    Timesheets/fraud

    PediLove2147 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Home Health

    Apparently the agency I work for is not as strict. I leave early all the time. I sign out for the time that I left (not scheduled to leave) but it has never been a problem. I am not going to sit there...

    1 year down, still frustrating

    PediLove2147 replied to Akeos's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel your frustration. I too thought I would get a few more bites after hitting 1 year. NOPE. I am still rejected from the hospitals. Someone I worked with got a job in one of the major hospitals...

    Is homecare considered experience?

    PediLove2147 replied to rosie82784's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I also wonder this. I am coming up on my year, in home care. It worries me because although it is technically experience a lot of hospitals don't consider it to be. I don't think it is a dead end job...

    Bored to death at work

    PediLove2147 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel. People claim they would love to have a job where they are bored but I can guarantee half those people would be wishing to go back to their hectic job. And yes, "playing all day"...

    Two job offers...torn on which to choose - advice?

    PediLove2147 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the home health position would be a better fit since you don't really want the stress of the hospital. Working weekends I can imagine would be difficult, but like another poster...

    Has anyone worked in pediatric home health?

    PediLove2147 replied to gentle_ben_RN's topic in Pediatric

    I posted in May that I was nervous about doing pediatric home care and I was right for being nervous. I have been doing it a year and wow, I need OUT. It has become very monotonous and the parents,...

    PediLove2147 replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about the strengths and weaknesses question not coming up. It is being asked less often (in my experience) and I have read on a couple sites that it's the sign of a "bad interviewer,"...

    Did I miss my chance?

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I could use some advice. I got a call last Wednesday about setting up an interview for my dream job. I couldn't answer the phone because I was at work but she left a message for me to call back. I...

    I am paranoid because it's such a great opportunity and I really need a new job! I have only left two messages, one last week and one yesterday. I guess I will keep calling and hoping someone answers....

    Should I feel bad?

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    The other nurses on this case continuously go above and beyond which gives them the impression that we all will. Examples: working additional hours without pay, "babysitting" when they've hit 40...
