  1. Not taking a break

    GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks carolina. It's sad that we have such hypersensitive people who take personal offense to critiques of their employers' reprehensible behaviors or their own inactions that enable their...

  2. Not taking a break

    GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    If you are consistently working through your lunch WITHOUT pay, then you're definitely having some issues going on. If it's not a problem with being assertive, then it's a problem with your time...

  3. Not taking a break

    GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you've been willfully neglectful to your patients before leaving to go eat, or haven't charted their vitals or condition your whole shift, then your license isn't going to be in jeopardy for...

  4. Racist surgeon?

    GeneralistRN replied to tech22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes people come from different backgrounds, have different upbringings, and have varying degrees of familiarity and acceptance of different groups of people. It is best to recognize the...

    GeneralistRN replied to lalakay's topic in Nurses Recovery

  7. Not taking a break

    GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take this the wrong way, but there's something wrong with you if you don't feel comfortable leaving your patient for 30 minutes in the hands of your coworkers and consequently are taking meal...

  8. Not taking a break

    GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    You can't permit your employer to get away with not paying you for a meal period that is interrupted. Anything that they had you "sign off" is immaterial and cannot override the FLSA, which requires...

  9. Not taking a break

    GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    If it's interrupted, then by law you must be paid for the meal

  11. Resigning before 6 month probation period - ineligible for rehire?

    GeneralistRN replied to DesertSky's topic in General Nursing

  13. Starting Monitoring in AZ

    GeneralistRN replied to lalakay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well that was a mistake -- disclosing that you have smoked pot. What was your reason for doing that? Many people have smoked pot. However, most people when looking for jobs or professional licenses...

  14. Overreaching authority of programs

    GeneralistRN replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    GeneralistRN replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That would be a convenient interpretation. However, no one would let it slide if the positions were reversed and the OP used the expression "old timer" when arguing with someone else who was...

  16. Can a nurse lose license for hospitalization due to mental illness

    GeneralistRN replied to flava66's topic in General Nursing

    They have no way of finding out without the OP volunteering this information. How would they find out without getting a subpoena for every hospital in the state? This is another case where...

  17. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    GeneralistRN replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why are you being so rude as to call the OP a kiddo? How do you know how old she is? Nice ageism. Get over yourself --

  18. What is considered "job hopping?"

    GeneralistRN replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    Job hopping is a silly term used by those who have at one point or another felt "burned" by employees who stopped working for them because other employers were offering enough of a better deal in...

  19. Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    GeneralistRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nursing News

    This guy was writing bad checks, which cost other people lots of money. Knowingly writing bad checks is just like fraud. Having cancer sucks, but that doesn't mean you get to screw over other...

  20. Friend violating HIPAA! What should I do?

    GeneralistRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A lot of people do a lot of things that aren't okay. That doesn't mean they need to be referred to the feds. Why refer them to the feds, if you can educate the person and they stop on their

  21. Millennials in the workplace

    GeneralistRN replied to ktwlpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ruby Vee: you have posted a highly inordinate amount of threads criticizing new nurses, orientees, and "job hoppers" year after year after year. It's starting to come off as somewhat obsessional....

  22. Millennials in the workplace

    GeneralistRN replied to ktwlpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's stopping you from making the "demands" regarding weekend, holidays, etc that your millennial coworkers are making? What they negotiate with their employers is their business. If it bothers...

  24. Friend violating HIPAA! What should I do?

    GeneralistRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Lol. There's no need to report this stupid video to the feds. I think someone might be taking themselves a little too seriously. Just calm down. OP: talk to your friend first. Educate her on why...

  25. Friend violating HIPAA! What should I do?

    GeneralistRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Wow, reporting her for that is premature. Talk to her first, tell her it's a violation of patient rights. If she says she didn't realize that it could be seen that way and will stop, then what good...
