    RAPID rapid test

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Honestly, I didn't call DPH as I got the PCRs back quickly. (I've not heard of repeating the PCR to disprove the antigen test.) The antigen test results went into the database which then uploads to...

    Returning After Starting Antibiotics

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    The "classic" rule of thumb for students starting antibiotics was that they should be on them for at least 24 hrs prior to returning to school. Lately, I've been seeing 12 hours as the minimum....

    Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    Well, this encapsulates the core of our disagreement. We definitely won't find common ground on the issue. C'est la

    Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    Jedrnurse replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    You're talking about a different sub-set of employees; the gist of many of these posts is about habitual abusers. Yes, you can cry foul when people abuse sick-time, I.e. lie about being sick, call off...

    Mandatory Overtime

    Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    Jedrnurse replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    It does seem that some systems overcompensate sometimes and end up giving legitimately ill people extra hoops to go through. I've become somewhat sensitized to the sick time issue as I'm currently...

    Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    Jedrnurse replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that most people are referring to the predictable and manipulative off-callers (Is that a word? It sounded better than caller off-ers.) who amazingly can fight off any illness unless it...

    Back to the bedside

    This is a very interesting and cool way of looking at it! ...although I always prided myself on using recent photos on Match.com (back in the

    Exemption Friendly Facilities

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe that we've been reduced to debating about whether or not you have a right to not have to wear a mask during a pandemic due to a "disability". It's such a perversion of the entire...

    Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

    Mandatory Overtime

    Jedrnurse replied to ChknWing's topic in General Nursing

    ...not to most employers; to them you're a licensed number used to fill in a slot. (And to answer your earlier question, forced OT generally came about during the shift as the next shift's sick...

    Mandatory Overtime

    Jedrnurse replied to ChknWing's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a unionize facility years ago where it was very common. The units had a "force" book which was a log of when people were mandated to stay. The book kept track so people were mandated on a...

    Mandatory Overtime

    Jedrnurse replied to ChknWing's topic in General Nursing

    What type of environment are you currently in? I'll step out on a limb and say that hiring folks will downplay the mandatory OT in most cases, so I'd be upfront about the issue when interviewing....

    Mandatory Overtime

    Jedrnurse replied to ChknWing's topic in General Nursing

    It's more common with the state of staffing to see this in a lot of places, both good facilities and less-than-good facilities. There's really no way to "opt out". Maybe consider taking a...

    Is it rude to leave work after Maternity Leave?

    Jedrnurse replied to FutRNRock's topic in General Nursing

    Some people go out on "leave" damn well knowing that they're planning on not coming back. That's lying. (Can't tell from what the OP wrote if that's the case- I'm describing work situations I've...

    Are You Certified?

    Jedrnurse replied to Kooky Korky's topic in School

    There's national certification and then there are some states that require their own licensure/certification to work in public schools. (It can range from prep courses to master's degrees.) Some don't...

    Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    Jedrnurse replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    You see, this gives unions a bad name. They should WANT obviously bad eggs like this to be gone. On the other hand, I've heard of situations in which the management can't be bothered to create the...
