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 employers to get away with wage theft. Do people think so ...

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 management, efficiency, or having trust in the people ...

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 some unexpected occurrence that takes place while yo...

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 positive impact that this variety of worldviews has in h...

Honesty is not a policy that is rewarded in nursing. I'm glad you learned something from this.

Never answer a question to a question without an answer.

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 periods on the floor without pay. I'm assuming you ...

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 that they pay you. The manager can say it's your ...

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

I don't see what the issue is. You are doing this to yourself.

What does it matter? Leave the employer out of your work history. Problem solved. Or just don't mention being ineligible for rehire.

What is that?

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 don't go around volunteeering that information. I...

Sue her.

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 experienced in the field. People would flip out and call ...

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 honesty is not the best policy. Do not mention your...

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 -- seriously.

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 terms of compensation, schedule, or advancement opport...

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 people.

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 own?

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. Chip on your shoulder much? Just looking at your si...

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 you that these millennials are demanding certain con...

So.. get hired for a beside or clinic position at a hospital then apply to the OR as an internal candidate?

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 this is a bad idea. See how she reacts and go from t...

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 will it do to report her? If she says she will co...
