  1. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Why is being a social liberal and a fiscal conservative beyond logical sense? Seriously....are you a herd mentality animal that cannot pick and choose what YOU believe in and support it do you have to...

  2. Is it like this everywhere now?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^This. Unfortunately, when it came down to brass tacks and I would do stuff like that---taking items out of the omnicell and not pressing the button---we would get nastygrams that really just...

  3. Is it like this everywhere now?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. The EMRs are also "glorified cash registers". We're being tasked, along with physicians and technologists---to bill for the hospital for every "recoverable" charge. So we aren't just doing...

  4. Non Narcotic Theft and Terminated

    TitaniumPlates replied to exelor's topic in General Nursing

    One last thing---as I don't want to really keep this thrashing of your bad judgement going. Some BONs have rules about self reporting. I read through Texas' statutes carefully and it appears to me,...

  5. Non Narcotic Theft and Terminated

    TitaniumPlates replied to exelor's topic in General Nursing

    why why would you sit around and wait? isn't your license and livelihood more important than anything at this

  6. Non Narcotic Theft and Terminated

    TitaniumPlates replied to exelor's topic in General Nursing

    This is from the Texas BON website: You can draw your own conclusions as I am not an attorney and cannot give legal advice. You need to talk to an attorney FIRST. If the lawyer tells you to go and...

  7. Non Narcotic Theft and Terminated

    TitaniumPlates replied to exelor's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, this is a judgement issue. First, it's theft of hospital or facility property. It's also against any and all (I would expect) Nurse Practice Acts. Second, if I were a hiring manager, I...

  8. Seriously, stop making this job harder! For yourself and everyone around you.

    TitaniumPlates replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    @Davey Do. Thank you? I hope you're being sincere because I know I can be quite acerbic at times, particularly for the last two years where I have literally gone from being THE biggest cheerleader...

  9. Seriously, stop making this job harder! For yourself and everyone around you.

    TitaniumPlates replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for OP. @Oldmanhubbard--I also think that the double standard applies in this case--whether it's because Charge is "fearful" of Maria for some reason, or they are buddies. She is clearly...

  10. Registry while on travel contract - How?

    TitaniumPlates replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    No. It's not. Again with anecdotal information. Local hospitals in California where you want to work want you to do things like a full solid week of orientation in a classroom and then a couple of...

  11. What is the average weekly take home in CA? (2019)

    TitaniumPlates replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    And btw. That 3000 take home Argo mentioned is WITH THE HOUSING STIPEND INCLUDED. Learn what constitutes a travel pay package before you alienate helpful people like Ned and Argo who are trying to...

  12. What is the average weekly take home in CA? (2019)

    TitaniumPlates replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    Ok. Gonna jump in here. What Argo and neda said is that you are a med surg nurse with a specific quantity and quality of work experience. You have certain certifications. You don't have others. You...

  13. Nursing Burnout, Moral Residue, and Resilience: An Interview with Anna Rodriguez

    TitaniumPlates replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the clarification. It hit home because I am leaving nursing because of moral injury---and it seemed almost like someone is minimizing this because it sounds like the profession is...

  14. Nursing Burnout, Moral Residue, and Resilience: An Interview with Anna Rodriguez

    TitaniumPlates replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Question: Why are you changing the verbiage from "Moral Injury" to the more sanitized and therefore less meaningful "moral residue"? "residue" doesn't really even make sense in the context of what...

  15. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    TitaniumPlates replied to wilderness47's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ok ok. i'll got ahead and say it--y'all want to but nobody wants to be the first. OP---what you're implying is not that the test is biased against men. What you're actually implying is that men aren't...

  16. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    TitaniumPlates replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    My point is made. You want to mooch off of everyone---your SO and everyone who has been idiot enough to lend you money, a place to stay or even advice. Listen. You are simply not going to get what you...

  17. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    TitaniumPlates replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    What is it that you have in common then? Not busting your chops Myoglobin, but this is very familiar to me--where an ex had determined in his mind what he was going to change me into once he...

  18. Angry and need to vent

    TitaniumPlates replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    {{{{{Hoosier_RN}}}}}} I have no answers just empathy. The various people that come to the ER as a result of their addictions is heart wrenching. Some are so angry and others are just so despondent...

  19. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    TitaniumPlates replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I think that he is also credited with another saying that comes to mind with the serial contrarianism that is coming from this discussion. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and...

  20. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    TitaniumPlates replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly--a 6 bedroom house with a pool is pretty extravagant especially if there is substantial debt to income ratio. The gyst of your comments is that your wife pays her half and you pay...

  21. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    TitaniumPlates replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. All I asked was a simple question--why does it matter what she does in her off time? then this: "Karen is actually quite gossipy herself, LOL. She constantly complains about people and...

  22. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    TitaniumPlates replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. We deal with nosy nellies very effectively in my department. we tell them complete confabulations and watch them run with it so that they look foolish. after a few of those little juicy tidbits...

  23. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    TitaniumPlates replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't bother me. At all. Discussing "ordinary human activity" isn't what you're doing. You said so yourself..."this forum has been a bit dull lately". This is pot stirring. What happened to going...

  24. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    TitaniumPlates replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Not an excuse to be in her

  25. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    TitaniumPlates replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "I guess I have always seen no reason to hide a second job. Lots of nurses have them, it's no big deal." Then why does it bother you so much that you're rubbing your hands together that she...
