. Time to put on...

    New Job, asking for a higher pay

    Wuzzie replied to SC3104's topic in General Nursing

    It's not their fault you are losing those benefits and not their responsibility to make up for it. $40 is way above the average you posted. Why do you think you should be paid that much more? $9/hr is...

    Wuzzie replied to NG KIU HO's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You definitely need to read up on the disease process, surgical procedure, complications, etc. in order to write the care plan. Without the basic knowledge there's no way you'll be able to do
