  1. Job hunt problems

    Dawnkeibals posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been looking for full-time work for a couple months now. My question is, how bad is it to accept a job offer while a more desirable job is "pending". Like the old saying goes... a bird in the...

  2. Big issues at work

    Dawnkeibals replied to Lindsey Oldag's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice already on here but I want to add that HR is not an ally in most cases they protect management and the company. I agree about looking elsewhere. If you can leave this toxic situation do...

  7. Team Player Gets Taken Advantage Of

    What is your advice on being a team player but not be taken advantage of? Do you think it's possible? For example if you take one for the team a lot, some people will use that as an...

  8. Learning IV Skills Outside of My Job

    Dawnkeibals replied to Brae30's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to look at Instagram, seriously. Intravenousqueen and the IVGuy are 2 really good accounts. The IVGuy even offers a virtual course that includes CEUs. When I started in a busy Endoscopy...

  14. Say something or no?

    Dawnkeibals posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm looking for input. Would keep your mouth shut or say something to an old co worker, who is a new hire at your current job. I found out a former coworker (tech) is starting at my place of...

  18. Exposure question!

    In my opinion please try not to worry. Gastric contents on intact skin is not likely to cause you any harm. You washed your hands and told your instructor not much more you can

  19. Discussing salary with co workers

    Dawnkeibals replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    Dawnkeibals replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

  22. Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    Dawnkeibals replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, this is what I asked before I phoned the unit manager at home. She was like" I'm not doing it." And continued to sit there. The other girl I asked left and the guy I asked said no, then made...

  24. Tell me about your nurse manager

    Dawnkeibals replied to Ra3liana's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to the eye rolling, seems every time I talk to my manager her eyes are rolling. I figure she can't stand me or she vice versa'd with a 14 yo girl. One recent example that bothered me, a...
