    First acute care job: is it possible that they can switch me ove to night shifts without warning?

    Jedrnurse replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in General Nursing

    Often HR sends a letter (or email); it's considered a job offer, not a formal contract. And the scenario you've described has happened. (Not to me, but I've seen postings in the past here on AN about...

    First acute care job: is it possible that they can switch me ove to night shifts without warning?

    Jedrnurse replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in General Nursing

    Umm, you implied that there was a contract. Most places I've worked haven't had them. A job description at best, and that was given at orientation after starting the

    Should I take the job opportunity?

    Jedrnurse replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    How does the cost of living stack up against what you pay in TX? Are you unhappy in your current job? Is the cath lab opportunity a priority for

    First acute care job: is it possible that they can switch me ove to night shifts without warning?

    Jedrnurse replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in General Nursing

    It's perfectly appropriate to ask for time to read a contract before signing it. And unless it's spelled out to the contrary, they can change your hours on a whim. I've heard about "bait and switch"...

    Should I just leave my job or wait for a job offer

    Jedrnurse replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    Don't leave without another job if you can at all help it. In fact, maybe try to hang in and see if things get better with some time at your current position. Are you a new grad? Your post has that...

    What is my "unit" called in english and what profession is it in the USA?

    Jedrnurse replied to Grogon's topic in General Nursing

    In the US, your current job would most closely equate to Development Disability nursing (which often overlaps with psychiatric nursing). Here, also, clients such as you've described live in group...

    So...you stood up for yourself and then promptly quit the job?? A co-worker speaks to you disrespectfully and the whole "environment was abusive"? There must have been a lot more going on in that...

    Tips - moving from skilled nursing facility to hospital

    Jedrnurse replied to SamJS's topic in General Nursing

    You may actually be in for a pleasant culture shock. Some sub-acute SNF patients are actually more "acute than sub" (so you've already had a taste of acute care), and in a hospital setting, you'll...

    New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    Jedrnurse replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I worked with an NP who picked up ICU RN shifts on the weekends. I thought to myself, "Good for her!" It's probably an advantage for advanced practice nurses to "work the floor" once in a...
