  2. Anyone having trouble getting hired??

    greener22 replied to skydancer7's topic in Disaster Preparation

  3. RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    greener22 replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not OK. Not fair. And I bet not legal! Gather whatever written documentation you have and find a lawyer. Check your HR policy on missing work due to being told to stay home by employee health. Then...

  4. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    greener22 replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    greener22 replied to aerorunner80's topic in Radiology

    greener22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am not an over charter and I rarely have to stay over at the end of my shift to finish charting. I am actually getting flack from some of my peers because of it. They stay over 1-2 hours every shift...

    greener22 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

  14. Calling in for no sleep

    greener22 replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    Not appropriate to call in due to lack of sleep. If we all did that, there would be noone left. Parents often are up most of the night with sick kids, on call job responsibilites or personal issues....
